Erin Flanagan recommends

Return to Midnight (2024)
Emma Dues
"Big horror vibes, buckets of red herrings, and storylines that weave together in a satisfying series of twists to the very end. Dues captures the competitive complication of female friendships as well as the sting of first love, with a plot crazy enough to mirror the all-encompassing emotions of being in your twenties. This is the campus thriller I didn't know I was looking for but am so glad I found."

Hidden Rooms (2024)
Kate Michaelson
"Michaelson's witty eye, sharp portrayal of illness, and twisty case make for a standout debut!"

Morning in This Broken World (2023)
Katrina Kittle
"Morning in This Broken World is a heartening reminder that even early in the COVID-19 pandemic, joy found a way to persist. Without contrivance or sentimentality, Kittle gives us a cast of characters who fight to be their best selves against terrible odds - both personal and global - armed with humor, hope, and the strength of human connection. This novel is in some ways an apocalypse story and, like the best of them, a powerful reminder of what we have to live for."
