About the book
Propelled by the same superb instinct for storytelling that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, the #1 New York Times bestseller A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once an incredible chronicle of thirty years of Afghan history and a deeply moving story of family, friendship, faith, and the salvation to be found in love.
“Just as good, if not better, than Khaled Hosseini’s best-selling first book, The Kite Runner.”—Newsweek
New York Times Readers Pick: 100 Best Books of the 21st Century
Khaled Hosseini returns with a beautiful, riveting, and haunting novel that confirms his place as one of the most important literary writers today.
Born a generation apart and with very different ideas about love and family, Mariam and Laila are two women brought jarringly together by war, by loss and by fate. As they endure the ever escalating dangers around them-in their home as well as in the streets of Kabul-they come to form a bond that makes them both sisters and mother-daughter to each other, and that will ultimately alter the course not just of their own lives but of the next generation. With heart-wrenching power and suspense, Hosseini shows how a woman's love for her family can move her to shocking and heroic acts of self-sacrifice, and that in the end it is love, or even the memory of love, that is often the key to survival.
A stunning accomplishment, A Thousand Splendid Suns is a haunting, heartbreaking, compelling story of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love.

The Bone Collector
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Gay Romance
Our take
Park Chen is supposed to train killers, keep Gift safe, and absolutely not get pulled into the chaos of the one man he should keep at arm’s length. The Bone Collector throws together an off-limits attraction, assassin school mayhem, dark humor, and a ridiculous amount of blood-soaked tension for readers who like their romance violent, messy, and very hot.

About the book
Park Chen has spent most of his life as a killer—a deadly, deep cover operative known as the Bone Collector. Now, he’s been benched. Reassigned as an instructor at Project Watchtower, he’s tasked with training a school of psychopathic assassins while trying to keep a promise to his friends.
Gift Ayutthaya isn’t treated like a gift at all. If anything, his parents treat him as a burden, though a spoiled one. After an attempt on his life, they pass that burden onto someone else. Park. The man Gift’s been fantasizing about for years. A man who sees him as an adorable but incompetent distraction.
It’s no secret that Gift doesn’t belong at the Watch, but Park’s made a vow to keep him safe. Gift has made a vow, too. He’s going to use every weapon in his arsenal to find a way to seduce Park and make him love him, once and for all. Or die trying.
Loving Gift was never the issue—Park’s already there. But assignments at the Watch aren’t optional. To stay, Gift has to prove himself, something Park just can’t allow. Can Gift get Park to see that, when it comes to murder, Gift is aptly named? Or will he be relegated to the sidelines in both school and in love?
The Bone Collector is an action packed, smoking hot, age gap romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It features a rule-following assassin turned reluctant teacher of psychopaths and an adorable, off-limits, fumbling student who just can’t seem to stay away from each other. Prepare yourself for gratuitous violence, very dark humor, more blood than an ‘80s horror movie, and enough heat to fog up a window factory. This is book one in The Watch series. Each book follows a different couple.

She Kills

Some true crime stories are horrifying. Some are bizarre. Some make you pause and wonder what on earth was happening in that town, that house, or that person’s head. She Kills collects true crime cases centered on female perpetrators, from poisonings to murder-for-hire plots, all told through sharp, immersive reporting from longtime Texas Monthly writer Skip Hollandsworth. It’s a strong fit for readers who like true crime with vivid storytelling, strange real-life details, and cases that feel as unsettling as they are compulsively readable.

About the book
"I love Skip Hollandsworth. I love his extraordinary stories, I love his rabid curiosity, and I love that as a writer, he personifies toeing the line between horror, humor, and absurdity. I am inspired by every single character he has introduced us to. "—Laura Dern
A superb collection of true-crime stories—written by Texas Monthly’s legendary feature writer Skip Hollandsworth—that reminds us why America is perennially obsessed with the genre.
Skip Hollandsworth has been covering true crime since long before the podcasts, networks, and television shows discovered it. Raised in Texas, the revered journalist joined Texas Monthly in 1989, and the stories he has written over three-plus decades have helped define a locale and a culture.
Curated by Hollandsworth, She Kills brings together beloved stories that focus in particular on female perpetrators—from the high schooler who was so desperate to move back in with Mom that she had no choice but to poison her father’s refried beans, to the wallflower nurse in small-town Texas who one day started killing off her patients, to the lovelorn dental hygienist who ordered a hit on her rival.
These are expertly crafted tales that will stop readers in their tracks and leave them gasping with shock and pleasure. Each story is updated by Hollandsworth, who provides background on his original storytelling and new information on the perpetrators and victims, where available.
She Kills is a jaw-dropping, addictively readable compendium of women whose often sensational crimes and circumstances put them on the wrong side of the law.

