Amanda Peters recommends
The Sirens (2025)
Emilia Hart
"Emilia Hart takes the reader on a mythical journey through time, evoking ancient tales of the sea and female bonds that are tested but never broken. The Sirens surprises and delights and allows us as readers to imagine a world where myth and reality collide. A beautiful and propulsive story full of love and intrigue. A remarkable read!"
Pearly Everlasting (2024)
Tammy Armstrong
"An unforgettable tale of unconditional love and the powerful bond of siblings. A remarkable story, sparkling with brilliance."
The Circle (2023)
Katherena Vermette
"A perfect companion to The Break and The Strangers, Katherena Vermette's The Circle draws us back into the lives of characters who we've come to know so intimately that their heartache is our heartache. With each new perspective as distinct and vivid as the last, The Circle acts as an unsettling reminder that the systems designed to help the most vulnerable too often end up betraying them. This is a stellar finale with an ending that will leave you both heartbroken and hopeful."
