Echoes of Us (2024)
Joy Jordan-Lake
"Echoes of Us is a deftly woven, heart-tugging tale of courage, bittersweet love, and resilience, set amid the turbulence of world war. Joy Jordan-Lake's remarkable cast of characters will captivate you with their intertwined pasts and hold you in thrall until the poignant, extraordinary end. A moving paean to bravery, empathy, and forgiveness."
The Witch's Secret (2024)
Stacie Murphy
"A perfect blend of suspenseful historical fiction and dark magic set on the wild Colorado frontier, The Witch's Secret held me in thrall from beginning to end. With grit and a backbone made of steel, Murphy's captivating heroine faces down threats both corporeal and supernatural in this gripping story edged with hair-raising moments of true gothic horror - and a touch of wry wit. Clever, frightening, and masterfully plotted."
In the Hour of Crows (2024)
Dana Elmendorf
"In the Hour of Crows has everything I love in a good southern gothic--family drama, earthy magic married with religion, and a sense of coiling, visceral dread. Elmendorf's small Georgia town is both stifling and sensual, filled with characters so realistic you'll swear you've met them before. Enchanting, gritty, and impossible to put down."
