Del Sandeen recommends
Our Sister's Keeper (2026)
Jasmine Holmes
"Our Sister's Keeper combines historical details with incredibly imaginative fiction, making for an unforgettable story centered on women who bear the burdens of others. But what happens when they tire of suffering traumas that aren't theirs, when it becomes clear that strength can be both a blessing and a curse? Set in the post-Reconstruction era South, Jasmine Holmes's debut novel is a fascinating tale of past and present colliding in the twistiest of ways. This is a story of sisterhood in the face of obstacles closing in from every corner, and a testament to the strength and power of women united."
Witch Queen Rising (2026)
Savannah Stephens
"Witch Queen Rising is a fantastical novel, perfect for readers who want to immerse themselves in the world of witches and their paranormal friends-and enemies. This debut, equal parts enthralling and frightening, sets you squarely in the magical city of New Orleans. Phine is the outcast protagonist whose compelling story is complicated by all manner of threats, betrayals, and lost love. I cannot wait for the second book of this duology and what's sure to be a spellbinding conclusion!"
Futility (2025)
Nuzo Onoh
"A dark and twisted tale permeated with African spirits and horror. Nuzo Onoh brings the vivid beauty of Nigerian folklore and culture to life, alongside chilling vengeance and justice rendered. This is one book I'll be thinking about for a very long time."
