Ana María and the Fox by Liana De la Rosa

Pair this with a perfectly paced plot spiced with danger and plenty of smoldering sexual chemistry, and you have the brilliant beginning of the bewitching new Luna Sisters romances.” —Booklist, starred review

How I’ll Kill You by Ren DeStefano
“This deceptive thriller opens as a chilling, dispassionate chronicle of murderous triplets devoted to their chosen craft and each other, but it evolves into a twisted love story as layers of loneliness, self-sacrifice, and competing loyalties surface. Readers will find that this sneakily heart-wrenching story lingers with them after Sissy’s final words.”—Booklist, starred review
“When it comes to carefully concealed sociopathy, the fascinating protagonist in DeStefano’s adult debut gives Gone Girl’s Amy Elliott a run for her money. Combine this with a cleverly crafted plot that delivers ingenious twists, and you have a novel that will stun readers.” —Library Journal, starred review
“This devilishly clever textbook of malicious mayhem is a must for Dexter fans.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

“A superb debut . . . Winn stages excellent action scenes . . . but it is the men’s love for each other that resonates. This is a remarkable achievement.”

On the Savage Side by Tiffany McDaniel
“Narrated by the deceased Arc, McDaniel’s novel is by turns stark and poetic, a bleak and solemn elegy to lives that in another place and time might have been lived on the beautiful side. It’s also a tale of a nation unraveling, drowning in rivers of hopelessness and drug addiction.” —Library Journal, starred review
“Stunning… It’s a striking portrayal of women fighting for their lives, and one readers won’t soon forget.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

The Society of Shame by Jane Roper
“Roper’s latest is a hilarious romp through cancel culture, performative activism, and politics. She manages a fine balance between quippy humor and genuine emotion, and as Kat steps out of her husband’s shadow, the book becomes a woman’s journey of self-discovery and a mother-daughter story. Recommended for fans of Maria Semple and Laurie Gelman.” —Booklist, starred review
“A novel that takes back shame while packing a funny and poignant punch. . . . The humor gets its teeth from author Roper’s eye for just the right details. . . . Astutely written, with the perfect balance among humor, heartbreak, and understanding.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Take What You Need by Idra Novey
“Novey’s richly complex third novel shows not only a nuanced appreciation for the artistic process but also places such creativity within the toxic distrust sewn by poverty, misogyny, and xenophobia. In Jean, Novey has constructed a cantankerous character whose artistic passion, fierce independence, and fragile emotional state make her impossible to forget.” —Booklist, starred review
