Cathy, our Library Assistant, recommends Ashley Woo's, "Wildwood."

It seems like divine intervention when pregnant and unemployed Elinor unexpectedly inherits Wildwood, her estranged family's estate.

She is entranced by an eerie 19th-century mural that she calls the Forest of the Dead.

She begins to have dreams that feel like memories, visions of something terrible that happened long ago.

Determined to uncover the secret, she knows she must answer when the Forest of the Dead calls her.

As nightmares creep into her waking hours, Elinor embarks on a journey that takes her back and forth in time, to the dark recesses of memories, to the streets of modern Salem, and to the haunted corners of this otherworldly house.

Ann, one of our Resource Librarians, recommends Emily St. Mandel’s “Exit Party.”

2031. America is at war with itself, but for the first time in weeks there is some hope: the Republic of California has been declared, the curfew in Los Angeles is lifted, and everyone in the city is going to a party.

Ari, newly released from prison, arrives with her friend Gloria just as a fragile new era begins. But there are people at the party who shouldn’t be there. Something is very wrong...

Years later, living a different life in Paris, Ari remains haunted by that night. Whatever happened at the party fractured her sense of reality – and may hold the key to a very different world.
