A powerful and moving novel about several generations of a Palestinian family whose lives are repeatedly uprooted and disrupted by war. All the while they confront the common problems and rites of passage for families in any culture--conflict between parents and teenagers, the discovery or rejection of religion, caring for aging parents. A masterful debut from a major talent. ~ Reviewed by Stan Hynds

Your mind says it's time to get out of this chair but your fingers won't let it go. Meloy has written the un-put-downable novel of the summer. Propulsive, frightening, and worst/best of all, believable. If you liked A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again...ok not really. But don't fool around with the tour guide when you go ashore. ~ Reviewed by Stan Hynds

The Dark Net, that underground, illegal Internet is a real thing and it's scary enough. But what if the gates of hell were flung open via the web? Scarier. Benjamin Percy imagines a world called Portland where demons are hacking away. A heroic twelve year old blind girl and her aunt, a determined, socially inept Journalist, are well-crafted characters in this battle against evil and race against time. ~ Reviewed by Stan Hynds

This excellent novelist (The Dog Stars and The Painter are two personal favorites) introduces a wonderful character in the silver-haired, blue-blooded Celine, a private eye whose own fractured childhood fuels her work in reuniting separated families. Her current case involves a young woman whose father, a world-class National Geographic photographer, disappeared decades earlier, presumably dead by bear attack. Heller's story takes the reader from Long Island Sound to southern Vermont, Yellowstone to Argentina. Part rich family saga and part investigative thriller, Celine is both thought-provoking and page-turning. ~ Reviewed by Stan Hynds

This is immersive historical fiction set in South Carolina during the Civil War. Read it for the characters, read it for the tension Rivers creates and builds around life-shattering secrets, and read it for the sublime language that flows across the pages in this perfectly rendered epistolary novel. ~ Reviewed by Stan Hynds
