The Song of Vengeance by Alisse Lee Goldenberg has received the BREW Reader’s Choice Award from The Chrysalis BREW Project and The Bookish Reader’s Pick Award from The Bookish Magazine.

The BREW Reader’s Choice Award is presented by The Chrysalis BREW Project to recognize works selected by its readership. In its review of the book, The Chrysalis BREW Project noted, “Explore a fantasy quest where recovering the magic of childhood is woven with lessons from our past and the struggles of adolescence.” It also stated, “The novel engages with Jewish folklore in a way that is grounded in heritage rather than doctrine, and much like other mythologies, the Jewish one exists at the intersection of faith, culture, and history.”

The publication further observed, “The group of friends utilizes their unique talents synergistically and resolves their differences with respect,” and concluded, “Sometimes the stories for children are the most poignant and contain the most truth.”

The Bookish Magazine has selected The Song of Vengeance as The Bookish Reader’s Pick, a category within The Bookish Awards. In its review, the magazine introduced the novel with the question, “What if everyone you love vanished and the world insisted they never existed?” It described the work as follows: “Goldenberg takes that scientific truth and reshapes it into a haunting premise. What if someone else is doing the rebuilding?”

The review also noted, “The novel does not glorify revenge,” and stated, “This recognition celebrates books that have deeply resonated with readers, capturing their hearts and minds through compelling storytelling, memorable characters, and meaningful themes.”

The Song of Vengeance is the second installment in the Dybbuk Scrolls Trilogy. The novel follows Carrie Eisen as she confronts the disappearance of her friends and uncovers the role of dybbuks seeking retribution. The narrative moves between a university setting and the realm of Hadariah, focusing on memory, friendship, and responsibility.