A rookie detective with a buried past is forced to confront how much of the monster who shaped him still remains.
Blood on the Badge
Mystery · Thriller
Our take
A rookie detective with a buried past is forced to confront how much of the monster who shaped him still remains. In Blood on the Badge, Justice Hall is pulled into a high-pressure missing person case while a mutilation killer stalks young women and one devastating secret threatens to destroy everything. The story leans into dark psychology, hidden identity, and the uneasy line between survivor and villain.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Every villain has a story. Every hero, a dark past.
Justice Hall has secrets. His name is just the beginning.
Born as Timothy Stewart, this twenty-six-year-old rookie detective’s life took an unexpected turn when Justin Black, the serial killer known as The Disciple, brutally murdered his family and groomed him as a child. Out of the wreckage, little Tim reinvented himself, adopting a new identity that eerily echoes his malefactor’s name. A mere coincidence, or an indelible imprint of the past?
The truth remains buried within Justice. Even from himself.
Justice is certain of one thing, though. His most recent case needs to go cold...and quickly. The son of East Texas’s most beloved senator has disappeared, and the father is pressuring the Elmaeder County Sheriff’s Office to devote its full resources to the search. Justice disagrees. Not only are there more pressing cases to work—like a brutal killer mutilating young women—but he also harbors a secret about the missing man...
He’s buried beneath Justice’s own apple tree.
Blood on the Badge is book one of Mary Stone’s A Villain’s Story series, an enigmatic thriller that will convince you a picture’s worth a thousand words. Or the hallmark of a killer.

Disappearance at Devil’s Rock
Thriller · Horror · Occult Horror · Psychological Thriller · Supernatural Horror
Our take
A family spirals into grief and dread when a thirteen-year-old boy vanishes in the woods and strange signs begin to follow. In Disappearance at Devil’s Rock, a mother searching for answers is pulled deeper into ghostly sightings, torn journal pages, and the possibility that Tommy’s disappearance is tied to something far more sinister than anyone wants to believe. The story blends psychological horror with supernatural unease and mounting emotional devastation.
Choose your retailer
About the book
From Paul Tremblay, the author of A Head Full of Ghosts, comes a contemporary psychological suspense concerning a family shaken to its core after the mysterious disappearance of a teenage boy.
“A Head Full of Ghosts scared the living hell out of me, and I’m pretty hard to scare,” raved Stephen King about Paul Tremblay’s previous novel. Now, Tremblay returns with another disturbing tale sure to unsettle readers.
Late one summer night, Elizabeth Sanderson receives the devastating news that every mother fears: her thirteen-year-old son, Tommy, has vanished without a trace in the woods of a local park.
The search isn’t yielding any answers, and Elizabeth and her young daughter, Kate, struggle to comprehend Tommy’s disappearance. Feeling helpless and alone, their sorrow is compounded by anger and frustration: the local and state police have uncovered no leads. Josh and Luis, the friends who were the last to see Tommy before he vanished, may not be telling the whole truth about that night in Borderland State Park, when they were supposedly hanging out a landmark the local teens have renamed Devil’s Rock.
Living in an all-too-real nightmare, riddled with worry, pain, and guilt, Elizabeth is wholly unprepared for the strange series of events that follow. She believes a ghostly shadow of Tommy materializes in her bedroom, while Kate and other local residents claim to see a shadow peering through their windows in the dead of night. Then, random pages torn from Tommy’s journal begin to mysteriously appear—entries that reveal an introverted teenager obsessed with the phantasmagoric; the loss of his father, killed in a drunk-driving accident a decade earlier; a folktale involving the devil and the woods of Borderland; and a horrific incident that Tommy believed connects them.
As the search grows more desperate, and the implications of what happened become more haunting and sinister, no one is prepared for the shocking truth about that night and Tommy’s disappearance at Devil’s Rock.

