Don't Say We Didn't Warn You (2022)
Ariel Delgado Dixon
"Terrifying and beautiful . . . an incredible debut . . . This evocative story of sisterhood, deception, and danger is written in incisive and brilliant prose. I could not put it down."
Damnation Spring (2021)
Ash Davidson
"The kind of novel I've been craving for ages - every page stirred my soul."
Aviary (2021)
Deirdre McNamer
"A riveting new novel by one of the great writers of our time, Aviary is a literary thriller that defies every expectation. Funny, tender, heartbreaking-a story of love and grief and mystery, of new beginnings found near the end of life. These pages stirred me deeply. This is a novel I’ve waited a long time for, and now that it’s here, I plan to read it again and again."
