image Hana Khan Carries On | Featured Romance Review
By LJ Reviews
"Hana is a relatable, flawed narrator, and the other characters are complex, nuanced, and well-developed. The story is intricately plotted, with dramatic, often heartwrenching scenes that build to a satisfying, realistic conclusion. Readers won’t be able to put this Own Voices Muslim romance down. Highly recommended for most public library collections."
image People of Abandoned Character | Featured Mystery Review
By LJ Reviews
"This debut historical mystery contains echoes of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca and Jack the Ripper. The unreliable narration combines with richly detailed writing in a mystery with a shocking conclusion."
