A skeptical small-town cop and a man who can read an object’s past make a messy but very useful team in A Touch of Murder.
A Touch of Murder
LGBTQIA+ · Mystery
Our take
A skeptical small-town cop and a man who can read an object’s past make a messy but very useful team in A Touch of Murder. Barret thinks Adam is a fraud until Adam’s visions start lining up a little too well with the evidence in a missing woman’s case. This paranormal mystery mixes murder investigation, reluctant trust, and a slow shift from suspicion to something much more personal.

About the book
Officer Barret Whitestone loves the small town of Hidden Falls. After all, he grew up there. He takes his job of protecting the people seriously, and so when a case brings him to Touched, he's sure he has just met the biggest fraud and charlatan in town. With a murder case to solve, he doesn't have time to waste with someone he's sure is taking advantage of a grieving family.
Adam is a psychometric—a person who has the rare ability to sense an object's history through touch. But unlike most others with his gift, he can't turn the ability off. He's used to people not believing him, but when it comes to murder, he knows he can help identify a killer.
With pressure from the town, Barret humors Adam. At first, he's convinced he's wasting time and energy, but when what Adam tells him starts to match with the evidence, he can't help but believe there may be something to Adam's ability.
Forced to put their differences aside, the two slowly piece together what happened to a missing woman. Navigating through a confusing case while searching for evidence that can be used in court, they're both determined to bring a killer to justice and learn to trust each other along the way.

The Memoirs of Cleopatra
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
Cleopatra gets the full epic treatment here, told in her own voice with all the ambition, intelligence, and danger you would want from a woman history refuses to stop talking about. The Memoirs of Cleopatra follows her rise as queen, her entanglements with Julius Caesar and Marc Antony, and the political and personal calculations that shape her fate. It is lush historical fiction built on power, seduction, betrayal, and a woman determined to control her story to the very end.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Bestselling novelist Margaret George brings to life the glittering kingdom of Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile, in this lush, sweeping, and richly detailed saga, the basis for the Cleopatra TV mini-series.
Told in Cleopatra's own voice, The Memoirs of Cleopatra is a mesmerizing tale of ambition, passion, and betrayal in the ancient Egyptian world, which begins when the twenty-year-old queen seeks out the most powerful man in the world, Julius Caesar, and does not end until, having survived the assassination of Caesar and the defeat of the second man she loves, Marc Antony, she plots her own death rather than be paraded in triumph through the streets of Rome.
Most of all, in its richness and authenticity, it is an irresistible story that reveals why Margaret George's work has been widely acclaimed as "the best kind of historical novel, one the reader can't wait to get lost in." (San Francisco Chronicle).

The Shockwave Rider feels unsettlingly ahead of its time, dropping readers into a future drowning in data, surveillance, bureaucracy, and identity collapse.
The Shockwave Rider
Dystopian · Cyberpunk Dystopia · Post-Apocalyptic
Our take
The Shockwave Rider feels unsettlingly ahead of its time, dropping readers into a future drowning in data, surveillance, bureaucracy, and identity collapse. At the center is Nickie Haflinger, a fugitive who keeps reinventing himself to stay ahead of the system trying to reprogram him. Sharp, paranoid, and packed with big ideas, this is the kind of science fiction that reads less like old-school speculation and more like a warning that showed up early.

Constantly shifting his identity among a population choking on information, innovation, and novelty, Nickie Haflinger is a most dangerous outlaw, yet he doesn't even appear to exist. As global society falls apart in all directions, with corporate power run amok and personal freedom surrendered to computers and bureaucrats, Haflinger is caught and about to be re-programmed. Now he has to try to escape once again, defy the government—and turn the tide of organizational destruction, in this visionary science fiction novel by the author of The Sheep Look Up and Stand on Zanzibar.
"Brunner writes about the future as if he and the reader were already living in it." —The New York Times Book Review
"When John Brunner first told me of his intention to write the book, I was fascinated—but I wondered whether he, or anyone, could bring it off. Bring it off he has, with cool brilliance. A hero with transient personalities, animals with souls, think tanks and survival communities fuse to form a future so plausibly alive it as twitched at me ever since." —Alvin Toffler, author of Future Shock
"One of the most important science fiction authors. Brunner held a mirror up to reflect our foibles because he wanted to save us from ourselves." —SF Site

As the survivors of the Garden try to rebuild their lives, another killer begins staging young women in churches surrounded by flowers, pulling the agents back into a fresh nightmare. With Priya hunting answers about her sister’s murder, this one mixes grief, urgency, and creeping dread in a way that is deeply unsettling.

