Del Sandeen recommends
There Used to Be People Here (2026)
Kennedy Cole
"Dark and tense from the first page, There Used to Be People Here is a fast-paced ride that's brimming with atmosphere. Small-town vibes and otherworldly weirdness create layers of unease. Add a main character who faces one conflict after another, and the result is this highly memorable sci-fi horror story. Kennedy Cole's thrilling debut kept me guessing until the very end."
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!"
