Looking Glass (2020)
(Chronicles of Alice, book 3)
Christina Henry
"A dark, delightfully disturbing fall down a rabbit hole of madness."
Burn the Dark (2020)
(Malus Domestica, book 1)
S A Hunt
"S. A. Hunt's Burn the Night is a bold, sharp, fresh take on urban fantasy that brings it into the 21 century. The characters feel real and their flaws make them beautiful. The world building is impressive and immersive, the prose is sharp and tight, and the scary is damn scary. It's a lot of fun!"
The Midnight Front (2018)
(Dark Arts , book 1)
David Mack
"The Dark Arts series hits the ground running. Exciting and smart, David Mack's secret history of World War II and the occult heroes and villains that fought it will keep you up well past midnight."