A search for internet fame turns deadly when one man chases horror into caves and then onto Everest.
The White Road
Horror · Thriller · Psychological Thriller · Suspense
Our take
A search for internet fame turns deadly when one man chases horror into caves and then onto Everest. In The White Road, Simon survives one nightmare only to pursue another, drawn toward a decade-old tragedy and something far worse waiting in the Death Zone. The tension leans psychological and claustrophobic, with survival horror threaded through both earth and ice.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A cutting-edge thriller about one man's quest to discover horror lurking at the top of the world.
Desperate to attract subscribers to his fledgling website, 'Journey to the Dark Side', ex-adrenalin junkie and slacker Simon Newman hires someone to guide him through the notorious Cwm Pot caves, so that he can film the journey and put it on the internet. With a tragic history, Cwm Pot has been off-limits for decades, and unfortunately for Simon, the guide he's hired is as unpredictable and dangerous as the watery caverns that lurk beneath the earth. After a brutal struggle for survival, Simon barely escapes with his life, but predictably, the gruesome footage he managed to collect down in the earth's bowels goes viral.
Ignoring the warning signs of mental trauma, and eager to capitalize on his new internet fame, Simon latches onto another escapade that has that magic click-bait mix of danger and death: a trip to Everest. But up above 8000 feet, in the infamous Death Zone, he'll need more than his dubious morals and wits to guide him, especially when he uncovers the truth behind a decade-old tragedy -- a truth that means he might not be coming back alive. A truth that will change him -- and anyone who views the footage he captures -- forever.

About the book
Beloved author Kasie West's sparkling adult rom-com debut about a hopeless romantic falling for the one man she never expected
Can a swipe right turn into swept away?
Margot Hart is a hopeless romantic. That’s why she wants to be a literary agent—to help bring romance books to the world. It’s also why she hates dating apps with all her romance loving soul. She wants her own love story to be just as much fun as the books she reads—a mixed up coffee order, a mistaken identity. She’s not going to tell the story that she swiped right on future husband’s shirtless pic for the rest of her life.
The problem is that her most consistent relationship over the last several years is with Oliver, a guy she keeps rematching with on the apps. They’ve only been on one date and it was a disaster…well, until the make out session in the car before parting ways. But, she keeps reminding herself, a make out session does not a relationship make. And so there will not be a date two regardless of how witty their app banter is.
When Margot gets fired from her job on the same day she meets Oliver again, her life becomes a veritable shit show. Her dream career is dying right before her eyes, and Oliver thinks she’s interested in only one thing: a repeat of the hot make out session they had three years ago so she can get him out of her system. And maybe that is all she wants from him, because she and Oliver are definitely not compatible—he doesn’t hit the snooze button, he runs five miles every morning, he reads nonfiction, and worst of all, she didn’t meet him in cute way! But in her scramble to keep her dream career alive, by opening her own agency, Oliver is there with his golden retriever energy, more steady and helpful than any man she’s ever dated. Just when she thinks she’s overcome her app bias, she realizes that maybe it’s not her who’s holding back, but him. And his reasons are more than she bargained for.
Kasie West's romantic and sexy adult debut is full of witty banter, meet cutes gone awry and, ultimately, true love.

A Clash of Villains
Romantasy · Dark Fantasy
Our take
Hatred turns dangerous when revenge transforms a woman into the very monster she was raised to destroy. In A Clash of Villains, she enters a brutal werewolf academy ruled by power plays, buried secrets, and an ancient threat tied to her own fate. The dark romance at its center sharpens the tension, with betrayal, transformation, and a commander as dangerous as the world around him.
Choose your retailer
About the book
When two villains collide, the world doesn’t stand a chance—but neither do their hearts.
In a world of monsters, vengeance breeds villains.
For years, I burned with hatred for the creatures who ruled our realm, mourning the devastation they brought to my family. Revenge was my only purpose—until a reckless act of heroism turned me into the very thing I despised.
Now, I’m thrust into Lycora Training Academy, where werewolves are forged and power games reign supreme. It’s a battleground of secrets and betrayals, and I’m no stranger to fighting dirty. But as I navigate this savage new world, I uncover whispers of an ancient threat—one that could shatter everything. And somehow, I’m the key to its destruction… or its awakening.
Then there’s him. The brooding, arrogant Commander whose growl could unravel me and whose motives are as dark as his smirk. He’s dangerous, maddening, and utterly irresistible. But in a place where loyalty is a weapon and trust is a death sentence, I can’t afford to let my guard down—not for him, not for anyone.
In a clash of villains, the real question isn’t who’s the hero. It’s who will strike first.
A Clash of Villains—where love, power, and betrayal collide in a tale darker than the moonlit sky.
Perfect for fans of dark romantic fantasy, werewolf mythology, sassy and strong FMCs, and a hot, growling Commander who knows how to play dirty.

