I love an intersection of historical fiction and mystery, two genres I love. Some of the books listed here also have supernatural elements.

Schwab's stories take place within her detailed fantasy worlds, but her characters' conflicts, hopes, and fears feel real and true.

The beautifully complementary, mismatched partnership between Devlin and Falco was my favorite aspect of the book.

I read this young adult mystery in a day, it was so good. Pippa and Ravi are great characters--I'll definitely read the others in the series

Robots, time travel, teen angst, and this gorgeous cover. Yes to all of this. I didn't anticipate the great twists Johnson provides.

The playful and absurd are presented as everyday occurrences, and supernatural events are regularly intermingled with sassy detective work.

This one was slow going in the middle, but Wells provides a fantastically unique point of view, and this series is perfect science-fiction e

I loooved this witty, romantic, action-packed steampunk novel--the first in a series--from Gail Carriger.

The Boy on the Bridge offers adventure, twists, turns, love, scientific exploration, betrayal, and an odd twist on hope.

This first book in the Lady Janies trilogy is funny, and smart, with clever asides, wonderful character development, and fantastic banter.

Murderbot is a part-organic robot who continues to be inconveniently and fiercely loyal to certain humans.

A smart master thief who bends time and finds her loyalties dividded in turn-of-the-century New York.

Sloane is a perfectly imperfect heroine and things aren't entirely what they seem in Roth's first novel for adults.

Murderbot shows a reluctant, grumpy ability to care for others and a desire to develop its own sense of duty and sense of self.
