J R Dawson recommends
When Among Crows (2024)
Veronica Roth
"Roth's Chicago is one of outcasts, immigrants, secrets, family, and above all, hope. Only an author who knew the soul of the city could write this book."
Someone You Can Build a Nest In (2024)
John Wiswell
"A beautiful monster story with a heart, Wiswell treats his outcasts as heroes. He is an author the world desperately needs."
Bookshops & Bonedust (2023)
(Legends & Lattes, book 2)
Travis Baldree
"Bookshops & Bonedust takes the world of Legends & Lattes and weaves it into a universe. It does the impossible: showing us a character twenty years before her story, and making us hold our breath to see what happens next. It's the rare prequel that beautifully adds depth, power, and love to the lore. This is a book for those who were once young and pulled between fighting the world with all they had . . . or curling up in a dusty bookshop with a good story."
