Paper Cut (2026)
Rachel Taff
"An electric debut that peels back the glossy surface of fame to expose the wounds beneath. Paper Cut is both a pulse-racing thriller and a searing meditation on who owns the truth of a story. It's an intricately woven novel that's part psychological suspense and part emotional gut-punch. I'm jealous of everyone who gets to read this unflinching debut for the first time."
Tell Them You Lied (2025)
Laura Leffler
"Tell Them You Lied is a toxic love letter to art and artist, rethinking centuries of women claimed as muses, used as objects until they're hollow, and then shamelessly tossed aside."
The Body Next Door (2024)
Maia Chance
"The Body Next Door is packed with twists, lies, and secrets tied together with an unexpected surrealist element that creates a truly unique thriller unlike anything I've read before. With multiple rich POVs spanning Washington's elite to a survivalist cult, Chance's characters will keep you guessing until the very last chapter."
