There’s Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins
Stephanie Perkins' YA horror/thriller novel, There's Someone Inside Your House, will have adults and teens alike reeling until the very last page. Think Scream, but much more original and clever! Try to go right to sleep after finishing this book and let me know how that works out for you. It certainly didn't work for… Continue reading There’s Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins
One Perfect Lie by Lisa Scottoline
One Perfect Lie is due for publication from Macmillan on April 11, 2017. I always enjoy Scottoline's stand-alone novels. They are quick reads because they are hard to put down, with just enough mystery mixed into the story line to keep readers guessing until the very end. The topics of her novels are varied so… Continue reading One Perfect Lie by Lisa Scottoline
Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough
Behind Her Eyes, published by Macmillan, will be released on January 31, 2017. This story is full of unreliable narrators (who drink...a lot) and the story switches back and forth between them with each chapter. David Martin is young, handsome, and a highly successful psychiatrist. His wife, Adele, is strikingly beautiful with a tragedy-laden past,… Continue reading Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough
The Seventh Plague by James Rollins
The release date for The Seventh Plague, the newest installment in James Rollins's Sigma Force series, is December 13, 2016. This happens to be my birthday, which is a pretty awesome birthday gift from my absolute favorite author! (Thanks, James!) Though the novels do not have to be read in order for maximum enjoyment, I understand… Continue reading The Seventh Plague by James Rollins
The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware
I enjoyed the first psychological thriller from Ruth Ware, In a Dark, Dark Wood, but this novel was oh so much better - with a luxury cruise liner as the setting and an abundance of possibilities among the guests as to who could be the killer(s). Laura (Lo) Blacklock, a travel journalist from London, has just… Continue reading The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware
Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris
Behind Closed Doors is set for a release date of August 9, 2016 by Macmillan. Previously released in the UK, it was an instant bestseller. After binge reading it all in one evening, I can certainly understand why! Jack and Grace are the perfect newlywed couple. He's a gorgeous, wealthy, high-profile attorney who stands up for… Continue reading Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris
The Doomsday Equation by Matt Richtel
My favorite author, James Rollins, endorsed this book, which is the main reason I gave it a try. I normally do not go for fictional bordering on sci-fi, or technological thrillers. However, I enjoyed The Doomsday Equation. It reminded me a little bit of Dan Brown's work, but heavier on the technology aspect. The story… Continue reading The Doomsday Equation by Matt Richtel
The Good Girl by Mary Kubica
This book was so good that I could not put it down. I was reading it while feeding my 1 year old baby food with the other hand! The surprise ending really throws the reader for a loop, but in a good way. This is one of the best fast-paced mysteries that I have read… Continue reading The Good Girl by Mary Kubica
