A page-turning thriller with a social justice twist- I love it! Hana Westerman is an exciting new character to follow, with an intriguing story to tell us about New Zealand's Indigenous peoples not to mention as a female Detective Inspector in a nearly all-male force. I can't wait to read more. --Jamie F.

Welcome back to the hidden darkness of Yale's campus, and the magic that soaks its architecture and history. Though society leaders have declared Darlington dead and gone, Alex and Dawes know better - and they will go to any end to save him. Hell Bent is magical, resplendent with fierce characters, a devious and twisting plot, and at its core a deep interrogation of the cost of power and the lengths at which the privileged will go to maintain it. --Jordan
Ashley Herring Blake is back with another romance serving up my top two interests: queer drama and interior design. Providing characters with just enough complexity to keep us interested in more than just the smut, this story touches on anxiety, shame, and identity, wrapped in a cozy love story. Easy to escape into and read in a day. --R.C.
