Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks.
Rachel Howzell Hall, Mist and Malice
(Thomas & Mercer)
“What makes this hit is that it’s not just about what’s happening; it’s about who it’s happening to. This is a character-driven thriller in the best way: messy motivations, emotional baggage, and a main character who is deeply flawed but impossible not to root for.”
–Theresa Brock, The Best Thriller Books
Alessandra Ranelli, Murder at the Hotel Orient
(Gallery/Scout Press)
“Murder At The Hotel Orient is a sassy, sexy celebration of old school mysteries with a brash, unapologetic sensual twist. I loved it!”
–S.A. Cosby
Kim Sherwood, Hurricane Room
(William Morrow)
“Hurricane Room is… an absolute stunner…. A number of writers have worked in the Bond universe, but readers should rank Sherwood near (or perhaps at) the top of the list: her novels feature superb writing, brilliantly conceived stories, and a Bond unlike any Bond we’ve seen before. A magnificent conclusion to a wonderful trilogy.”
–Booklist
Michael Connelly, Ironwood
(Little Brown)
“Connelly has another great series on his hands with his Catalina novels…The mysteries are intriguing, the pace is relentless, and Stillwell is a captivating character. Adding Ballard makes a great book stellar.”
–Library Journal
Emma Mills, Rachel West and the Fallen Starlet
(Berkley)
“[R]eaders in search of a winning dose of late-aughts nostalgia and an endearing heroine will find them here.”
–Publishers Weekly
Camilla Bruce, The Temptation of Charlotte North
(Del Rey)
“Richly atmospheric and peopled with exquisitely delineated characters . . . the novel builds to a genuine shocker of an ending. Readers will be hooked.”
–Publishers Weekly
Leslie Baird, Salomé
(Putnam)
“Baird’s first outing offers plenty of well-executed and unexpected twists as well as timely themes. A perfect read for those who loved Sarah Pinborough’s popular if polarizing Behind Her Eyes.”
–Booklist
S.D. Coverly, The Arcane Arts
(Del Rey)
“Half dark academia and half erotica, [S. D.] Coverly’s debut offers a hedonistic account of a graduate student’s dalliance with forbidden magic and romance . . . strengthened by complex characters with undeniable chemistry.”
–Publishers Weekly
Karina Kilmore, Against Their Will
(Blackstone)
“Karina Kilmore is a fantastic writer, and this gripping book had me on the edge of my seat till the last page.”
–Don Winslow
Michael Cody, Avalon Moon
(Madville)
“With wolves across the river and murder in the high meadow, Avalon Moon knows exactly how to raise the hair on your neck. Move it to the top of your book queue.”
–BestThrillers.com
Tori Eldridge, Hawaii Rage
(Thomas & Mercer)
“It’s dramatic, suspenseful, emotional, and captivating. Keeping you guessing while educating you on a side of Hawai’i that’s not on any tourist itinerary. A brilliantly executed novel with heart that pours out from the soul of author Tori Eldridge.”
–Steve Netter, Best Thriller Books
Kelley Armstrong, An Ordinary Sort of Evil
(Minotaur)
“A healthy mix of mystery, romance, and a little something otherworldly.”
–Kirkus Reviews
