The Night Guests (2025)
Marina Scott
"Ominous, mournful, and deliciously creepy, Scott masterfully unpacks themes of grief and loneliness in this slow-burn historical gothic novel, perfect for fans of Mexican gothic. You will find yourself looking over your shoulder long after you finish this book!"
