SAVOR IT BY TARAH DEWITT | 9781250329424 | 5/21/24

“DeWitt’s sprightly narrative is by turns funny and red-hot, as Sage and Fisher, who share a love of puns, develop some serious chemistry. Readers will also be delighted by Sage’s menagerie of lovable animals, particularly Gary the goose, who bonds with Indy. This is a charmer.”–Publishers Weekly

WHEN AMONG CROWS BY VERONICA ROTH | 9781250855480 | 5/14/24

“Roth packs a tremendous amount of world building, character development, and action into this novella inspired by Polish folklore. Thorny family dynamics, difficult alliances, Christian imperialism, plenty of fighting, and a hint of romance keep the plot moving at breakneck speed to a denouement readers will certainly hope is not the last they hear from these characters.”–Booklist, starred review

CAN’T SPELL TREASON WITHOUT TEA BY REBECCA THORNE | 9781250333292 | 5/7/24

“For all the tension and danger present in the narrative, the book does ultimately hold true to its promise of ‘a cozy fantasy steeped with love.’ Far more of the book’s focus is on the growing trust between a couple living together for the first time and how Reyna and Kianthe contribute to and benefit from their new community, the rural town of Tawney.”–Booklist

SUMMERS AT THE SAINT BY MARY KAY ANDREWS | 9781250278388 | 5/7/24

“Andrews’s expert exploration of complex family dynamics, hidden secrets, and class divisions in a small resort town add authenticity to the gripping mystery and swoony romance. Series fans and newcomers alike will be riveted.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review

IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME BY ALEX FINLAY | 9781250863799 | 5/28/24

“As in Finlay’s previous novels, relentless pacing, impressive characterizations, and the author’s knack for surprise combine to produce top-shelf entertainment. This is a smart, unpredictable winner.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review

MIND GAMES BY NORA ROBERTS | 9781250289698 | 5/21/24

“Roberts’ latest may move you to tears, or joy, or dread, or all three… A touching story of love and grief ends in an epic battle of good versus evil.”–Kirkus Reviews, starred review
