  Hazel Greenwood’s magical career and love life are finally looking up at twenty eight. Take that, shallow Beige Witch mom and sisters -- and everyone else who ever made her feel like an outcast, just because she inherited Granny Sage's powerful Green Magic.  
  But when a mean girl from the past goes missing, Hazel’s suddenly thrown back into old high school dramas, romantic rivalries, and angst. To clear each other's names, three supernatural frenemies must set aside ancient grudges and learn to trust each other. 
  Because in the cozy, windswept village of Blue Moon Bay, Oregon, nearly everyone’s guarding a secret. And they all involve magic. Will these three women, who usually can't stand each other, finally bond while cracking the mystery —or are they cursed to fail? 
  If you like smart sleuthing witches, snarky humor, heartwarming friendship, and the slowest of slow burn romance, escape to Blue Moon Bay today!

But who among Jamie's collars, catches, and kills is the one she wants, and will she be able to find them ... before they find her?

  It’s the summer of 1971, and all ten-year-old Janina Starcevich wants to do is spend the seemingly endless warm days riding her bicycle, climbing trees, and catching frogs in the pond in her back yard. But when a young drifter named Justin Lazarus walks into the hardware store owned by her next-door neighbor, Kathy Christian, a series of events are set in motion that will change them all forever. 
  Justin is a melding of opposites—charming but odd, friendly but frightening, seemingly ordinary but at the same time deeply strange. Kathy compares him to an optical illusion before you’ve figured it out. Something’s wrong, but it’s impossible to say exactly what. 
  The events of that sweltering summer turn the little village of Guildford, New York upside down. 
  So why, twenty-five years later, can Janina—now happily married, with three children of her own—barely remember what happened? 
  A chance mention at work starts her on an obsessive quest to reconstruct how the tragedy in 1971 unfolded, and to try to figure out what had been her role in it. The more she uncovers, the more puzzling and disturbing it becomes—an enigma that has lain buried for two and a half decades, centering around one single question: 
  Who was Justin Lazarus?

  The Colony

  It is the summer of 1979. An English painter travels to a small island off the west coast of Ireland. Mr. Lloyd takes the last leg by curragh, though boats with engines are available and he doesn't much like the sea. He wants the authentic experience, to be changed by this place, to let its quiet and light fill him, give him room to create.
  
  He doesn't know that a Frenchman follows close behind. Masson has visited the island for many years, studying their language. He is fiercely protective of their isolation; it is essential to exploring his theories of language preservation and identity.
  
  But the people who live on this rock—three miles long and half a mile wide—have their own views on what is being recorded, what is being taken, and what ought to be given in return. Over the summer, each of them—from great-grandmother Bean Uí Fhloinn to widowed Mairéad and fifteen-year-old James, who is determined to avoid the life of a fisherman—will wrestle with their own values and desires. Meanwhile, all over Ireland, violence is erupting. And there is blame enough to go around.
  
  An expertly woven portrait of character and place, a stirring investigation into yearning to find one's own way, and an unflinchingly political critique of the long, seething cost of imperialism, The Colony is a novel that transports, that celebrates beauty and connection, and that reckons with the inevitable ruptures of independence.
