The Father She Went to Find (2024)
Carter Wilson
"The Father She Went to Find is a blast! I loved Penny Bly, the genius who can remember every line of every book she's ever read and the details of each meal she's ever had. Not to mention, she has an amazing talent for creating portraits that reveal the inner nature of the person being drawn. Her journey across the country to find her missing father kept me reading throughout the night. A thriller with heart, amazing characters, and plot twists I didn't see coming. A true page-turner, this book is a winner from one of our best crime novelists. I can't recommend this great book enough!"

Blood Sisters (2023)
Vanessa Lillie
"Combines pulse-pounding action with Cherokee myth and customs. I loved Syd Walker, a compelling new character who's dealing with her own disturbing family history while trying to unravel the disappearance of several Native women. I hope we'll see more of Syd Walker soon!"

Redemption (2023)
(Eva 'Lightning Dance' Duran, book 1)
Deborah J Ledford
"Redemption is a page-turner! I loved reading about sheriff's deputy Eva Duran and her battle against dark forces on the reservation. Sharp characters, a great setting, and a plot that keeps you guessing. A riveting thriller that hits hard and keeps you hooked."
