Great summer read! The chemistry between Hudson and Sloane is really engaging, with funny banter that makes you laugh out loud. It is the third book in the series but it's the best one! Give it a go; it won't disappoint!

The Poet Empress by Shen Tao
The Poet Empress
by Shen Tao
recommended by Madison


"To survive, Wei must harden her heart, rely on her wit, and become dangerous herself. Even if it means becoming a poet in a world where women are forbidden to read—and composing the most powerful spell of all. A ballad of death...and love."
This book is a dark historical fantasy novel of survival and power. The plot ensnares you immediately and won't let you put it down. I could not recommend this book more!

Girl Dinner by Olivie Blake
Girl Dinner
by Olivie Blake
recommended by Anne


What does it mean to be a woman? Is it only found through motherhood and its sacrifices? Author Olivie Blake explores these questions and more in the setting of higher education, through the alternating perspectives of a professor returning to work for the first time after having a baby and a young, new sorority pledge. This book is darkly funny and mysterious, while tackling serious topics. Whatever you do, don't read too many reviews, or you'll hit a spoiler that ruins everything!

The Last One at the Wedding by Jason Rekulak
The Last One at the Wedding
by Jason Rekulak
recommended by Kim


Fans of the shows The Audacity and Made for Love will feel right at home in this novel. It features complicated family histories and a cast of characters that aren't only not what they seem, they're very much darker than that. Based on a wedding in a family of wealthy tech geniuses, you have no idea who is maybe murdering who and why. Oh, also a secret bomb shelter.
