Kristen Simmons recommends

The Farmhouse (2025)
Chelsea Conradt
"An unputdownable novel. Emily's quickening spiral into paranoia feels both terrifying and relatable, a woman's cry to be heard, to be acknowledged, while those she trusts the most attempt to placate her into silence. A smart, chilling, ferociously feminist thriller."

You're Dead to Me (2024)
Amy Christine Parker
"Murderous ghosts, school scandal, hungry gators, and a mysterious killer on the loose... Count me in! Amy Christine Parker's latest starts with a punch and never lets up. YOU'RE DEAD TO ME is a quick-paced, unrelenting read, and I loved every page!"

Perfect Girl (2024)
Tracy Banghart
"A page-turning, edge-of-your-seat thriller that feels indulgent in all the best ways. Once I started this, I could not stop. It gave me everything I wanted-mystery, excitement, twists and turns, and a lead I could see so much of myself in, it hurt. Tracy Banghart has absolutely crushed it!"
