Chelsey Recommendation: Lady Tremaine by Rachel Hoshhauser
New in the library: Lady Tremaine! If you think you know the story of Cinderella, think again. This book gives the infamous “evil” stepmother a surprisingly layered backstory that might just make you question everything you thought you knew about the fairy tale. You may even walk away realizing Cinderella is kind of an idiot. Perfect for readers who love villain origin stories, fairy tale retellings, or just a really good story with a fresh perspective.

Ashley Recommendation: The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig
The Knight and the Moth is a beautifully haunting gothic fantasy filled with mystery, tension, and lyrical writing. Rachel Gillig creates an atmospheric world that pulls you in immediately, while the character dynamics keep the story emotionally engaging from start to finish.
One of the highlights for me was Bartholomew, the lovable gargoyle sidekick who completely steals the show. His humor and loyalty bring the perfect balance to the darker tone of the story, and he’s impossible not to love.
With strong chemistry, eerie vibes, and unforgettable characters, this is a must-read for fans of dark fantasy romance.
