Kelsey Cox recommends

The Season of Sinking (2026)
Daphne Woolsoncroft
"Eerie, tense, and utterly hypnotic. Woolsoncroft weaves a spine-tingling tale of sisterhood, obsession, and the courage it takes to face the truths lurking just beneath the surface."

Last Night Was Killer (2026)
Mary Pauline Lowry
"Outrageous, heartfelt, and wildly entertaining. Last Night Was Killer is a smart, funny mystery with a heroine you can't help but root for."

Valley of the Moms (2026)
Hannah Selinger
"Sleek, smart, and deliciously unnerving - Valley of the Moms peels back the glamorous veneer of privilege and perfection, exposing the dangerous illusion of having it all."
