#BookReview: The Manor of Dreams by Christina Li @christinaliwrites
Mexican Gothic meets Everything I Never Told You in Christina Li’s haunting novel about the secrets that lie in wait in the crumbling mansion of a former Hollywood starlet, and the intertwined fates of the two Chinese American families fighting to inherit it.
They say what you don’t know can’t hurt you. But silence can be deadly.
Vivian Yin is dead. The first Chinese actress to win an Oscar, the trailblazing ingénue rose to fame in the eighties, only to disappear from the spotlight at the height of her career and live out the rest of her life as a recluse.
Now her remaining family members are gathered for the reading of her will and her daughters expect to inherit their childhood Vivian’s grand, sprawling Southern California garden estate. But due to a last-minute change to the will, the house is passed on to another family instead—one that has suddenly returned after decades of estrangement.
In hopes of staking their claim, both families move into the mansion. Amidst the grief and paranoia of the families’ unhappy reunion, Vivian’s daughters race to piece together what happened in the last weeks of their mother’s life, only to realize they are being haunted by something much more sinister and vengeful than their regrets. After so many years of silence, will the families finally confront the painful truth about the last fateful summer they spent in the house, or will they cling to their secrets until it’s too late?
Told in dual timelines, spanning three generations, and brimming with romance, betrayal, ambition and sacrifice, The Manor of Dreams is a thrilling family gothic that examines the true cost of the American dream—and what happens when the roots we set down in this country turn to rot.

#BookReview: The Dream Runners by Shveta Thakrar
A lush tapestry of dreams, myth, and magic—perfect for fans of Holly Black, Roshani Chokshi, and Margaret Rogerson. Seven years ago, Tanvi was spirited away to the subterranean realm of Nagalok, where she joined the ranks of the dream human children freed of all memory and emotion, who collect mortal dreams for the entertainment of the serpentine, immortal naga court. But when one of Tanvi’s dream harvests goes awry, she begins to remember her life on earth. Panicked and confused, she turns to the one mortal in Nagalok who might be able to Venkat, the dreamsmith responsible for collecting the dream runners’ wares and shaping them into the kingdom’s most tantalizing commodity. And as they search for answers, a terrifying truth begins to take shape—one that could turn the nagas’ realm of dreams into a land of waking nightmare. From the author of the Indie Next selection and Andre Norton Award finalist Star Daughter , this stand-alone contemporary fantasy, inspired by the nagas and garudas of Hindu mythology, is full of slow-burning romance, haunting intrigue, and shimmering magic.
#CoverReveal for Free to Fall by Louise Lennox @indie_pen_pr
When two guarded souls collide, can love set them free?
Sierra Watson is a woman of substance—a curvaceous beauty whose unshakable confidence hides the scars of a love life that’s often fallen short of her dreams. During the school year, she’s a dedicated school psychologist, offering wisdom and compassion to young minds in need. But summers are another story. Behind closed doors, Sierra fights a personal battle, juggling a second job to pay off her sister’s gambling debts and ensure her family’s future stays intact.
That second job takes her to Chesapeake Heights, the exclusive haven of the Freeman Family Resort. It’s here she crosses paths with Jabari Freeman, the eldest son of the powerful Freeman clan. Hardened by heartbreak and betrayal, Jabari has buried himself in his family’s legacy, swearing off love to protect the walls he’s built around his heart. But there’s something about Sierra—the quiet strength behind her confident smile, the way she matches his wit without effort—that makes it impossible to keep his guard up.
As Sierra becomes entwined with the vibrant and complicated Freeman family, she discovers a world of tradition, loyalty, and love that pulls her closer to the hard-hearted Jabari. Each Freeman sibling has their own quirks, struggles, and secrets, making her feel both an outsider and a part of something extraordinary. Sparks fly, passion ignites, and slowly, Jabari’s hardened heart begins to soften.
But love isn’t easy. Sierra’s sister's troubles threaten to drag Sierra back into a life of sacrifice, while Jabari’s growing responsibilities as the family’s leader weigh heavily on his soul. Both must confront their deepest fears: Jabari must decide if he’s ready to risk the pain of love again, and Sierra must believe she’s worthy of a love that doesn’t require her to sacrifice herself.
