The Death Row Club (2026)
V A Vazquez
"A locked room thriller featuring the adult children of notorious murderers, THE DEATH ROW CLUB delivers on its fascinating premise with a story that's equal parts tense and twisty. V. A. Vazquez's nuanced focus on victims - both dead and living - as well as her moody but empathetic prose and diabolically clever plotting make this debut a killer."

We Would Never Tell (2026)
Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau
"Glitz, glamour, and gossip-but make it dark. We Would Never Tell is a spellbinding story about the pursuit of success and what it costs to be-and remain-in the spotlight. With an irresistible setting and compelling characters who make questionable choices, Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau reminds us that ambition and desperation create quite a deadly cocktail."

Such a Clever Girl (2026)
Darby Kane
"If Agatha Christie re-wrote your favorite slasher story, it would be The Engagement Party. This is Darby Kane's darkest, twistiest thriller yet (which is saying a lot!), with game-changing surprises in nearly every chapter. It would be hard to find a book more fast-paced or adrenaline-fueled, because with this one, you don't turn the pages; you tear through them."
