Dr Benedict Prince, a sleep expert from London, sees this situation as his big break. He’s all about cracking open the mind’s vault, digging into dreams, memories, and the creepy crime scene.

But here’s the twist: she knows who her biological mom is—Ula Frost, a famous painter who believes her portraits can summon doppelgängers from other universes. Pepper wonders...is there a universe where she’s more confident and loved? Digging into this wild theory, she embarks on an adventure that is both personal and heartwarming.

Hard Girls by J. Robert Lennon

Jane Pool likes her suburban life—a house, family, an annoying MIL, and a meh job at the local college.

Guess what happens next? Yep, her long-lost twin Lila (Pool) pops with info on their mom’s whereabouts. But the hunt for answers turns dangerous, revealing dark secrets that will keep you guessing.

The Murder After The Night Before by Katy Brent

Something similar happens with Molly Monroe when she finds out that her bestie is dead—cops say that it is an accident, but she calls it murder. Woken up with the mother of all hangovers, a stranger in her bed, and finding that she’s gone viral for all the wrong reasons, the only thing keeping Molly sane is finding the killer.

Tell Me An Ending by Jo Harkin

Imagine if you could just delete your worst memories. Well, thousands of people did exactly that many moons ago, and now they’re given an opportunity to get that memory back. But the question remains: should one dig up the past or keep it buried? Finn’s doubting his wife; Mei’s tripping over memories of a place she’s never been to; William’s battling PTSD and a crumbling marriage; and Oscar’s living in fear with barely any memory. Noor—a psychologist—digs into the dark side of memory tech, which shakes the moral foundation of her world.
