The Book Swap (2024)
Tessa Bickers
"Moving and romantic. Tessa Bickers writes with a fresh and warm-hearted voice, and what a romantic concept!"
The Bell Witches (2024)
(Savannah Red, book 1)
Lindsey Kelk
"I will read anything Lindsey Kelk writes, and I loved The Bell Witches! It's the perfect mix of angst, mystique, and romance, and all set in the type of place you wish you lived in during Halloween. The perfect fantasy to just dive and escape into."
The Wake-Up Call (2023)
Beth O'Leary
"Oh my goodness, I have not enjoyed a book like The Wake-Up Call in a long time! I could not stop reading, and when I wasn't reading it, I couldn't stop thinking about it! It was like having a crush! Equal parts heart-warming, touching, sharp, and sexy, Beth O'Leary just gets better and better."
