Parable of the Talents by Octavia Butler

 

This one's going to stick with me for a long time.

Three Days in June by Anne Tyler

 Such well-drawn characters for such a short book. Really a little gem.

Rose/House by Arkady Martine

 

This was solid -- but I kind of feel like a mystery about an AI house has so much potential that it should have been, and could have been, a lot better.

Kills Well with Others by Deanna Raybourn

 

Solid, which was super disappointing because I adored the first book in the series.

One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London


 Like reading a reality show.

Counting Backwards by Jacqueline Friedland



I was predisposed to like this, but it just didn't work: characters with inexplicable behavior and too much exposition.

Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave by Elle Cosimano

 

The first book in this series was such a delight; each subsequent book has been just a touch less so. There are still rewarding moments and lots of fun, but the arc is worrying.
