Her Daughter's Mother (2019)
Daniela Petrova
"This moving, heartfelt thriller surprised me again and again. Lana’s journey to becoming a mother is poignant and suspenseful, even without the added element of her egg donor’s disappearance. The turns of this story ratchet up the intrigue, making Her Daughter’s Mother one of the most gripping books I’ve read in years...A sure-footed, memorable debut."

A Walk in the Fire (2018)
(Judah Cannon, book 2)
Steph Post
"Steph Post writes with an intensity all her own. Greed, power, and desperation collide to make us ask, what choices do we make when it seems like none are left? Walk in the Fire captures backwoods Florida in all its grit and glory. This is a superbly original thriller - as sleek, wild, and dangerous as any rattlesnake."
