Our take
The Flynn family is coming apart at the seams. An open marriage falters, daughters spiral into dangerous fixations, and a powerful billionaire casts a shadow over their coastal town.

About the book
“I can’t remember the last time a novel made me laugh so hard or feel so much tenderness for its characters.” —Leslie Jamison, author of Splinters
“Madeline Cash is a voice like no other.” —Lena Dunham
“I’ve read entire books that contain less wit and inventiveness than a single one of Cash’s sentences.” —Eric Puchner, New York Times-bestselling author of Dream State
“With a big surge of energy, Lost Lambs splits the nucleus of the American family.” —Tony Tulathimutte, author of Rejection
Rippling with humor, warmth, and style, Lost Lambs is a new vision of the charms and pitfalls of family dysfunction.
The Flynn family is coming undone. Catherine and Bud's open marriage has reached its breaking point as their daughters spiral in their own chaotic orbits: Abigail, the eldest, is dating a man in his twenties nicknamed War Crime Wes; Louise, the middle child, maintains a secret correspondence with an online terrorist; the brilliant youngest, Harper, is being sent to wilderness reform camp due to her insistence that someone—or something—is monitoring the town’s citizens.
Casting a shadow across their lives, and their small coastal town, is Paul Alabaster, a billionaire shipping magnate. Rumors of corruption circulate, but no one dares dig too deep. No one except Harper, whose obsession with a mysterious shipping container sends the family hurtling into a criminal conspiracy—one that may just bring them closer together.
Irreverent and addictive, pinging between the voices of the Flynn family and those of the panorama of characters around them, Madeline Cash’s Lost Lambs is a debut novel of quick-witted observation and surprising tenderness. With it, Cash has crafted a family saga for the twenty-first century, all held together with crazy glue.

A Los Angeles dogcatcher falls for a female werewolf desperate to keep her monstrous identity a secret in this debut literary horror thriller.
An ancient race of lycanthropes has survived to the present day, and its numbers are growing as the initiated convince L.A.'s down-and-out to join their pack. Paying no heed to moons, full or otherwise, they change from human to canine at will—and they're bent on domination at any cost.

Blending dark humor and epic themes with card-playing dogs, crystal meth labs, surfing, and carne asada tacos, Sharp Teeth captures the pace and feel of a graphic novel while remaining "as ambitious as any literary novel, because underneath all that fur, it's about identity, community, love, death, and all the things we want our books to be about" [Nick Hornby, The Believer].

About the book
An ex-NSA agent and a weathly lawyer must find a missing person in this cozy mystery rom-com by Julie Moffett!
I'm Lexi Carmichael, geek extraordinaire. I spend my days stopping computer hackers at the National Security Agency. My nights? Those I spend avoiding my mother and eating cereal for dinner. Even though I work for a top-secret agency, I've never been in an exciting car chase, sipped a stirred (not shaken) martini, or shot a poison dart from an umbrella.
Until today, that is, when my best friend disappeared. So, I've enlisted the help of the Zimmerman twins—the reclusive architects of America's most sensitive electronic networks—to help me navigate a bewildering maze of leads to find her.
Along the way, my path collides with a sexy government agent and a rich, handsome lawyer, both of whom seem to have the hots for me. Hacking, espionage, sexy spy-men—it's a geek girl's dream come true...

About the book
Isaac Newton kept a secret so dark, he took it to the grave. Now his secret is out… and people are dying.
Historian Trina Piper is called to the British Library to authenticate a manuscript that could change history—a document believed to have been penned by the legendary Isaac Newton. As she dives deeper into the text, the body count rises as an ancient threat plagues London once more.
When a mysterious scholar appears, determined to take the manuscript for himself, Trina considers it a minor annoyance… until she discovers the truth: he’s part of a shadowy Order bent on reviving forgotten magic for sinister purposes.
And now Trina is forced to confront questions her academic training can’t even fathom: Can science and magic coexist? Should they even try?
With the help of a handsome and resourceful Interpol agent, Trina must navigate a treacherous web of ancient secrets and deadly conspiracies, taking her from the fog-shrouded alleys of Westminster to the hallowed halls of Cambridge University. Buried within the pages of Newton’s cryptic work is the answer she seeks—if she can decipher its three-hundred year old message in time.
As Big Ben ticks down, Trina must reconcile two seemingly contradictory facts: not only was Sir Isaac Newton first among modern scientists, he was also the last of the medieval alchemists…
And his long-buried secret could spell the end for them all.
