Taylor Grothe recommends

What Happened to Those Girls (2026)
Carlyn Greenwald
"Propulsive and tense, What Happened to Those Girls is a page-turning triumph. Greenwald deftly balances a queer coming-of-age narrative with a fraught murder mystery, exposing the sometimes horrifying and always intimate truth: close relationships have the capacity to flay us open while comforting us. I could not stop reading this twisted, dark tale."

The Monsters We Made (2026)
Peyton June
"As eerie and haunting as it is heartfelt, The Monsters We Made is a masterpiece. Equal parts queer, Midwestern Scooby-Doo and coming-of-age tale of autonomy, it's a reminder that the world still has mysteries to solve if we're only curious enough to look. Peyton June's sharp, vivid prose will have you flipping pages to uncover the secrets of small-town Scarberry. I savored every last page."

Honey in Her Veins (2026)
Ruth McKell
"As sweet as honey and as sharp as bone, Honey in Her Veins will leave you breathless. My heart blossomed with every page, even as I clutched my copy with whitened knuckles. Magical, lyrical, and deeply resonant - I savored every moment inside this story."
