WHAT THE RIVER KNOWS: A SECRETS OF THE NILE NOVEL BY ISABEL IBAÑEZ
“The story will sweep readers away with its cinematic details, its touches of magic, and a dash of romance. Ibañez’s descriptions of the cities that Inez visits…are so charming that the cities become characters themselves. Romance, adventure, and lessons of hope are the heart of this duology opener from an author unafraid to immerse the reader into different worlds.”

PEOPLE TO FOLLOW BY OLIVIA WORLEY
“Mysteries unravel and secrets spill in this Gen Z thriller. The isolated setting of a private island contributes to the eerie mood, which is punctuated by dramatic reveals as the influencers fall from their pedestals… A chilling thriller that explores the consequences of getting #canceled.”
