Five sexy soldiers--a Warrior, a Frost Mage, a Tinker, a Ranger, and a Shadow--fight alongside Dionna in this Reverse Harem Paranormal Romance

Dionna is an average Pyromancer—a fire-wielding sorceress—hoping only to pass her Academy Assessment.
But all of Dionna’s concerns become trivial when the Academy is attacked by the Silithik Hivemind: a race of monstrous insects that kill most of her fellow students in a savage sneak attack.

The gods are dying. Thane has served his goddess for thousands of lifetimes, but even he knows that time is running out. There's only one way to save her, to save all of Dweller kind, and it's a suicide mission.
The host is a boy named Jakob. His ancient soul is one of the rare sources of power still recycling in the world of flesh. Thane has taken so many souls to his goddess, but this one could save them all.
It's only when Thane learns the truth of the gods does he deny them their power. Souls aren't recycled. They're destroyed, and his goddess isn't a deity... she's a monster.
Permanently melded with his human host, Thane meets his soulmate, a woman who captures his heart like his goddess never did. He'll do anything to protect her, and the gods know it.

Winter of the Gods and Other Stories
Winter of the Gods and Other Stories E.P. Clark
"So which danger are you, grandmother? Wolves? Snow? Hunger? Or something other?"
"Something other, my dear."
Classic Russian fairy tales are reimagined in this subversive collection of stories set in the matriarchal world of Zem’.

For fans of The Mists of Avalon and other female-oriented fantasy, as well as metaphysical/visionary writing.

These sound like stories that I would enjoy, and I love the cover!
'Winter of the Gods' is a fantastic title. The premise, a reimagining of classic Russian fairy tales, is even more interesting. If you're looking for stories of warriors and magic, give it a try!

Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon-transcending Magimal Weiqi Wang
This is the first book of a teen fantasy book series that nurtures the bloom of MAGIC in the soil of SCIENCE - something rarely attempted. The transition from magic to science will be bit by bit, so the early books do read like a "mainstream" magic fantasy.
Soarame has a pair of special eyes. He can see magic elements in this world, which are supposed to be invisible. This enviable gift of his could reveal the truth of the world, but it also puts him in danger.
Many animals in this world possess magic power, so they are called “magimals” - dragons as examples. Soarame fortunately got a baby magimal as his best friend, but they got into troubles together - troubles that were a lot bigger than dragons.
Could they survive?
