📚 Staff Pick: Adele recommends Between Two Fires

This week’s Staff Pick comes from Adele, who’s been captivated by Christopher Buehlman’s Between Two Fires — a darkly imaginative medieval adventure blending history, fantasy, angels and demons.

💬 Adele says:
"Between Two Fires is a Witcher-esque romp through medieval France, with all the horror that entails. Imaginative and unpredictable, it will leave you grateful for the invention of modern plumbing."

📚 Read the book before you see the movie! 🎬

Before The Dog Stars makes its way to the big screen, discover the story where it began — in Peter Heller’s powerful and beautifully written novel.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, The Dog Stars is much more than a story about survival. It’s a haunting exploration of friendship, loyalty, love, loss and what it means to remain human when the world has changed beyond recognition.
