A Spell to Wake the Dead (2025)
Nicole Lesperance
"A Spell to Wake the Dead hooked me right away and kept me up late into the night. When dead women start washing ashore in Cape Cod, best friends and budding witches Mazzy and Nora feel an inexplicable pull to the case. I love the creepy seaside setting, the murderous magical cult, the atmospheric writing that darkens from an overcast sky into a powerful storm, and above all, the unbreakable bond between Mazzy and Nora that is the throbbing heart of this twisty story."

Pangu's Shadow (2024)
Karen Bao
"Since Dove Arising, I have been waiting with bated breath for Bao's next SF- and Pangu's Shadow totally delivers!"

Rubi Ramos's Recipe for Success (2023)
Jessica Parra
"By the last words of the first page - 'hazelnut conchas' - I was hooked (& hungry)! As someone who grew up in an immigrant household & dreamt of being a novelist, I related too well to Rubi's struggle between pursuing her passion for baking & making her Cuban parents proud. My heart rooted for Rubi as she rose to each challenge-college admissions, falling in love, baking & debate contests, & of course, sharing her true self with her parents."
