I swooned, I cried, I clutched the book so closely to my chest. Wrapped within the gorgeous romance is also the most beautiful characterization for Elle, and I adore her so much.

A chilling, dystopic world enclosed in a locked-room mystery. The House of Quiet thrums with enthralling voice, crescendoing toward what awaits at its core. Kiersten White’s prowess for atmosphere is something to behold.

A book that whets your appetite before devouring you whole. Girl Dinner is cunning, charged, and just as you’re comfortable—a profound shock. Perfect for the era we live in.

Darkly, heinously romantic—which is to say: beautifully, tenderly horrific. In classic Zoe Hana Mikuta fashion, the prose is potent and the atmosphere inimitable. The Coven Tendency is a force of dread and rapture alike.

Gory, grisly, and profoundly beautiful. If We Survive This carves the apocalypse wide open to bare its human innards, inspecting love and grief as inseparable forces. Racquel Marie’s entry into horror is a paragon of the genre.
