Joelle Wellington recommends
We're All Going to Die Tonight! (2026)
Veronica Bane
"In a world of noise, Bane's We're All Going to Die Tonight! cuts through with thrilling precision by way of a chorus of voices and a campy cast of characters that scream their fiendish delight and leave us on the absolute edge of our seats."
The Meadowbrook Murders (2025)
Jessica Goodman
"Smart and twisty. As much about a devastating murder as it is about friendship, secrets, and loyalty, with a searing reveal that feels both clever and inevitable in the best way."
Honeysuckle and Bone (2025)
(Honeysuckle and Bone, book 1)
Trisha Tobias
"Rich and haunting, Honeysuckle and Bone is an eerie ghost story that delves deep into an exploration of identity and class. Tobias's masterful handling of a teenage girl's exploration of grief and her homeland shapes a propulsive narrative that you won't want to put down."
