The Executioners Three by Susan Dennard Genres: Paranormal, Mystery, Mystery Thriller, Thriller, Young Adult Published by Tor Teen on August 25, 2025 Format: eBook Pages: 293 Freddie Gellar didn’t mean to get half the rival high school arrested. She’d simply heard shrieks coming from the woods, so she’d called the cops like any good human would do. How was she supposed to know it was just kids partying? Except the next day, a body is found. And while the local sheriff might call it suicide, Freddie’s instincts tell her otherwise. So, like the aspiring sleuth (and true X-Files aficionado) she is, Freddie sets out to prove there’s a murderer at large.  But her investigation is quickly disrupted by the rivalry between her school and the school of the partying teens she got arrested. For over twenty years, the two student bodies have had an ongoing prank war, and Freddie’s failed attempt at Good Samaritanism has upped the ante.

Schwab Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Low Fantasy, Paranormal, Historical Fiction, LGBTQ+, Literary Fiction, Historical Fantasy Published by Tor on June 9, 2025 Format: eBook Pages: 544 Santo Domingo de la Calzada, 1532.  London, 1837.  Boston, 2019.  Three young women, their bodies planted in the same soil, their stories tangling like roots.  One grows high, and one grows deep, and one grows wild.  And all of them grow teeth. Lyrical, reflective, poetically beautiful, not to mention a proudly sapphic and historical take on vampires, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil is a slow and thoughtful literary fiction and historical novel wearing an exquisite paranormal fantasy gown. Very similar in tone and approach to The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, this novel is everything one would expect from V.E. Schwab. Spanning over five hundred years and featuring FMC’s of various backgrounds and stories, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil is a sprawling and meandering narrative that won’t be for everyone, but is sure to please Schwab fans and classy readers. The best way I can describe Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil is vibrant women growing from the midnight soil, restricted …
