Ann Dávila Cardinal recommends

Salt Bones (2025)
Jennifer Givhan
"A beautifully woven tale of three strong women and the family ties that support, and those that strangle. Rooted in myth, this emotionally powerful magical realist mystery has an atmosphere so thick and richly drawn you'd swear you can taste the grit of dust on your tongue. Masterful."

Wake the Wild Creatures (2025)
Nova Ren Suma
"In Wake the Wild Creatures, Nova Ren Suma has created a secret and wondrous sanctuary for every girl who ever wished she could run away. A literary balm for these troubling times, this beautiful novel might make you want to wander the woods in search of the seven pine trees, and the magic and safety of the Neves."

His Face Is the Sun (2025)
(Throne of Khetara, book 1)
Michelle Jabès Corpora
"Beautifully written and a total page-turner."
