Burn After Reading (2025)
Catherine Ryan Howard
"In Burn After Reading, Catherine Ryan Howard delivers yet another pulse-racing, nerve-jangling masterpiece that grips tight and never lets go. Ingeniously plotted, daring and darkly original."

The Killing Sense (2025)
Sam Blake
"A masterfully crafted thriller that immerses you in the haunting streets of Paris as a tense game of cat and mouse unfolds. Blake has a sharp eye for detail and a gift for building suspense. The Killing Sense is both chilling and compelling.This is 'one more chapter' reading at its finest."
thumb
An Ethical Guide to Murder (2025)
Jenny Morris
"A darkly compelling and brilliantly original take on power, morality, and consequence. Thea's extraordinary gift is both a blessing and a curse, and watching her navigate the blurry line between justice and vengeance makes for an absolutely gripping read. With razor-sharp prose and wonderfully relatable characters, Morris asks the ultimate question: if you had the power of life and death, how far would you go? I couldn't put it down."
