Twelfth Knight (2024)
Alexene Farol Follmuth
"What a joy this book was, found myself literally kicking my feet and screaming. Twelfth Knight is a firecracker of a novel, taking a well-beloved Shakespearean classic, gutting out its heart, and forming a fresh, compulsively readable story that is reminiscent of the best of the 90's movie teen cult classics. With charming nods to Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and a captivating heroine who always stands her ground, Alexene Farol Follmuth has composed an irresistible and heartwarming novel."
A Crane Among Wolves (2024)
June Hur
"Hur is known for her stunning female-centered historical YA novels, and this is arguably her darkest book yet. ... If slow-burn romances, well-paced plots and historical fiction set somewhere other than the West interest you, this book might just be your new favorite read."
Their Vicious Games (2023)
Joelle Wellington
"Wellington pens a brutally honest and haunting cautionary tale of what it means to survive in a world that wasn't built for you, exposing the lie that is meritocracy and the unrelenting toll that being a final girl takes. A bloody tale spun masterfully, Their Vicious Games is a dark delight."
