Getting called back to space after your career already imploded is bad enough.
The Last Astronaut
Sci-Fi · First Contact · Hard Sci-Fi · Space Exploration
Our take
Getting called back to space after your career already imploded is bad enough. Finding out the alien object heading toward Earth has no interest in playing nice makes it so much worse. The Last Astronaut throws a disgraced former NASA commander into a tense first-contact mission that quickly turns into a fight for survival. Fast, eerie, and packed with dread, this is sci-fi horror with real momentum.

About the book
Shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award 2020!
"A terrifying tour de force." --James Rollins
"Readers will be riveted." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Sally Jansen was NASA's leading astronaut, until a mission to Mars ended in disaster. Haunted by her failure, she lives in quiet anonymity, convinced her days in space are over.
She's wrong.
A large alien object has entered the solar system on a straight course toward Earth. It has made no attempt to communicate. Out of time and out of options, NASA turns to Jansen.
But as the object reveals its secrets, Jansen and her crew find themselves in a desperate struggle for survival -- against the cold vacuum of space, and something far, far worse...
"Breathless, compulsive reading." --Christopher Golden
"A suspenseful, fast-paced story of first contact." --Kirkus

Making first contact was supposed to mean discovery, not absolute disaster.
Xeno
Horror · Sci-Fi · Cosmic Horror · Creature Feature · Eldritch Horror · First Contact
Our take
Making first contact was supposed to mean discovery, not absolute disaster. Xeno traps a tiny crew aboard a colony ship with an ancient alien force that should have stayed lost in space, turning a routine journey into a full-blown nightmare. Dark, brutal, and built on rising dread, this is space horror that goes straight for the throat.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A terrifying descent into space horror.
Sometimes in space you wake to a nightmare.
The huge spaceship the Xeno is en route to a new world light years from Earth, its payload of more than 50,000 cryogenically frozen colonists watched over by a supercomputer and a skeleton crew of only a dozen people.
When the ship comes into contact with a seemingly inert alien artefact drifting in space, the crew believes they've made a momentous discovery for all humankind. They’re unaware it’s the eve of true horror.
Soon it becomes clear the crew have unwittingly woken an evil so ancient and so powerful it threatens not only the ship and its slumbering passengers, but the future of the human race itself.
Recommended for mature readers due to graphic language, violence and sexual content.

Saving humanity sounds noble right up until someone plants a bomb on the ship.
The Deep Sky
Post-Apocalyptic · Sci-Fi · Space Exploration · Speculative Fiction
Our take
Saving humanity sounds noble right up until someone plants a bomb on the ship. The Deep Sky follows a generation ship mission carrying Earth’s last hope, where one deadly explosion leaves the crew terrified, suspicious, and increasingly willing to turn on each other. Asuka, the only surviving witness, is stuck at the center of the chaos in this tense sci-fi thriller that blends space survival, buried secrets, and the kind of pressure that makes trust feel almost fictional.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Yume Kitasei's The Deep Sky is an enthralling sci fi thriller debut about a mission into deep space that begins with a lethal explosion that leaves the survivors questioning the loyalty of the crew.
They left Earth to save humanity. They’ll have to save themselves first.
It is the eve of Earth’s environmental collapse. A single ship carries humanity’s last hope: eighty elite graduates of a competitive program, who will give birth to a generation of children in deep space. But halfway to a distant but livable planet, a lethal bomb kills three of the crew and knocks The Phoenix off course. Asuka, the only surviving witness, is an immediate suspect.
As the mystery unfolds on the ship, poignant flashbacks reveal how Asuka came to be picked for the mission. Despite struggling through training back on Earth, she was chosen to represent Japan, a country she only partly knows as a half-Japanese girl raised in America. But estranged from her mother back home, The Phoenix is all she has left.
With the crew turning on each other, Asuka is determined to find the culprit before they all lose faith in the mission—or worse, the bomber strikes again.

