By Migdalia Jimenez
"Dunmore delivers a novel that is delectably sexy and profoundly romantic at its core. It’s sure to delight fans of the series as well as new readers, thanks to Dunmore’s trademark mix of historical fiction, British feminist history, and steamy Victorian romance."

image The Italian | Featured Debut Review
By Sally Bissell

"Winner of the 2015 International Prize for Arabic Literature, this first novel by Tunisian university professor Mabkhout deftly illustrates how government repression and culture clashes have affected an entire generation of idealistic young people. In this accomplished translation, it can now be appreciated by a wider audience."
image The Finder of Forgotten Things | Featured Historical Fiction Review
By Christine Barth

"In a hardscrabble 1930s setting, complex characters wrestle with justice, mercy, inequality, honesty, and the fact that they are all prodigals still searching for the way home. Loudin Thomas delivers a stunning tale of one of the worst industrial disasters in U.S. history, underlined with a moral imperative to love one’s neighbor that still hits home today."
image The Ninja Betrayed | Featured Thriller Review
By Julie Ciccarelli

"Eldridge’s series just keeps getting better. While readers can enjoy this book without having read the first two, a series highlight is Lily’s evolution and the complexity and growth of her relationships. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy strong heroines forging their own paths, like Deanna Raybourn’s Victoria Speedwell, S.J. Rozan’s Lydia Chin, and Gigi Pandian’s Jaya Jones."
