Peng Shepherd, All this and more
(William Morrow)

“Shepherd’s imaginative latest work playfully draws on the nostalgia of the Choose Your Own Adventure series (“If Ren hadn’t broken up with Marsh last night: turn the page”). Whichever path readers take, they will find an engaging and well-crafted story. Reality TV fans in particular should take note.”
–Publishers Weekly

Sarah Gerard, Carrie Carolyn Coco
(Zando)

“(A) heartbreaking blend of memoir and true crime… a poignant portrait of a life ended too soon and a haunting examination of the cultural forces that shaped Bush’s assassination, including gender-based violence and a lack of attention to mental health issues on college campuses. It’s a devastating deep dive into a perplexing crime.”
–Publishers Weekly

Katherine Wood, Lady Killer
(Ballantine)

“A missing woman, a dark secret and a thrilling romance in the glamorous and decadent world of the super-rich – Ladykiller is a raunchy and hot thriller with completely unpredictable twists and turns right up to the stunning ending.”

Vi Keeland, The revealing
(Emily Bestler/Atria)

“(A) shocking debut thriller… Keeland lets the twists come suddenly, and few readers will be able to predict them.”

Lauren Kuhl, The art of pretense
