New Book Releases: April 19, 2022

Each week, I’ll catalog the biggest and most exciting adult and YA fiction — and the occasional nonfiction — coming out that Tuesday.

BLOOD SUGAR, Sascha Rothchild. A young widow — who just so happens to have several murders under her belt — is accused of the murder of her husband, who, in fact, she never harmed. I adored this hilarious, fast-paced, voicey thriller. “A mesmerizing thriller…Jeff Lindsay fans will have a hard time not devouring this standout effort in one sitting,” writes Publisher’s Weekly in a starred review. Amazon, Bookshop, Libro.fm.

GO HEX YOURSELF, Jessica Clare. A witch’s new apprentice falls in love with the witch’s irritating warlock nephew. Amazon, Bookshop, Libro.fm.

HOPE AND GLORY, Jendella Benson. A thriving Angeleno returns to London following her father’s death and attempts to bring her British Nigerian immigrant family back together. “A sumptuous and satisfying meditation on family and the meaning of home,” writes Publisher’s Weekly.
