"Singh’s ‘Guild Hunter’ and ‘Psy-Changeling’ series are required purchases for any collection offering paranormal romance, and this latest entry continues to set the bar high with romance, intrigue, and stellar worldbuilding." In nonfiction, Sesqui! Greed, Graft, and the Forgotten World’s Fair of 1926, by Thomas H. Keels, is "most relevant to those interested in the history of Philadelphia, 1920s culture, and the world’s fair but limited beyond that." Kristen Radtke's Imagine Wanting Only This is one of three starred graphic novels this week. "A fantastic example of the graphic novel’s possibilities as a literary medium, this work is visually imperfect, lyrically beautiful, and unquestionably brave." And Daughters of a Nation: A Black Suffragette Historical Romance Anthology, by Kianna Alexander and others, is one of two starred e-originals this week. "All four stories are exceptional in describing the time period. The plots are compelling, as are the romances. For all romance and historical fiction collections."
