HBL Note: Let’s take a moment to celebrate the successes that Shelley Nolden is already seeing for her debut novel, THE VINES. (You know I love seeing debut authors getting lots of attention and accolades!) First, according to one representative from The Independent Bookseller Publishing Association, THE VINES has the highest number of downloads in the NetGalley IBPA partnership program that he’s ever seen; The Goodreads Giveaway garnered 8.7 thousand entrants (don’t worry if you missed out! Two more are planned!); finally, the audiobook will be narrated by Jess Nahikian, whose voice you might recognize from Snowflakes by Ruth Ware, What It Seems by Emily Bleeker, Brave Girl, Quiet Girl by Catherine Ryan Hyde, and Blood Moon by Lucy Cuthew.

From the publisher:
In the shadows of New York City lies forbidden North Brother Island, where the remains of a shuttered hospital hide the haunting memories of century-old quarantines and human experiments. The ruins conceal the scarred and beautiful Cora, imprisoned by contagions and the doctors who torment her.
When Finn, a young urban explorer, arrives on the island and glimpses the enigmatic woman through the foliage, intrigue turns to obsession as he seeks to uncover her past--and his own family's dark secrets. By unraveling these mysteries, will he be able to save Cora? Will Cora meet the same tragic ending as the thousands who've already perished on the island?
The Vines intertwines North Brother Island's horrific and elusive history with a captivating tale of love, betrayal, survival, and loss.
