Stone Angels (2025) Helena Rho "At turns lyrical and raw, Stone Angels is a haunting novel that will stay with the reader long past the final page, perfect for fans of Min Jin Lee's Pachinko or Jing-Jing Lee's How We Disappeared."
The Moonlight Healers (2025) Elizabeth Becker "The Moonlight Healers is a page-turning family drama with elements of historical fiction and magical realism plus a generous dash of romance. Weaving two storylines that span one family, Becker masterfully transports the reader to war-torn France and modern-day Crozet, an idyllic small town nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I savored every word."
White Mulberry (2024) Rosa Kwon Easton "Easton weaves an unforgettable tale of resistance, resilience, and redemption...I can't remember the last time I was so captivated by a debut work."
Last Liar Standing (2022) Danielle M Wong "The average person has thirteen secrets right now . . . atwisty tale of love, loss, friendship, deception, and far more secrets than your average person possesses."
Strangers We Know (2022) Elle Marr "Elle Marr burst onto the suspense scene in 2020 with her bestselling debut, The Missing Sister, and followed up a year later with Lies We Bury, another trust-no-one murder mystery. With her third novel, Strangers We Know, Marr firmly establishes herself as a master of 'did that really just happen?' thrillers. Strangers We Know has plot twists so unexpected and characters so creepy you won't want to turn out the lights, and the ending is surprising in multiple ways. Who knew a deranged-serial-killer whodunit could leave you with all the feels?"
Truth and Other Lies (2022) Maggie Smith "Truth and Other Lies promises three women, two secrets, and one lie and boy does it deliver. Smith deftly weaves serious social issues such as abortion, sexual harassment, and toxic social media with the more typical women's fiction themes of female friendship, mother-daughter conflict, and romantic relationships, resulting in a taut and timely story."
