Law Let's see what we have here: an Asian fantasy from a British Chinese author, a thriller from a Black American woman author, a Native American horror story, a thriller from a Vietnamese American author, a queer romance, a Black American romance and one nonfiction.

Another wide selection of books. Indian Burial Ground, You Know What You Did and To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods look good, but why does the last one remind me of Daughter of the Moon Goddess?
