Deirdre Sullivan recommends

The Undetectables (2023)
(Undetectables, book 1)
Courtney Smyth
"Unputdownable. Grim and caring, twisted and witty, The Undetectables is gripping and charming in equal measure. You won't want to leave Wrackton, while also being really glad you don't live there."

Burn the Negative (2023)
Josh Winning
"I was gripped and chilled by Burn the Negative. There was the impulse to binge just one more chapter before closing the covers, combined with layered characterization, sensitivity, and Winning's respect for and love of pop-culture and what it gives, and takes away."

Her Dark Wings (2022)
Melinda Salisbury
"A skilled contemporary reimagining full of friendship and fury."
