What Kind of Paradise (2025)
Janelle Brown
"An intelligent and thoughtful page-turner that explores the blurry lines between right and wrong, truth and fiction, choice and fate . . . Janelle Brown methodically unravels my favorite kind of mystery - that of who we are and what we believe at our deepest core."
thumb
Tilt (2025)
Emma Pattee
"Every gorgeous page pulses with humor, heartbreak, and the horror of human behavior when the unthinkable happens. Emma Pattee has written a smashing debut that had me turning the pages well into the night"

All the Other Mothers Hate Me (2025)
Sarah Harman
"A biting, twisty, utter delight of a thriller with a refreshing and clever premise - what happens when the person who goes missing kind of deserved to go missing?"
