About the book
A family tragedy. A crumbling orphanage. A photo album full of impossible children.
When sixteen-year-old Jacob travels to a remote island off the coast of Wales, he expects answers about his grandfather’s past. What he finds instead are the ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children—and the lingering mystery of the strange kids who once lived there.
These children weren’t just quirky. They bent the laws of nature, terrified the locals, and may have vanished for reasons no one dares to explain. Or maybe they never left at all.
Told through eerie vintage photographs and a haunting narrative, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a spellbinding fantasy adventure perfect for readers who like their stories shadowy, strange, and just a little dangerous.

Occult Horror · Horror
Our take
What if Christmas never ended—and turned into a nightmare? Joe Hill’s NOS4A2 is a chilling, wildly imaginative horror tale with 4.4 Amazon stars and a hit AMC series. A haunted car, a psychic bridge, and a mother’s fight against a soul-stealing madman—this is supernatural suspense with teeth. Time called it “a masterwork of horror.”

About the book
The spine-tingling, bone-chilling novel of supernatural suspense from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fireman and Horns—now an AMC original series starring Zachary Quinto, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Ashleigh Cummings.
"A masterwork of horror."—Time
Victoria McQueen has an uncanny knack for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. When she rides her bicycle over the rickety old covered bridge in the woods near her house, she always emerges in the places she needs to be.
Charles Talent Manx has a gift of his own. He likes to take children for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the vanity plate NOS4A2. In the Wraith, he and his innocent guests can slip out of the everyday world and onto hidden roads that lead to an astonishing playground of amusements he calls Christmasland. The journey across the highway of Charlie's twisted imagination transforms his precious passengers, leaving them as terrifying and unstoppable as their benefactor.
Then comes the day when Vic goes looking for trouble...and finds her way to Charlie. That was a lifetime ago. Now, the only kid ever to escape Charlie's evil is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx hasn't stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. On the road again, he won't slow down until he's taken his revenge. He's after something very special—something Vic can never replace.
As a life-and-death battle of wills builds, Vic McQueen prepares to destroy Charlie once and for all—or die trying.

The Striker
Romance
Our take
Forbidden sparks fly in Ana Huang’s The Striker, where a ballerina-turned-trainer and the world’s hottest footballer collide in a dangerously steamy brother’s rival romance. An Editors’ Pick and one of 2024’s Best Books of the Year, this slow-burn standalone packs heart, heat, and 4.2 Amazon stars. Warning: chemistry levels are illegal in several countries.

About the book
He’s football royalty. She’s ballet royalty. Too bad she’s also his rival’s sister.
Asher Donovan might be the greatest striker in the game—but after wrecking a championship with his teammate-turned-enemy, he's sentenced to off-season “bonding.” Enter Scarlett DuBois: brilliant, beautiful, and totally off-limits.
Once a prima ballerina, now a trainer with a painful past, Scarlett wants nothing to do with arrogant athletes—especially not her brother’s nemesis. But when her brother leaves town and Asher becomes her responsibility, things get… complicated.
The tension? Off the charts. The chemistry? Dangerous. The rules? About to be broken.
Scarlett swore she’d never fall for a footballer. Asher swore he’d keep things professional.
Oops.
Ana Huang’s The Striker is a steamy, slow-burn brother’s rival romance that does not play fair.

A war orphan with godlike power.
The Poppy War
Fantasy · Coming of Age · Dark Fantasy
Our take
A war orphan with godlike power. A military academy steeped in cruelty. A war that demands everything. The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang is a searing fantasy inspired by modern Chinese history. With 4.6 stars on Amazon and named one of Time’s 100 Best Fantasy Books, this debut blends dark magic, strategy, and vengeance into something unforgettable.
Choose your retailer
About the book
When war orphan Rin aces the Empire’s most competitive test, she earns a place at Sinegard, Nikan’s elite military academy. No one expects a dark-skinned girl from the provinces to succeed—not her corrupt guardians, not her wealthy classmates, and certainly not Rin herself.
But Rin is hiding something deeper than ambition. She has a gift for shamanism, a near-mythical power tied to the god of vengeance. While others study warfare with swords and strategy, Rin walks among gods and confronts a rising storm no one else can see.
As whispers of a Third Poppy War grow louder, Rin faces a brutal truth. Saving her nation may cost more than her life. It may cost her soul.
Epic, violent, and unflinchingly bold, The Poppy War is modern fantasy at its fiercest.

About the book
PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • Named a Top 10 Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, Slate, and People
One of Barack Obama's Favorite Books of 2023
“Brave and nuanced . . . an act of tremendous compassion and a literary triumph.” —The New York Times
“Immensely emotional and unforgettably haunting.” —The Wall Street Journal
Acclaimed author Jonathan Rosen’s haunting investigation of the forces that led his closest childhood friend, Michael Laudor, from the heights of brilliant promise to the forensic psychiatric hospital where he has lived since killing the woman he loved. A story about friendship, love, and the price of self-delusion, The Best Minds explores the ways in which we understand—and fail to understand—mental illness.
When the Rosens moved to New Rochelle in 1973, Jonathan Rosen and Michael Laudor became inseparable. Both children of college professors, the boys were best friends and keen competitors, and, when they both got into Yale University, seemed set to join the American meritocratic elite.
Michael blazed through college in three years, graduating summa cum laude and landing a top-flight consulting job. But all wasn’t as it seemed. One day, Jonathan received the call: Michael had suffered a serious psychotic break and was in the locked ward of a psychiatric hospital.
Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, Michael was still battling delusions when he traded his halfway house for Yale Law School. Featured in The New York Times as a role model genius, he sold a memoir, with film rights to Ron Howard. But then Michael, in the grip of an unshakeable paranoid fantasy, stabbed his girlfriend Carrie to death and became a front-page story of an entirely different sort.
Tender, funny, and harrowing by turns, The Best Minds is Jonathan Rosen’s magnificent and heartbreaking account of good intentions and tragic outcomes whose significance will echo widely.

About the book
Something ancient has awoken—and it's starving.
After a harsh winter in the Wyoming wilderness, a prehistoric predator resurfaces, more aggressive and cunning than any known beast. Its new hunting ground? The quiet town of Pine Creek.
Game warden Jim Wendell thought he’d seen it all. But this isn’t just a rogue grizzly—it’s bigger, faster, and disturbingly intelligent. As mutilated bodies begin piling up, Jim realizes he’s not tracking an animal. He’s being hunted by something far worse.
With no backup and time slipping away, Jim must outsmart a predator that shouldn’t exist. Locals are vanishing. The creature is evolving. And survival might mean confronting a terror that predates civilization itself.
What happens when the apex predator… isn’t human?
