For Girls Who Walk through Fire (2023)
Kim DeRose
"Kim DeRose has written a book at once about revenge and identity and friendship and trauma and empowerment and WITCHCRAFT and all the richness of navigating your way through the muck of it all. It's easy to fall in love with Elliott and her 90's song references and throwback style as she leads the charge of teenage witches with rage and heart. DeRose's writing has teeth and all the gooey inner stuff. I sunk into this world and kept turning the pages in solidarity with their mission and with hope they would eventually find what they needed to start the healing journey. A testimony to the power of the storytelling by Kim DeRose."
Remember Me (2022)
Estelle Laure
"This book is flawless. It grabs you by your guts and swirls everything around. The romance. The mystery. The poetic language. The everything. Estelle Laure writes about love in a way that encapsulates everything you've ever felt but have never known how to say. And she doesn't hide from the hard bits either-the real and raw pain of existence. This is pure heart splattered on the page."