About the book
An "impressive" tale of psychic power, Native American mysticism, and an ancient evil in Alabama, from the New York Times–bestselling author of Swan Song (Associated Press).
Born and raised in rural Alabama, Billy Creekmore was destined to be a psychic. His mother, a Choctaw Indian schooled in her tribe's ancient mysticism, understands the permeable barrier between life and death—and can cross it. She taught the power to Billy and now he helps the dead rest in peace.
Wayne Falconer, son of one of the most fervent tent evangelists in the South, travels the country serving his father's healing ministry. Using his unique powers to cure the flock, Little Wayne is on his way to becoming one of the popular and successful miracle workers in the country. He helps the living survive.
Billy and Wayne share more than a gift. They share a dream—and a common enemy. They are on separate journeys, mystery walks that will lead them toward a crossroad where the evil of their dreams has taken shape. One of them will reject the dark. The other will be consumed by it. But neither imagined just how monstrous and far-reaching the dark was, or that mankind's fate would rest in their hands during an epic showdown of good versus evil.
From the author of Gone South, Boy's Life, and the Matthew Corbett series, a master of suspense who has won the World Fantasy and Bram Stoker Awards, Mystery Walk offers "creepy, subtle touches throughout [and] splendid Southern-town atmosphere" (Kirkus Reviews).

About the book
A brand new fake dating destination romcom to fall in love with in 2026!
'[A] bright, beautiful, and absolutely addictive read.' NetGalley reviewer
No one said fake dating was going to be easy…
Two weeks ago, Lexi O’Reilly had her perfect job. Today, she’s being fired for seeing something she shouldn’t have. With a social media scandal waiting to drop, all she wants is to disappear until the storm has passed.
Enter Tristan Martinelli, her brother’s best friend and oceanographer. With a deadline looming for his upcoming tv series, Tristan has run out of footage, money, and sponsorships to finish his series. All he wants is to wrap up his life’s work and meet his deadline.
When the perfect job presents itself – a three-month stint at an exclusive private island resort with some of the best-preserved reefs in the world, where Lexi will run the hotel, and Tristan the dive centre – the only snag is that they must be a couple to apply. Despite knowing how she feels about Tristan, they make a deal to fake being engaged to apply for the job. Surely pretending to be in love with the man you’re already in love with should be easy, right?

Prince’s Gambit
Gay Romance · LGBTQIA+ · Romantasy
Our take
With war closing in, Damen and Laurent leave palace intrigue behind for a far more dangerous game at the border, where shifting loyalties and buried secrets can be just as deadly as open battle.

About the book
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A moving account of resilience, hope, fear and mortality, and how these things resonate in our lives, by actor and advocate Michael J. Fox.
The entire world knows Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, the teenage sidekick of Doc Brown in Back to the Future; as Alex P. Keaton in Family Ties; as Mike Flaherty in Spin City; and through numerous other movie roles and guest appearances on shows such as The Good Wife and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Diagnosed at age 29, Michael is equally engaged in Parkinson’s advocacy work, raising global awareness of the disease and helping find a cure through The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, the world’s leading non-profit funder of PD science. His two previous bestselling memoirs, Lucky Man and Always Looking Up, dealt with how he came to terms with the illness, all the while exhibiting his iconic optimism. His new memoir reassesses this outlook, as events in the past decade presented additional challenges.
In No Time Like the Future: An Optimist Considers Mortality, Michael shares personal stories and observations about illness and health, aging, the strength of family and friends, and how our perceptions about time affect the way we approach mortality. Thoughtful and moving, but with Fox’s trademark sense of humor, his book provides a vehicle for reflection about our lives, our loves, and our losses.
Running through the narrative is the drama of the medical madness Fox recently experienced, that included his daily negotiations with the Parkinson’s disease he’s had since 1991, and a spinal cord issue that necessitated immediate surgery. His challenge to learn how to walk again, only to suffer a devastating fall, nearly caused him to ditch his trademark optimism and “get out of the lemonade business altogether.”

About the book
With her eighteenth birthday fast approaching, crown princess Josselyn deLure knows it’s her duty to choose a husband, but that doesn't mean she has to be happy about it. She'd much rather be practicing her swordplay with her best friend, Edmund, or teasing her straight-laced guard, Alex. Marriage isn't high on her list of priorities.
But when a plot to overthrow the kingdom sends her fleeing for her life, marriage will be the least of her worries as the ancient, celestial magic dwelling beneath her marked skin emerges in the most startling of ways. Will she be strong enough to face the darkness inside and save her kingdom? Or will she crumple under the weight of self-doubt?
Celestial beasts, swoony dances, and a fierce-as-hell warrior princess all mark the exciting first installment of E.P. Stavs's The Shendri Series.

About the book
Fire can destroy the past. It can also uncover secrets in this novel of searing suspense by New York Times bestselling author Mary Burton.
Ten years ago as an undergrad, Joan Mason escaped an arsonist’s fire. Shaken, she fled the small collegiate Montana town, leaving behind friends and not looking back. Now a Philadelphia homicide detective, Joan’s trying to put her traumas to rest. It’s not easy. Elijah Weston, the classmate who torched her house, is out of prison and returning to Missoula. Gut instinct tells Joan he’ll strike again. To stop him, she must return to the past as well. To face not only the man she fears but Detective Gideon Bailey, too. The man she loved and left behind.
When a local woman dies tragically in another fire, it can’t be a coincidence. Can it be Elijah? He has a solid alibi for the night of the blaze. Reunited by the tragedy, Joan and Gideon have their doubts. So does Gideon’s sister, Ann—Joan’s old college roommate.
The investigation draws Joan and Gideon together, but it also sends them down a dangerous path—into a troubling history that Joan, Elijah, and Ann all share. As more lives go up in flames in Missoula, this town’s secrets are just beginning to rise from the ashes.
