If you enjoyed The Song of Achilles, then you’ll love She Who Became the Sun.

“Can you switch your fate with another’s? Can you seize the opportunity to become great when everything in the world is hell-bent on making you nothing? Zhu’s destiny was nothingness, a destiny that terrifies her. When her brother dies, she decides to take his destiny. Thus begins her journey through monasteries, cities, and wars. She encounters a Eunuch general who struggles with his identity and desire for revenge, a monk who bends the rules to survive, a woman whose strength is in her vulnerability, and a whole cast of amazing characters. This retelling of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty is exquisitely told. It has everything I love in a fantasy adventure: a trickster monk, a tortured warrior, fate, and lil’ bit of magic.”

The Golden Couple

“Just the story of Avery and her unorthodox methods as a therapist (actually now a consultant as she lost her license due to said unorthodox methods) would have been intriguing enough. Add in Marissa and Matthew (the Golden Couple) and all of their secrets and problems and the fact that Avery is being threatened by big pharma to disclose the name of her source because her anonymous tip to the FDA about a trial coverup wasn’t in fact so anonymous, and you have a very interesting and suspenseful novel that just seems to get more and more convoluted the more you listen. One of their best yet and I have loved all their previous 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
