Snake-Eater

Who wouldn’t want a vengeful roadrunner god leaving snake corpses as a courtship gift to try to win your heart?

A criminal who’s been backed into a corner is unpredictable and dangerous, so you’d better be prepared to protect yourself.

This book covers everything from addiction to the dichotomy of a society that demands mothers bear all the responsibility of childcare.

Just because your thieving neighbor knows you’re onto him doesn’t mean you’re in a true-crime podcast … yet.

I got everything I wanted out of this book: more Amina and Raksh and Dahlila, plus a witch who literally weaves magic!

When you end up covered in mud and cow dung, is there enough hot water in the world to make you ever feel clean again?

Cutting someone’s heart out is a pretty distinctive MO, which means a recent murder points to a 60-year-old murder.
