Kathleen Kaufman recommends

Bright and Broken Things (2026)
Ryan Graudin
"Ryan Graudin's Bright and Broken Things delivers the high-stakes tension of a thriller wrapped in the rich, atmospheric silk of historical fiction. Engrossing and cinematic, this is a must read."

Entwined (2026)
(Entwined Duology, book 1)
H M Long
"Ottilie's search for salvation becomes a battle between safety, love, and the dangerous truth of who she truly is. Perfect for readers of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros, this spellbinding romantic fantasy brims with rebellion, sisterhood, and the perilous cost of freedom."

A Black and Endless Sky (2022)
Matthew Lyons
"A gripping read filled with tension and terror, the pacing is metered with otherworldly horrors and atmospheric haunts well acquainted with the unique isolation of the desert. A creepy and unsettling tale that gets under your skin and stays there."
