Sycamore (2017)
Bryn Chancellor
"Bryn Chancellor's Sycamore instantly reminded me of Tana French's thrillers: a small, intertwined community, a long-ago crime, the tension and intrigue that won't stop rippling... Chancellor writes gorgeously, and her story is riveting and real. I love it."
Damnificados (2015)
JJ Amaworo Wilson
"Mythic, beautiful, wise, and strange, Damnificados yields pleasures on every page."
Follow Her Home (2013)
(Juniper Song Mystery, book 1)
Steph Cha
"In a glittery L.A. of pretty, privileged twentysomethings, Stephanie Cha's Follow Her Home opens like a playful homage to Raymond Chandler but deepens into something darker: an utterly 21st-century ode to sisterhood in the face of crime. A fast-paced thriller told in smart, sparkling prose, Follow Her Home is a moving exploration of mothers and daughters, men and women, immigrant history, loss, and hope."
