What We're Looking For
Upmarket Genre & Book Club Fiction
Comps
Books we love & why we love them.
The Change by Kirsten Miller
Powers with a purpose.
The Unmaking of June Farrow by Adrienne Young
Young does a fantastic job of genre-blending. There are elements of mystery, romance, fantasy, generational family issues, and a connection to the land. The prose is visceral and breathtaking.
The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E. Schwab
Magic with a cost. Beautiful, poetic prose. Part romance, part historical fiction, part fantasy.
Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy
The perfect unfolding of the mystery alongside the personal tragedies and the land.
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
Fantasy at its finest.
The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig
High fantasy at its finest.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
We could really pick any of TJR's books. The writing style is perfection. Sharp and provocative in a way that needles into your soul.
Cursed Daughters
Gorgeously written drama about family issues with a hint of magic in the family "curse," passed down from mother to daughter for generations.
The Wedding People by Alison Espach
A book about starting over.
Saltblood by Francesca de Torres
Transformation on many levels. The prose is beautiful.
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
A WWII story narrated by Death.
What the River Knows by Isabel Ibanez
Magical Realism at it's finest.
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
This psychological thriller dives deep into the formative ages of childhood and the traumas that define our adulthood.
Starling House by Alix E. Harrow
Monsters of our own making.
