You Know What You Did (2024)
K T Nguyen
"K.T. Nguyen's You Know What You Did is a stunning debut, a complex and compelling thriller that grabbed me from the first page and didn't let go until the very end. Nguyen's keen eye for detail and gorgeous prose contrasts with her deeply tormented narrator to set up an escalating tension that elevates this novel far above most domestic thrillers. I loved this book!"

The General's Gold (2024)
(Turner and Mosley Files, book 1)
Bruce Robert Coffin and LynDee Walker
"THE GENERAL'S GOLD by LynDee Walker and Bruce Robert Coffin is a rip-roaring adventure story, as classic as Stevenson's Treasure Island and as current as the billionaire tech genius and the social media sensation treasure hunters at its core. Smart, fun, and utterly engaging, I tore through this book in a single sitting. Just read it!"

When I'm Her (2024)
Sarah Zachrich Jeng
"Twisty doesn't begin to describe Sarah Zachrich Jeng's When I'm Her - a complex, mind-bending, mind-blowing psychological suspense unlike anything I've ever read. Jeng's first novel was a stunner, and now she's completely outdone herself. Just read it!"
