She Who Became the Sun

“Zhu’s tooth-and-nail fight for her destiny merges hero and antihero into a transcendent figure with an incomparably strong will. She Who Became the Sun carves out a bold and bloody new genre of epic fantasy.”

Jessie Prutisto-Chang, Third Place Books

The Golden Couple

“Definitely my favorite from this duo! What set this book apart from many other domestic thrillers is the fact that I sincerely felt endeared to its characters. I wanted almost everyone to be happy and safe by the book's end, even if the characters were at odds with each other at times. I also appreciated how the authors added emotional depth to the juicy mystery with themes of trauma and healing.”

The Haunting of Hill House

“The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson is THE book to read if you want to feel like you're losing it bit by bit with every page you turn. Eleanor is a fantastically unreliable narrator and I loved how Hill House served as both the villain and the love interest.”

Emma, Quail Ridge Books

The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea

“'She was not a creature of courage, but she was one of spite.' This book is exactly my niche- queer fairy-tales, trans pirates, bloodsucking mermaids, a sentient sea, and a delightfully mean witch. I can't shut up about it!!!”

Miriasha, Phoenix Books

The Dragonet Prophecy (Wings of Fire #1)

“I am obsessed with this book! To say that only twelve-year old Kvothe would have died for this book does a disservice to the fact that twenty-five-year old Kvothe is currently flipping out for a bunch of dragons. Every twist and turn had me that much closer to throwing my phone -- thanks to the audiobook and the indubitably talented narrator Shannon McManus. If there was a way for me to physically inject the Wings of Fire series fully into my veins, I would.”

Kvothe, Rediscovered Books