The Fall Of Arthur
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · High Fantasy
Our take
The Fall of Arthur brings Tolkien’s unfinished Arthurian poem to Arthur’s final campaign, as he returns to Britain to face Mordred’s betrayal while the fractures caused by Guinevere and Lancelot threaten the kingdom from within. Written in alliterative verse and paired with Christopher Tolkien’s literary analysis, this edition blends tragedy, battle, and scholarship in a work that will especially appeal to readers drawn to Arthurian legend and Tolkien’s broader literary world.
Choose your retailer
About the book
New York Times bestseller "An incomplete but highly compelling retelling . . . An action-packed, doom-haunted saga, full of vivid natural description."—New York Times Book Review
The Fall of Arthur recounts in alliterative verse the last campaign of King Arthur, who, even as he stands at the threshold of Mirkwood, is summoned back to Britain by news of the treachery of Mordred. Already weakened in spirit by Guinevere’s infidelity with the now-exiled Lancelot, Arthur must rouse his knights to battle one last time against Mordred’s rebels and foreign mercenaries. Powerful, passionate, and filled with vivid imagery, this unfinished work of epic poetry reveals Tolkien’s gift for storytelling at its brilliant best. Christopher Tolkien, editor, contributes three illuminating essays of literary analysis that explore the literary world of King Arthur, reveal the deeper meaning of the verses and the painstaking work his father, J.R.R. Tolkien, applied to bring the poem to a finished form, and investigate the intriguing links between The Fall of Arthur and Tolkien’s Middle-earth.
"Compelling in pace, haunted by loss, it lives up to expectations."—Daily Beast
"Erudite and beautiful." – NPR.org
This definitive edition presents the complete work, contextualized by deep scholarly analysis:
- Tolkien's Lost Arthurian Epic: Read the only major poetic work by J.R.R. Tolkien on the legend of King Arthur, presented here for the first time.
- A Kingdom's Tragic Fall: Follow Arthur's final campaign, from the borders of Mirkwood to a Britain betrayed by Mordred and torn apart by the infidelity of Guinevere and Lancelot.
- Deep Literary Scholarship: Explore three extensive essays by Christopher Tolkien that illuminate the poem's creation, its context in the legend, and his father's painstaking writing process.
- Links to Middle-earth: Discover the intriguing connections between The Fall of Arthur and the vast mythology of The Silmarillion, revealed by the world's foremost Tolkien expert.

Hell is having a bit of a murder problem, and Emilia does not exactly have time for a calm emotional processing break.
Kingdom of the Feared
Paranormal Romance · Teen + Young Adult
Our take
Hell is having a bit of a murder problem, and Emilia does not exactly have time for a calm emotional processing break. In Kingdom of the Feared, she is chasing the truth about her sister, navigating deadly political unrest, and getting pulled deeper into her dangerously intense bond with Wrath. Packed with deception, power plays, and very little room for trust, this finale leans hard into steamy romantasy chaos with demons, curses, and enough secrets to keep everyone miserable in the best way.

About the book
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stalking Jack the Ripper series comes the steamy conclusion to Kingdom of the Wicked trilogy.
Two curses.
One prophecy.
A reckoning all have feared.
And a love more powerful than fate. All hail the king and queen of Hell.
Emilia is reeling from a shocking discovery about her sister, Vittoria. But before she faces the demons of her past, Emilia yearns to claim her king, the seductive Prince of Wrath, in the flesh. She doesn’t just desire his body; she wants his heart and soul—but that’s something even the enigmatic demon can’t promise her.
When a high-ranking member of House Greed is assassinated, damning evidence somehow points to Vittoria as the murderer. Now, Emilia will do anything to get to the bottom of these accusations against the sister she thought she knew.
Together, Emilia and Wrath play a sin-fueled game of deception to solve the murder and stop the unrest brewing between witches, demons, shape-shifters, and the most treacherous foes of all: the Feared.

In White Rabbit, Rufus Holt is pulled into a deadly overnight search for the truth when he finds his sister covered in blood beside her murdered boyfriend.

We Are All the Same in the Dark
Thriller · Psychological Thriller
Our take
A missing girl, a silent survivor, and a town that never stopped feeding on its own tragedy make We Are All the Same in the Dark feel tense from the first page. When a mysterious girl is found years after Trumanell Branson’s disappearance, young cop Odette Tucker is pulled back into the cold case that shaped her life. What follows is an atmospheric thriller full of buried secrets, old wounds, and the kind of truth this town was never built to survive.

