Blair Hurley recommends
Sweet Fury (2025)
Sash Bischoff
"?With her powerful, sensuous prose, Sash Bischoff electrifies in her stunning debut novel. The story sweeps us into the intoxicating world of movies and magic, seduction and betrayal, exploring how we construct our own histories, and how fragile our realities really are. Sweet Fury is the book you've been waiting to read, the one that will make you fall in love and keep you guessing right up until the final pages. The novel asks if we can ever truly know each other, and how love can destroy as much as it creates. Like a fist inside a velvet glove, Sweet Fury delivers a tender punch."
Florence Adler Swims Forever (2020)
Rachel Beanland
"Florence Adler Swims Forever is a tender, funny, frank look at how family and faith can frustrate us, sustain us, and keep us human.’"
The Drama Teacher (2018)
Koren Zailckas
"Koren Zailckas has written a riveting psychological thriller with a deeply sympathetic female con artist at its heart. Her protagonist knows how to work the systems of social class to her advantage in fascinating ways, but discovers a terrifying truth buried in her own past that could destroy the life she's built for herself. A darkly funny novel with surprises on every page, The Drama Teacher is an electrifying story of hidden identities and shattering family secrets."
