Deborah Falaye recommends
Immortal Dark (2024)
(Immortal Dark Trilogy, book 1)
Tigest Girma
"Girma's Immortal Dark crackles with razor-sharp tension as it draws you into the alluring and esoteric world of Black vampires and the morally ambiguous humans who are bound to them. Weaving magic and myth together in a story that's part fantasy, part dark-academia, Girma deftly explores questions of morality with nuanced writing, an immersive plot, and a beautifully-flawed heroine who embraces her own vulnerability and darkness in her journey towards truth and vengeance. A breathless, breathtaking debut that tempts as much as it haunts."
Sing Me to Sleep (2023)
(Sing Me to Sleep, book 1)
Gabi Burton
"Burton pens a darkly enchanting fantasy that brims with siren magic, political intrigue, and the most swoon-worthy romance that will, undoubtedly, leave you begging for the next book in the series. Perfect for readers who crave a compelling, high stakes plot from start to finish, sharp-witted characters you can't help but root for, and at its heart, a beautifully flawed, morally gray heroine willing to go to great lengths to save the people she loves. Sing Me To Sleep is as thrilling as it is seductive."
