The Thirteenth Husband (2024) Greer Macallister "An evocative and sprawling tale, The Thirteenth Husband is resplendent with extravagance, magic, and yearning. Macallister elegantly captures the essence of a spectacular and complicated woman living life to the very fullest, and Aimee Crocker is a flawed heroine to be celebrated."
The Last Light Over Oslo (2024) Alix Rickloff "Compelling and fresh, Rickloff pulls you into the complicated lives of Cleo and Daisy, two women who don't know the meaning of the word "No", their determination and loyalty at once admirable and dangerous. A thrilling read from beginning to end."
A Quantum Love Story (2024) Mike Chen "Sweeping, heartfelt, and harrowing. As always, Chen enthralls by combining pulse-racing stakes with charming characters."
The Way Life Should Be (2023) William Dameron "A raw and intimate look at the intricacies of a blended family, all under one too-small roof in a seaside Maine town. Dameron pulls you into this story of complicated family dynamics, where relationship bonds are tried, tested, and strengthened across three generations. A tale woven carefully and hilariously, with dad jokes, kindness, acceptance, and love. Come for the clever quips; stay for the honest portrayal of what it is to be human."
The Dutch Orphan (2023) Ellen Keith "Keith weaves an intricate tale of survival as two sister's loyalties to spouse, country, and each other are tested when Nazis invade and the lives of those they love are put at risk. A compelling and heart-pounding read."
Stringers (2022) Chris Panatier "Wholly original. Ridiculously brilliant. Panatier's Stringers is filled with genuine characters, mind-boggling humor, and the raw and hysterical emotions of beings plucked from obscurity, sold to the highest bidders, and used to serve Universe altering purposes. Panatier's unconventional storytelling, combined with poetic sentences and a plethora of bug facts you never knew you needed, will keep you entertained until the very end. I can't recommend enough."
The Way from Here (2022) Jane Cockram "The Way From Here is a beautiful tale of three women untangling a careful web of lies to uncover long lost truths. And as they heal the wounds they've inflicted on one another, they find a way to come together - even from beyond the grave. Riveting from beginning to end, Cockram is a master at weaving a story filled with love and loss, mystery, and bittersweet triumph."
Radar Girls (2021) Sara Ackerman "Once again Ackerman delivers a powerful story about a little-known piece of women's history with compassion and an unforgettable cast of characters. Daisy is a heroine to cheer for as she gives all she has for her country, the man she loves and, most importantly, herself."
Lucky Girl (2021) Jamie Pacton "Lucky Girl is for every person who has ever felt unable to help those they love, stuck and yearning for a better life, and unwilling to give up on themself - or others."
Atomic Love (2020) Jennie Fields "Full of intrigue and good old fashioned espionage, Fields has created a flawed and ferocious heroine in the intelligent Rosalind Porter. A captivating must-read with a cast of crafty characters so engaging I was sad to see it come to its glorious end."
The Black Swan of Paris (2020) Karen Robards "Beautifully written and completely absorbing. Genevieve is a broken but determined heroine in disguise, fooling the terrifying enemies surrounding her as she is immersed in the ugly belly of the Nazi occupation. Tension, secrets, and loyalty drive this gorgeous book until the very last page and I was transfixed by each riveting moment."
