The Payback

Kashana Cauley

When the Debt Police come calling, ex-Hollywood stylist Jada Williams isn’t going quietly. Stranded at the Glendale mall with two equally overqualified, underpaid coworkers, she crafts a bold plot to wipe out their student loans—and strike back at the system that sold them a lie. The Payback is “terrifically fun... made me laugh out loud at least once every chapter,” raved The Los Angeles Times.

A steamy ghost story set in the wooded quiet of suburban New Jersey

House of Beth

Kerry Cullen

After a breakup and career implosion, a young woman steps into a new role—wife, stepmother, homemaker—only to find the house she now inhabits still ruled by the memory of the woman who came before. As voices begin to echo through the walls, what starts as unease spirals into obsession, revealing a past that refuses to stay buried. "Modern gothic meets psychological suspense in this wholly original work," praised Kirkus Reviews.

Mark Kurlansky serves up a savory-sweet New York satire

Cheesecake

Mark Kurlansky

In this delectable novel from the bestselling author of Salt and Cod, a 2,000-year-old cheesecake recipe upends life on West 86th Street. Set in the 1970s Upper West Side—where poppyseed strudel and gossip flow in equal measure—Cheesecake charts the rise of one Greek family’s restaurant and the gentrification it fuels, one slice at a time. “The atmosphere [Kurlansky] creates is vivid and oh-so-New York," says Kirkus Reviews. "Good fun.”