About the book
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • PEOPLE PICK • OPTIONED BY SISTER PICTURES FOR TELEVISION • The discovery of a girl abandoned by the side of the road threatens to unearth the long-buried secrets of a Texas town’s legendary cold case in this superb, atmospheric novel from the internationally bestselling author of Black-Eyed Susans
“If you only read one thriller this year, let it be this one. Psychologically absorbing, original and atmospheric. I could not turn the pages fast enough.”—Elin Hilderbrand, #1 New York Times bestselling author of 28 Summers
It’s been a decade since Trumanell Branson disappeared, leaving only a bloody handprint behind. Her pretty face still hangs like a watchful queen on the posters on the walls of the town’s Baptist church, the police station, and in the high school. They all promise the same thing: We will find you. Meanwhile, Tru’s brother, Wyatt, lives as a pariah in the desolation of the old family house, cleared of wrongdoing by the police but tried and sentenced in the court of public opinion and in a new documentary about the crime.
When Wyatt finds a lost girl dumped in a field of dandelions, making silent wishes, he believes she is a sign. The town’s youngest cop, Odette Tucker, believes she is a catalyst that will ignite a seething town still waiting for its own missing girl to come home. But Odette can’t look away. She shares a wound that won’t close with the mute, one-eyed mystery girl. And she is haunted by her own history with the missing Tru.
Desperate to solve both cases, Odette fights to save the lost girl in the present and to dig up the shocking truth about a fateful night in the past—the night her friend disappeared, the night that inspired her to become a cop, the night that wrote them all a role in the town’s dark, violent mythology.
In this twisty psychological thriller, Julia Heaberlin paints unforgettable portraits of a woman and a girl who redefine perceptions of physical beauty and strength.
Praise for We Are All the Same in the Dark
“This chilling tale of buried sins is relentlessly unpredictable.”—The Times (South Africa)
“[Julia] Heaberlin knows how to build to a truly shocking twist, how to break a reader’s heart and then begin mending it. ‘What’s coming is always unimaginable,’ Odette’s one-time therapist tells her, ‘and by that, I mean just that. It cannot be imagined. What’s coming never acts or behaves the way we think it will.’ That’s true for this novel, too.”—The Dallas Morning News

A crumbling family legacy, an old bargain with the sea, and a heroine trapped between duty and survival give All the Murmuring Bones its haunting pull.

On a world tour built around damage control, proximity becomes its own kind of risk.
Midnight Blue
Romance · New Adult · Psychological Fiction
Our take
On a world tour built around damage control, proximity becomes its own kind of risk. In Midnight Blue, Indigo Bellamy is hired to keep self-destructive rock star Alex Winslow functioning, only to find herself caught between his chaos, his grief, and the pull neither of them can outrun. This fits an angsty rock star romance list because the emotional spiral is as central as the love story.

Basso has built a reputation on brilliance, nerve, and the kind of ruthlessness people tend to admire when it is making them rich.
Folding Knife
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Historical Fantasy
Our take
Basso has built a reputation on brilliance, nerve, and the kind of ruthlessness people tend to admire when it is making them rich. In Folding Knife, K. J. Parker gives us a statesman whose greatest talent may be turning power into a performance, right up until one mistake starts threatening everything he built. This is political fantasy without the usual ornament, sharp with strategy, ambition, and the slow, awful realization that being the smartest man in the room does not make you untouchable.

Basso the Magnificent. Basso the Great. Basso the Wise. The First Citizen of the Vesani Republic is an extraordinary man.

The Count of Monte Cristo
Literary Fiction · Historical Fiction
Our take
Betrayed, buried alive by the system, and very much not in the mood to forgive, Edmond Dantès turns injustice into something far more dangerous in The Count of Monte Cristo. What begins with wrongful imprisonment grows into an enormous story of escape, hidden fortune, and exquisitely calculated revenge against the men who ruined his life. It is a classic for a reason: dramatic, ruthless, and completely committed to the long game.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The epic tale of wrongful imprisonment, adventure and revenge, in its definitive translation
Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantès is confined to the grim fortress of If. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and he becomes determined not only to escape, but also to use the treasure to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Dumas' epic tale of suffering and retribution, inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment, was a huge popular success when it was first serialized in the 1840s.
