About the book
Olivia Twist is an innovative reimagining of Charles Dickens' classic tale Oliver Twist, in which Olivia was forced to live as a boy for her own safety until she was rescued from the streets. Now eighteen, Olivia finds herself at a crossroads: revealed secrets threaten to destroy the "proper" life she has built for herself, while newfound feelings for an arrogant young man she shouldn't like could derail her carefully laid plans for the future.
Olivia Brownlow is no damsel in distress. Born in a workhouse and raised as a boy among thieving London street gangs, she is as tough and cunning as they come. When she is taken in by her uncle after a caper gone wrong, her life goes from fighting and stealing on the streets to lavish dinners and soirees as a debutante in high society. But she can’t seem to escape her past … or forget the teeming slums where children just like her still scrabble to survive.
Jack MacCarron rose from his place in London's East End to become the adopted "nephew" of a society matron. Little does society know that MacCarron is a false name for a boy once known among London gangs as the Artful Dodger, and that he and his “aunt” are robbing them blind every chance they get. When Jack encounters Olivia Brownlow in places he least expects, his curiosity is piqued. Why is a society girl helping a bunch of homeless orphan thieves? Even more intriguing, why does she remind him so much of someone he once knew? Jack finds himself wondering if going legit and risking it all might be worth it for love.

A school reunion is bad enough without your best friend’s remains turning up under the demolition site.
The Reunion
Mystery · Thriller
Our take
A school reunion is bad enough without your best friend’s remains turning up under the demolition site. In The Reunion, police officer Jennie Whitmore returns to White Cross Academy hoping to survive one miserable night of old ghosts and worse people, only to discover that Hannah, the friend she thought vanished decades ago, was murdered instead. What follows is a tense, twisty investigation tangled up with buried secrets, personal history, and someone who would very much like Jennie to stop digging.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A skull looks up at Jennie from the trench, but it's not the chalk-white bone and grimacing teeth that send her reeling. It's the heart-shaped gold pendant, its delicate chain snapped in two. The necklace Hannah never took off. It can't be Hannah. But it is.
When Jennie Whitmore arrives at her school reunion, she immediately regrets her decision. Why would she choose to surround herself with people who were never nice to her? Who still aren't, even now she's a police officer? The only person who truly looked out for her all those years ago was charming, beautiful Hannah. Until the day she disappeared.
Jennie is ready to finally put White Cross Academy behind her, the old school building demolished the morning after the party. But with the demolition comes a call: a teenage girl's remains have been found on the grounds.
The instant drop in Jennie's gut tells her that the remains might be Hannah's, but when she's called in to examine them, the truth becomes undeniable. Hannah didn't run away and abandon Jennie thirty years ago; in fact, she never left White Cross at all.
Suddenly, Jennie has a murder to solve. The murder of her best friend. But can she do so before her colleagues discover just how closely connected she is to the victim? Before a mystery stalker makes good on his threats to silence her for good?
The Reunion is a gripping mystery perfect for fans of THE SANATORIUM, Lucy Foley, and Ruth Kelly.

Savage Rogue
Horror · Suspense
Our take
Something brutal is stalking the woods outside Enrick, Wyoming, and Special Agent Nicole Beretti knows better than to buy the easy explanation. In Savage Rogue, a string of savage killings pulls Beretti and her partner into a town already cracking under fear, where a useless sheriff, a twitchy posse, and a predator no one understands make every move more dangerous. A fast-moving thriller with cryptid horror energy, rising tension, and a heroine thrown straight into the kind of nightmare locals are already making worse.

About the book
Savage Rogue kicks off a thrilling new series starring Special Agent Nicole Beretti, a fan favorite from the popular Night of the Dogman series. Called to the remote town of Enrick, Wyoming, Beretti and her partner, Special Agent Noah Jacobi, are drawn into a dark mystery after Chief Deputy Perry requests federal help to handle a series of brutal, animal-like killings. Although the local coroner suspects a large wolf, Beretti knows there's more lurking in the woods, more than anyone in Enrick is prepared for.
Amid the terror, an indifferent and lazy Sheriff Becan has allowed fear to fester, driving restless locals to form a dangerous, self-appointed posse, ready to act without a clear plan or understanding of the threat they face. Now, Beretti and Jacobi must tread carefully as they investigate, navigating the tension between the reckless vigilantes and the ominous, unknown predator hiding in the darkness.

