Amparo Ortiz recommends
A Rather Vengeful Accord (2025)
(Rather Vengeful Accord, book 1)
Danielle Knight
"With risen corpses, nerve-wracking duels, and rivals who can't hide their heart eyes, Danielle Knight's A Rather Vengeful Accord is dark academia for the goth soul. An intricate, agonizingly-tense tale that will set the most curious minds on fire."
They Thought They Buried Us (2024)
NoNieqa Ramos
"Being a horror fan is better when you're not the main character, but for Yuiza, it's their only way out of a living nightmare. With a tightly-plotted mystery and snark that sings to a misfit's heart, Nonieqa Ramos's They Thought They Buried Us uncovers what happens when the ones rewriting history run out of ink."
When Ghosts Call Us Home (2023)
Katya de Becerra
"Katya de Becerra's WHEN GHOSTS CALL US HOME will linger in readers' minds just like the delightfully layered mythology surrounding Cashore House lingers in our heroine's nightmares. Becerra's rich storytelling forces you to do a double take, wondering whether you imagined what Sophia endures, the intricate fan theories that may or may not be offering clues, and what she'll face next in the search for her older sister."
