Liska Jacobs’s forthcoming novel THE PINK HOTEL received a strong review from Booklist, which reads: “Jacobs' third novel is over the top in pretty much every way – there's a literal luncheon for couture-clad dogs – an orgiastic quasi-dystopia so sensuously described you might be watching it unfold on Instagram.” THE PINK HOTEL is also one of Lit Hub’s most anticipated books of this summer. Lit Hub CrimeReads Senior Editor Molly Odintz raves: “This is the perfect book to recommend to all your friends in hospitality!!! And also just the perfect book. I tore through this one like a California wildfire—an appropriate comparison, given the novel’s setting in a high-end hotel beset by fires all around.” MCD will publish the book on July 19, 2022.

SIRENS & MUSES by Antonia Angress received a starred review from Library Journal, in which reviewer Barbara Hoffert praises the novel as “a brilliant study of art, politics, male dominance, female passion, and the commercialized art world in the early 2010s” and “[a] highly recommended novel of art and heart.” Meanwhile, BuzzFeed News included SIRENS & MUSES on its roundup of summer must-reads. BuzzFeed Contributor David Vogel writes: “Writing about being an artist can be tough…but Angress has done this delicately and with flair in her astounding debut...Gripping, provocative, and supremely entertaining, [SIRENS & MUSES] is one to watch out for.” Ballantine Books will publish the novel on July 12, 2022.
