Tessa Gratton recommends

The Raven Scholar (2025)
(Eternal Path Trilogy, book 1)
Antonia Hodgson
"With an intricate plot and obsession-worthy characters, The Raven Scholar subverts tropes to create a thrilling, fun, and shocking mystery."

A Taste of Gold and Iron (2022)
(Taste of Gold and Iron, book 1)
Alexandra Rowland
"A Taste of Gold and Iron is a slow-burn romance flush with sexy, complicated relationships, founded on the ethics of duty and love. As indulgent and satisfying as your favourite fan fiction."

Kiss & Tell (2022)
Adib Khorram
"For queer readers of every age who've been made to feel like nothing but a dirty word, Kiss & Tell is a brilliant takedown of exploitations of queerness and the policing of teens, filled with heartache, hilarity, friends-for-life, and stadium-sized queer joy."
