DIVA by Daisy Goodwin | 9781250279927 | 1/23/24

“Brava! Historical-fiction enthusiasts, fans of La Callas, and others will relish this view into the tumultuous love affair of a power couple; they’ll offer a standing ovation when, in the novel’s ‘Final Curtain,’ the opera singer discovers her true voice.”— Library Journal, Starred Review

FAMILY FAMILY by Laurie Frankel | 9781250236807 | 1/23/24

“Highly recommended for fans of Frankel and those who enjoy literary fiction featuring witty dialogue and thought-provoking topics.”— Library Journal, Starred Review

THE HEIRESS by Rachel Hawkins | 9781250280039 | 1/9/24

“Hawkins does an excellent job keeping readers off-balance throughout. Nonstop twists and surprises make this a true thrill ride.” — Library Journal

THE FURY by Alex Michaelides | 9781250758989 | 1/16/24

“Michaelides again creates an almost tangible blend of tension, manipulation, and obsession. Even readers will fall prey to Michaelides’ craft, nudged into shifting, sympathetic allegiances to the damaged, unlikable characters in this pitch-perfect, classic crime set-up and modern psychological thriller.” — Booklist

MISLAID IN PARTS HALF-KNOWN by Seanan McGuire | 9781250848505 | 1/9/24

“The ninth book of the ‘Wayward Children’ series once again peels back the innocence and depths of desires and the need to belong somewhere. This delightful portal fantasy will stick in readers’ hearts.” — Library Journal

ONLY IF YOU’RE LUCKY by Stacy Willingham | 9781250887931 | 1/16/24

“Willingham’s prose remains evocative, and her deep dive into the thorny nature of female friendship rings true… A gripping ride.”— Publishers Weekly
