“The author of a NY Times Best Crime Novel of the Year put together a phenomenal collection of crime stories from mystery to thriller and beyond. It’s both a great read for anyone curious about crime fiction and any fans looking for new authors to try.”

“I highly recommend this film based on the true story of ordinary people who courageously stood against evil. It reminds us that even when the cost is great, what we do matters.”

Return to the Hiding Place

Josiah Spencer

“Vibe: if the Gilmore Girls were witches! Sera Swan used to be one of the most powerful witches around, until she used up her power to resurrect her aunt Jasmine. Will she ever get her power back? Does the talking fox know to help her? This is a lovely, gentle, witchy read with a touch of romance.”

“Part memoir and part love letter to nature, the author takes you through personal reflections, joyous encounters with nature, riveting tales of historical research, and allows the reader a chance to see the queerness of nature through the eyes of an expert mycologist. “

“Witches, a sassy cat, and dating apps…what a combo! A delightful, cozy read.”

An Ancient Witch's Guide to Modern Dating

“This series is addictive! It is action packed, full of humor and sneaky social commentary and the audiobook is top notch. My advice is to take breaks and read other things in between books otherwise you will fall into the series and then be anxiously waiting for a new book to be released, but let’s be honest is the best problem to have! P.S. Don’t sleep on the physical books as there is an epilogue that only exits in the books!”

“A weekend read with a premise you can’t resist: after being killed by poachers, the world’s leading elephant expert has her mind preserved—only to awaken decades later in a cloned woolly mammoth. Now the only one who understands elephant culture, she must help her herd survive. A gripping eco–sci-fi novella packed with big ideas in just 100 pages.”

The Tusks of Extinction

Ray Nayler

“When personal assistant Taylor Frost arrives at his boss’s fairy tale–themed resort to plan her daughter’s sweet sixteen, he doesn’t expect to meet his own Prince Charming. There’s just one problem: Ethan Golding is his boss’s ex-husband—and the birthday girl’s father. Can Taylor balance duty and desire long enough to find his happily ever after?”
