When the Wolf Comes Home (2025)
Nat Cassidy
"Pulse-pounding and heart-wrenching, Nat Cassidy has given us a new breed of terror. This is not your granny's big bad wolf."
thumb
Senseless (2025)
Ronald Malfi
"A layered ride of jaw-dropping twists. With Senseless, Malfi once again leaves his reader off-kilter, unnerved, and begging for more."

So Witches We Became (2024)
Jill Baguchinsky
"Profound and powerful... Essential reading for every young witch coming into her power."
