​For today’s Title Spotlight, we are featuring: The Ending Writes Itself by Evelyn Clarke (the secret pen name of powerhouse authors V.E. Schwab and Cat Clarke!).

​It is a delightfully twisty, addictive locked-room mystery that is perfect for devouring in one sitting out on our patio or on a picnic blanket at the park.
