About A Spell for Saints and Sinners, by Emily Carpenter:
Struggling psychic Ingrid is drawn into Savannah’s glittering elite … until Sailor Loeffler’s bachelorette party changes everything. Sailor is local royalty—part of the vast “Savannah Sauce” empire, beautiful and wealthy beyond imagining—and Ingrid’s reading is so accurate that she becomes the bride-to-be’s confidante. As Ingrid works even riskier spells, she is drawn further into the Loefflers’ inner circle and the obstacles in her path melt away. But is it witchcraft or other earthbound forces? Ingrid must confront the truth about just how far some people, including herself, will go to keep the life they’ve always wanted.

About Indie Darling, by Lauren Nossett:
Nashville is a city of two faces, where the glitter often masks the grit. Kelly Williams, a Dolly Parton–loving, sports-car-driving private investigator in Nashville, helps women. Her latest client is Sarah Owens, better known as Seraph, the magnetic lead singer of the indie sensation The Garden Snakes. After a series of threats turns violent, she hires Kelly to identify her assailant. Then, in the middle of a Nashville performance, Seraph is shot on stage. The ambulance carrying her disappears, and Kelly is pulled into a dangerous web of secrets involving Seraph’s bandmates, her troubled past, and the high cost of stardom.

About Dear Mother, by Rea Frey:
After a childhood riddled with trauma and unanswered questions, Isabelle Archer vows to chase down the truth. So when her estranged mother dies, the investigative journalist returns to the one story that still haunts her. Isabelle was 13 when her three foster siblings died tragically in a fire. The blaze was ruled an accident, but 25 years later, the accusations linger. Back to settle the estate, Isabelle revisits her childhood home. And when autopsy reports cast new suspicions, Isabelle unearths much more than just terrifying memories. What really happened the night of the fire? How did her mother die? And are the two somehow connected?