About the book
A novel of love and betrayal set during a cholera epidemic from the acclaimed British author of Of Human Bondage, "a great artist, a genius" (Theodore Dreiser).
"[Theodore Dreiser] is the modern writer who has influenced me the most." —George Orwell
Arriving in Hong Kong in the 1920s, newlywed Kitty Fane soon learns that being the wife of a British government bacteriologist gives her no particular social status. It only adds to her dissatisfaction with her life and her husband, Walter. Her marriage has been nothing but a mistake. But she soon embarks on an affair that transforms her very being. There is passion. There is hope. There is a future full of possibility.
When Walter must go deep into mainland China to help treat the victims of a cholera epidemic, Kitty refuses to accompany him. To force her hand, Walter threatens to expose her affair. But Kitty, sure in her lover's whispered promises, pushes for a divorce. Her impulsive decision will throw a stark light on the truth and her own desperate illusions, thrusting Kitty into unfamiliar territory—both in the world around her and the soul within . . .
The inspiration for the film starring Naomi Watts and Edward Norton, "The Painted Veil with its sadness, its moral tension, its irony and compassion, its building evocations of lust and terror and remorse is a work of art" (The Spectator).
"Reveals many of Maugham's strengths: an understanding of women, meticulous craftsmanship and raw emotion." —Daily Mail
"This short masterpiece tells of love, treachery, and a search for real substance in life." —DigBooks

Here After is a poetic, raw depiction of an unlikely love followed by a dizzying loss. A stunning, taut memoir from debut Canadian author Amy Lin that will resonate deeply with anyone who has been in grief’s grasp.
When he dies, I fall out of time.
Amy Lin never expected to find a love like the one she shares with her husband, Kurtis, a gifted young architect who pulls her toward joy, adventure, and greater self-acceptance. On a sweltering August morning, only a few months shy of the newlyweds’ move to Vancouver, thirty-two-year-old Kurtis heads out to run a half-marathon with Amy’s family. It is the last time she sees her husband alive.
What follows is a rich and unflinchingly honest account of her life with Kurtis and the vortex created by his death. Here After is an intimate story of deep love followed by dizzying loss; a memoir so finely etched that its power will remain with you long after the final page.

After the Sky Falls
Dark Romance · Romantasy · Teen + Young Adult
Our take
Every lifetime ends the same way: she kills the boy who cannot stop finding her. In After the Sky Falls, imperial assassin Ellas Valentin begins to question everything when her latest target claims to remember loving her across multiple lives. As rebellion spreads and fragments of past betrayals surface, this YA dark romantasy blends reincarnation, enemies-to-lovers tension, and dangerous secrets that challenge loyalty and fate.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Every life, he finds her. Every life, she kills him.
Ellas Valentin was forged into the empire's deadliest weapon, trained to obey, conditioned to feel nothing, loyal only to the crown that sharpened her into a blade. Mercy is weakness. Hesitation is death.
Until the boy she’s sent to assassinate looks at her like she’s his salvation.
Noct Seraph has died nine times. In every lifetime, he finds Ellas, the girl with the storm in her eyes and a blade at his throat. And in every lifetime, she forgets him.
This time, he refuses to die quietly. When Noct’s memories begin bleeding into Ellas’s mind—flashes of past betrayals, stolen kisses, and a love that always ends in blood—she realizes the empire has lied to her about more than just her enemies.
As rebellion ignites across the kingdom, Ellas must choose:
Remain the crown’s perfect assassin.
Or trust the boy who remembers loving her in every life… even the ones where she was the villain.
Perfect for fans of These Violent Delights and An Ember in the Ashes.
