Furious (2024)
Jamie Pacton and Rebecca Podos
"When it's not snort-out-loud funny, it's I'm-not-crying-you're-crying poignant, and El and Jojo are both fully realized characters from the beginning--complex, and completely loveable. And the kissing scenes . . . look, just read it. Thank me later."
Winter, White and Wicked (2020)
(Winter, White and Wicked, book 1)
Shannon Dittemore
"A rare mix of equal parts lushly mysterious world-building and heart-pounding action. It will give you all the feels."
What the Woods Keep (2018)
Katya de Becerra
"This book was so. damn. good. Lush and creepy, with a totally unique yet totally relatable heroine. I LOVED the way this book pinned logic and science against fantasy and primal fear--and managed to find the common ground between them in a deeply incisive way. A fast, frantic, fascinating read. Very highly recommended for anyone interested in mythology, psychology, or just some good scares."
