The Secret History
A classic of the elite-campus murder mystery, similarly moody and morally rotten, without the magic.
-
Six of Crows
Same author's younger, more caper-driven fantasy for a quicker, less brutal read.
-
House of Earth and Blood
Another dark fantasy where a haunted woman investigates a killing that points toward powerful people.
