“Yang’s (THE GENESIS OF MISERY) emotion-laden novella will be a hit with fans of dragons and slow-burn romantasy. Readers of Aliette de Bodard and the ‘Singing Hills Cycle‘ series by Nghi Vo will especially enjoy Yang’s prose.”–Library Journal, starred review
THE DEVILS BY JOE ABERCROMBIE | 9781250880055 | 5/13/25

THE LOVE HATERS BY KATHERINE CENTER | 9781250283825 | 5/20/25
“Striking a perfect balance of comedic moments and emotional authenticity, this may be Center’s best yet.”–Publishers Weekly
PARENTS WEEKEND BY ALEX FINLAY | 9781250360724 | 5/6/25
“Finlay writes in a conventional register, with red herrings galore, and he caps the proceedings with a particularly shocking conclusion. Fans of Mary Higgins Clark will enjoy themselves.”
–Publishers Weekly
HIDDEN NATURE BY NORA ROBERTS | 9781250370853 | 5/27/25
“Bestseller Roberts returns (after MIND GAMES) with a solid standalone about a wounded cop tracking a series of mysterious disappearances… For Roberts’s fans, this delivers the goods.”
–Publishers Weekly
