Under Shifting Glass by Nicki Singer centers around a strange substance in a mysterious bottle that may hold the fate of Jess’s newborn brothers. Its surface swirls with iridescent colors, like something’s inside, something almost like a song, something with a soul. In this emotionally rich novel, award-winning author Nicky Singer crafts a world of possibility steeped in hope and the power of love.
Fans of Michaela MacColl (Prisoners in the Palace, Promise the Night) will be eager to get their hands on her newest title, Nobody’s Secret.

Meticulously researched, this novel celebrates Dickinson’s intellect and spunk in a page-turner of a book that will excite fans of mystery, romance, and poetry alike.

But when Paige hears the rumor that her death wasn’t an accident—that she supposedly jumped on purpose—she can’t bear it.
