Samantha Sotto Yambao recommends

The Amberglow Candy Store (2025)
Hiyoko Kurisu
"A delightful confection you'll enjoy reaching for whenever a craving for magic, healing, and wonder strikes. But beware. Its Invisible Wasanbon, Surrogate Caramels, and Enlightening Candy Apples are addicting."

The Jinn Daughter (2024)
Rania Hanna
"Hanna seamlessly weaves compelling and complex characters into a lush tapestry of Middle Eastern folklore, creating a tragic, haunting world that is as dark as it is beautiful."
