If you are a sci-fi, fantasy, or horror reader, June was your lucky month! We adventured with a time-traveling ring master, a woman taking on a murderous persona, a young girl hiding her thirst for blood, and a land laid waste by failed AI.
MAEVE FLY BY CJ LEEDE
An Indie Next pick!
“This is the story of a ruthless antihero who becomes unhinged when her reality turns upside down and slips right through her fingers. Horror fans who enjoy villain-origin stories, social commentary, terrifying female characters, and unreliable narrators will devour each deliciously morbid and shocking page.”–Booklist, starred review
THE FIRST BRIGHT THING BY J.R. DAWSON
“Dawson’s debut is haunting, employing themes of gaslighting, trauma, and war, which are woven through dual points of view and multiple timelines. Judaism plays a role as well, both in the faith of the characters and through parallels of persecution.”–Library Journal, starred review
NIGHT’S EDGE BY LIZ KERIN
“Izzy’s moments of love for her daughter are beautifully juxtaposed with behavior that terrifies Mia, particularly as both mother and daughter start keeping secrets from one another. Devising an emotional trap forged with equal parts love and fear, Kerin finely plays with readers’ expectations. This vampire story…will sink its teeth into readers’ hearts.”–Library Journal, starred review
THE ARCHIVE UNDYING: A DOWNWORLD SEQUENCE NOVEL BY EMMA MIEKO CANDON
“The unfolding of a complex web of relationships, Sunai and Veyadi’s romance, and the consequences of their relationships with now-destroyed AI form a satisfyingly solid foundation for a revenge quest among giant mecha and lively cities that settles into an interesting new balance of power.”–Booklist
