Kim Liggett has published three standalone YA novels alongside her Blood and Salt series. The Last Harvest (2017) is a rural horror story that draws on small-town secrets and supernatural dread. The Unfortunates (2018) shifts into darker psychological territory while staying firmly in the YA space.
The Grace Year (2019) was the book that brought Liggett wider attention. Set in a society that banishes its teenage girls for a year, believing they carry a dangerous and corrupting power, the novel became a word-of-mouth hit and drew frequent comparisons to The Handmaid’s Tale. It remains her best-known work and a strong example of YA fiction that grapples with real-world power dynamics through a speculative lens.
