We Don't Talk About Carol (2025)
Kristen L Berry
"A riveting page-turner by a powerful new voice. I couldn't put it down."

The New Couple in 5B (2024)
Lisa Unger
"The tension just keeps building in Unger's latest dark and twisty delight. Come for the gonzo plot, but stay to be haunted by a history-soaked old New York apartment building that feels more like a sinister character than a setting, and for bright, ambitious, clear-eyed Rosie, whose voice stuck with me long after I turned the final page. I loved it, and you will, too."

Where You End (2024)
Abbott Kahler
"A genuinely startling tale of love and revenge, Where You End's ingenious structure and breakneck pace had me feverishly turning pages. But it's Abbott Kahler's sharp-witted and intrepid heroines, portrayed with such depth and compassion, who elevate this haunting inquiry into the indelible power of memory. Heads up, Indies: this fiction debut is a handselling book lover's dream."
