Bellewether by Susanna Kearsley
414 pages | Simon & Schuster | Historical Fiction| Release Date: 04/24/18

This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone

Soulless by Gail Carriger
10 hrs 48 mins | Hachette Audio | Paranormal | 10/1/2009

She’s a preternatural–a rare person born with no soul and the ability to turn supernaturals human with just a touch.
