This week's newsletter is packed and ready to embark on whirlwind adventures. An Irish teen slips through an interdimensional portal in Caroline O'Donoghue's "breathtaking and relevant" YA thrill ride Skipshock. A West African private detective stumbles deep into the uncanny in Tochi Onyebuchi's "clever and hard-boiled" genre-bender Harmattan Season. And an American college dropout gets an education on romance and worldliness in Stefanie Leder's "fun, exuberant" caper Love, Coffee, and Revolution. Plus, thriller writer Steve Cavanagh offers readers a peek at the inner workings of his twisted mind in The Writer's Life. Stay hydrated, wear sunblock; you're in for a wild ride!
