The Devils (2025)
(Devils , book 1)
Joe Abercrombie
"The Devils is just an incredibly fun, incredibly action-packed and, by the end, incredibly affecting book. It slammed the living shit out of me."
thumb
Now, Conjurers (2024)
(Now, Conjurers, book 1)
Freddie Kolsch
"This book is CHARM ITSELF. It's a high-octane high-camp horror funfair that is so smart and so edgy and funny and heartfelt and loving that I think teens who love it now will still pull it off the shelf when they are 40. Now, Conjurers is an evening with a movie from Blockbuster that's rated slightly too high for you to have legally rented it and the biggest, trashiest bag of popcorn, staying up until 3 AM with your friends and then having really savage nightmares afterwards for a week."

Exordia (2024)
Seth Dickinson
"Magnificent. . . . A science fiction action juggernaut."
