Cinderwich (2024)
Cherie Priest
"A mystery wrapped in Appalachian lore and family secrets, with so much heart. An Absolute must read."

The Surviving Sky (2023)
(Rages Trilogy, book 1)
Kritika H Rao
"In this brilliant, gorgeous debut, Kritika H. Rao's The Surviving Sky weaves a kaleidoscopic environmental plot with relationships that feel very real indeed. The combination is electric. I loved watching the main characters grow, evolve, and become unforgettable, each in their own right. This is a story unlike any I've read before, an epic adventure through fantastic landscapes and heartscapes."

Saturnalia (2022)
Stephanie Feldman
"Stephanie Feldman's Saturnalia achieves a lifetime in one night: The story is both a suspenseful thriller populated by magic and money, and a sharp look into the heart of young people coming of age in a slow apocalypse. Brilliant and fast paced, with enough beauty and hope to ease a troubled evening's passage."
