Last Chance To Save the World
Those who love SF romantic mystery romps such as the space romances from Constance Fay and Valerie Valdes will be happy to go along for Revis’s ride.
The Handmaid’s Tale
This is even more chilling but just as highly recommended in 2025 as it was in 1985, as historical events have made its grim science-fiction seem all too plausible. Readers who love seeing just how bad things can get and are searching for books with similar, terrifying themes will also want to read C.J. Carey’s Widowland, Sherri S. Tepper’s classic The Gate to Women’s Country, and Emily Tesh’s award-winning novel Some Desperate Glory.

The Vengeance
Readers who enjoyed Shawn Carpenter’s The Price of Redemption for its swashbuckling and Genevieve Cogman’s Scarlet for its sanguinary take on vampires meddling with history and politics will be fascinated by the latest from Newman (Atlas Alone).
Harmattan Season
The novel’s setting is reminiscent of the historical fantasy of P. Djèlí Clark, whose work, along with that of Nnedi Okorafor and Moses Ose Utomi, would be an excellent read-alike for Onyebuchi’s highly recommended hardboiled fantasy mystery.
Esperance
This mixture of mystery, SF, and historical fiction is highly recommended for readers who love intricately blended genre stories that ask big questions. Those who fell hard for Rivers Solomon’s The Deep or Leslye Penelope’s Daughter of the Merciful Deep will find a kindred story here.
PREMIUM
The Memory Collectors
Those who love time travel stories will enjoy the way Meserve’s (The Space Between) novel dives deeply into the human factors behind grief, guilt, loss, and starting over.
PREMIUM
One Way Witch
A coming-into-power story that will be highly appreciated by She Who Knows readers or anyone looking for more set in the world of Who Fears Death, recently optioned by HBO. Also a good pick for fans of Tobi Ogundiran and Suyi Davies Okungbowa.
'The Adventures of Mary Darling' by Pat Murphy | SFF Pick of the Month
Mary’s story is a dangerous and delightful adventure that turns the bigotry and misogyny of Victorian England on its head as she takes charge of her own life and rescues everyone with the help of her friends. Highly recommended for readers caught up in the recent trend of feminist retellings of well-known tales.
Direct Descendant
The secrets under Lake Argen are chilling, the hellhounds and eldritch horrors are adorable, and the romance goes from fated to bitter to sweet in an epic climax. Highly recommended.
