Charlaine Harris recommends

An Inheritance of Magic (2023)
(Inheritance of Magic, book 1)
Benedict Jacka
"Benedict Jacka gives us a flawed protagonist but ensures we are always on his side. Stephen Oakwood has many strikes against him: absent father and mother, financial woes, dead-end jobs. But he perseveres in the face of danger and death, and he loves his cat. It's more than enough. Benedict Jacka is one of my must-reads."

The Taken Ones (2023)
(Steinbeck and Reed, book 1)
Jess Lourey
"The Taken Ones has Jess Lourey's trademark of suspense all the way. A damaged and brave heroine, an equally damaged evildoer, and missing girls from long ago all combine to keep the reader rushing through to the explosive ending."

The Strange (2023)
Nathan Ballingrud
"The Strange is an adventure tale of the best kind: an unusual setting with vivid characters and an unpredictable ending. With every turn of the page, I wondered what would happen next."

The Curator (2023)
Owen King
"Owen King's The Curator is a rich read. Language, characters, and a fascinating world combine to create an intensely satisfying experience."

Harmony of Fire (2022)
(Alice & Owen, book 1)
Brian Feehan
"Complex world-building, interesting characters, and lots of action blend together to make Brian Feehan's debut novel a real treat."