Vexing Vampires
Thriller · Suspense · Urban Fantasy
Our take
A vampire attack at a Detroit festival is bad enough, but things get messier fast when Luna Thorn learns the bloodsuckers are carrying an ancient disease that should not even exist anymore. Vexing Vampires throws her into a chaos of infected victims, suspicious cures, resurfacing memories, and one deeply unwelcome vampire claiming they were once passionately in love. Which sounds romantic until you remember he also seems like a walking red flag with fangs.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Luna Thorn’s past keeps coming back to bite her … and in a very uncomfortable place. Now that she can access her magic easily, her memories are on the menu.
There’s just one little problem.
A night out at a Detroit festival turns into a feeding frenzy as a nest of vampires descends and attacks. Luna manages to call for help and fight them off, but it becomes apparent soon after that the vampires were sick. And not just with any illness, but with one that was eradicated centuries before.
What’s worse, all of the people injured during the attack are now infected.
A mysterious vampire with a cure shows up claiming ties to a family friend. His name is Rafael, and he may or may not know something important. Luna barely has time to deal with that when another vampire appears. This one is full of pomp and circumstance, and he claims a past with Luna.
According to Roman Blackstone, Luna spent her missing years with him, and they were desperately, passionately, and forever in love. Luna doesn’t believe that was possible because not only is he a pompous, overblown windbag, but he’s also a creeper with a dark and bloody past.
Multiple timelines are about to collide in Detroit, and Luna won’t be the only one in danger. The people she loves are about to be threatened.
Just who will come out victorious?

"I was knocked over by the momentum of an intense psychological thriller that doesn’t let go until the final page. This is a terrific read." – Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author
*A Marie Claire Book Club Pick*
Rear Window meets Get Out in this gripping psychological thriller from a critically acclaimed and New York Times Notable author, a suspenseful novel of social commentary where the gentrification of a Brooklyn neighborhood takes on a sinister new meaning…
Sydney Green is Brooklyn born and raised, but her beloved neighborhood seems to change every time she blinks. Condos are sprouting like weeds, FOR SALE signs are popping up overnight, and the neighbors she’s known all her life are disappearing. To hold onto her community’s past and present, Sydney channels her frustration into a walking tour and finds an unlikely and unwanted assistant in one of the new arrivals to the block—her neighbor Theo.
But Sydney and Theo’s deep dive into history quickly becomes a dizzying descent into paranoia and fear. Their neighbors may not have moved to the suburbs after all, and the push to revitalize the community may be more deadly than advertised.
When does coincidence become conspiracy? Where do people go when gentrification pushes them out? Can Sydney and Theo trust each other—or themselves—long enough to find out before they too disappear?

The Seventh Sister

Our take
Seven sisters, a remote forest island, dead parents, old rituals, and a god that should have stayed forgotten. The Seventh Sister has all the ingredients for a deeply bad homecoming, which is exactly what makes it so appealing. Dawn Kurtagich leans into grief, isolation, childhood belief, and the rot at the center of sisterhood to build a folk horror story that feels eerie, intimate, and increasingly unhinged in the best way. This fits horror readers who love ominous woods, strange devotion, fractured families, and stories where trauma grows roots and starts whispering back.

About the book
From the author of The Madness comes a haunting folk horror fable of lost sisters, old gods, and the terrible power of belief left to rot in the woods.
After the tragic death of their parents, the seven Ward sisters are sent to live with their grandmother on the remote forest island of Beltane, a place suspended between time and shadow. What begins as an attempt to mend their fractured lives soon twists into a waking nightmare, where grief bleeds into childhood fantasy and ancient rites awaken a dark and eerie devotion to Daudir, the Forgotten God of the Wood.
When another cruel tragedy strikes, the sisters are left to fend for themselves, learning to live with death as a constant, lurking presence. The fragile world they’ve carved splinters beneath the weight of isolation, and the forest around them grows restless…
Years later, a cryptic letter summons the surviving sisters home. Drawn back into the wild embrace of their dangerous faith, they confront a truth more terrible than memory, and the dreadful secret that waits, silent and sentient, in the depths of the all-seeing trees.
This lyrical and haunting folk horror explores how trauma can root itself in the soil of childhood, how love can curdle into obsession, and how gods, especially forgotten ones, never stay buried for long. But at its heart, it’s about sisters: how they fracture, survive, return, and reckon with what they’ve made together.

About the book
What if you could live again and again, until you got it right? On a cold and snowy night in 1910, Ursula Todd is born to an English banker and his wife. She dies before she can draw her first breath. On that same cold and snowy night, Ursula Todd is born, lets out a lusty wail, and embarks upon a life that will be, to say the least, unusual. For as she grows, she also dies, repeatedly, in a variety of ways, while the young century marches on towards its second cataclysmic world war. Does Ursula's apparently infinite number of lives give her the power to save the world from its inevitable destiny? And if she can -- will she? Darkly comic, startlingly poignant, and utterly original: this is Kate Atkinson at her absolute best.
