All the Noise at Once (2025)
DeAndra Davis
"In this winning debut, Davis tackles brotherhood, forgiveness, and unbreakable bonds with propulsive tension. Aiden is an unforgettable narrator whose sharp insight and wit will have readers rooting for him on and off the football field."

Honeysuckle and Bone (2025)
(Honeysuckle and Bone, book 1)
Trisha Tobias
"Honeysuckle and Bone is a deliciously uncomfortable journey into a suffocating world of wealth and secrets. Tobias's talented storytelling will demand your attention as she explores not only our fear of ghosts, but the fear of being witnessed for who we really are. It's one thing to admire an extravagant exterior-it's another to venture into dark corners and find what's lurking in the shadows. Carina is a messy, vulnerable narrator and I loved her, shadows and all."

Don't Let It Break Your Heart (2024)
Maggie Horne
"An unflinchingly honest story about queerness and community, infused with so much heart and humor. Readers will be drawn to Alana's exploration of comfort zones - and how beautiful it can be to outgrow them."
