My Mother Cursed My Name (2024)
Anamely Salgado Reyes
"My Mother Cursed My Name is a riveting and powerful story told by an incredibly important new voice. From the moment I read the first sentence, I couldn't put it down. At once moving and enthralling, the story examines generational trauma and healing through vividly alive characters making hard choices. Salgado Reyes pulls her readers through this key moment in her characters' lives with perfectly woven, rich prose. I've already told everyone I know to buy this book! This book is not just about magic - this book is magic."
Before We Were Innocent (2023)
Ella Berman
"The past refuses to stay dead in this stunning story of friendship, memory, and guilt from master storyteller Ella Berman - It brilliantly illustrates the vulnerability and cruelty of teenage girls - and how the judgments placed on them create the perfect environment for both to flourish. It brought me right back to my teenage years and cracked my heart open. A profound exploration of loyalty and betrayal, Before We Were Innocent is a perfect book."
The Cloisters (2022)
Katy Hays
"A tour de force by an important new voice, The Cloisters begins as a fish-out-of-water story. But as Katy Hays deftly weaves in layer after layer of the occult, art, and academia, it turns into a rich tapestry that speaks to issues of privilege, power, and ambition--and, more than anything, the darkness lurking just inside ivory towers. Virtuosic and incredibly compelling, The Cloisters grabbed me in a way that no book has done since The Secret History."
