The Perfect Child
Thriller · Psychological Thriller · Suspense
Our take
What begins as a long-awaited chance to build a family turns into a slow, destabilizing nightmare. The Perfect Child follows a couple whose adoption of a troubled young girl exposes fractures in their marriage as manipulation, obsession, and fear take hold. This psychological thriller leans into domestic unease, unreliable appearances, and the terror of realizing something is deeply wrong inside an otherwise perfect home.

Christopher and Hannah are a happily married surgeon and nurse with picture-perfect lives. All that’s missing is a child. When Janie, an abandoned six-year-old, turns up at their hospital, Christopher forms an instant connection with her, and he convinces Hannah they should take her home as their own.
But Janie is no ordinary child, and her damaged psyche proves to be more than her new parents were expecting. Janie is fiercely devoted to Christopher, but she acts out in increasingly disturbing ways, directing all her rage at Hannah. Unable to bond with Janie, Hannah is drowning under the pressure, and Christopher refuses to see Janie’s true nature.
Hannah knows that Janie is manipulating Christopher and isolating him from her, despite Hannah’s attempts to bring them all together. But as Janie’s behavior threatens to tear Christopher and Hannah apart, the truth behind Janie’s past may be enough to push them all over the edge.

About the book
A Most Anticipated Novel by Pop Sugar * Book Riot * Betches * Bustle * and more!
"Utterly spellbinding....Witchcraft meets thriller."--Pop Sugar
Two sisters go missing on a remote Scottish island. Twenty years later, one is found--but she's still the same age as when she disappeared. The secrets of witches have reached across the centuries in this chilling Gothic thriller from the author of the acclaimed The Nesting.
When single mother Liv is commissioned to paint a mural in a 100-year-old lighthouse on a remote Scottish island, it's an opportunity to start over with her three daughters--Luna, Sapphire, and Clover. When two of her daughters go missing, she's frantic. She learns that the cave beneath the lighthouse was once a prison for women accused of witchcraft. The locals warn her about wildlings, supernatural beings who mimic human children, created by witches for revenge. Liv is told wildlings are dangerous and must be killed.
Twenty-two years later, Luna has been searching for her missing sisters and mother. When she receives a call about her youngest sister, Clover, she's initially ecstatic. Clover is the sister she remembers--except she's still seven years old, the age she was when she vanished. Luna is worried Clover is a wildling. Luna has few memories of her time on the island, but she'll have to return to find the truth of what happened to her family. But she doesn't realize just how much the truth will change her.

This fits horror readers who love ghost stories with creepy small-town history, family tension, and a body count that refuses to stay in the past.
The Dead Children’s Playground
Horror · Thriller · Paranormal Romance
Our take
A haunted playground beside a cemetery is already bad enough. Add child ghosts, a long-dead serial killer, a flu-like outbreak, and two sisters carrying plenty of emotional wreckage, and things get gloriously cursed fast. In The Dead Children’s Playground, Kylie and Kayla are pulled into a chilling supernatural mystery where the past is very much not buried and the cost of finding answers could be permanent. This fits horror readers who love ghost stories with creepy small-town history, family tension, and a body count that refuses to stay in the past.

The Unheard
Horror · Thriller
Our take
When her daughter, Poppy, returns from a weekend with her ex-husband withdrawn and frightened, Tess’s unease turns to terror. A chilling crayon drawing and Poppy’s cryptic words—“He did kill her”—set Tess on a desperate search for answers. As memories fade and others dismiss her fears, Tess digs deeper, unearthing dark secrets that threaten to destroy everything—and everyone—she loves.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Maybe Tess is overprotective, but passing her daughter off to her ex and his new young wife fills her with a sense of dread. It’s not that Jason is a bad father—it just hurts to see him enjoying married life with someone else. Still, she owes it to her daughter Poppy to make this arrangement work.
But Poppy returns from the weekend tired and withdrawn. And when she shows Tess a crayon drawing—an image so simple and violent that Tess can hardly make sense of it——Poppy can only explain with the words, “He did kill her.”
Something is horribly wrong. Tess is certain Poppy saw something—or something happened to her—that she’s too young to understand. Jason insists the weekend went off without a hitch. Doctors advise that Poppy may be reacting to her parents’ separation. And as the days go on, even Poppy’s disturbing memory seems to fade. But a mother knows her daughter, and Tess is determined to discover the truth. Her search will set off an explosive tempest of dark secrets and buried crimes—and more than one life may be at stake.
