Hollow Kingdom
Though some aspects of the plot, including a divinatory octopus, present as colorless, the overall fresh, quirky tone and content will interest animal lovers and fans of regional books featuring sardonic wit, such as Lish McBride's Hold Me Closer, Necromancer, and anthropomorphized characters à la W. Bruce Cameron's A Dog's Purpose. Suitable as a YA/adult crossover. [See Prepub Alert, 2/4/19.]

Bertrand Court
Too vanilla to be a soap opera but too gloomy to appeal to adult romance fans, Bertrand Court lacks in overall purpose. Though similar in tone, this piece does not match the quality of Brafman's solid debut novel, Washing the Dead.
PREMIUM
The Choices We Make
The overall melancholy tone of the work does not lead the reader to a sense of catharsis. The lack of underlying themes, character development, or resolution will leave adult fiction enthusiasts feeling underwhelmed.

The Devil's Diary: Alfred Rosenberg and the Stolen Secrets of the Third Reich
These faults aside, those with an interest in German history will find this narrative engaging. [See Prepub Alert, 8/1/15.]
