The Mistake
John Logan broke Grace Ivers’s trust once. The Mistake spends a full senior year watching him try to earn it back, and it’s every bit as swoony and messy as a good sports romance should be.
A Discovery of Witches (All Souls Trilogy, #1)
A Discovery of Witches is the kind of book that creates a whole world and then makes you ache to live in it. Deborah Harkness weaves scholarship, magic, and slow-burn romance into something genuinely unlike anything else in the paranormal genre. Recommended for readers who love literary fantasy with depth.
Maybe in Another Life
Maybe in Another Life is Taylor Jenkins Reid playing with structure in interesting ways — but the novel's formal cleverness outpaces its emotional depth, which isn't typical for her.
The God of the Woods
The God of the Woods is the kind of mystery that earns the "literary" label honestly — layered, ambitious, and more interested in what disappearance reveals about the living than in easy resolution.
These Summer Storms
Sarah MacLean brings her signature sharpness to contemporary fiction and it suits her perfectly — These Summer Storms is a glittering, thorny family drama I couldn't put down.
It's Not Her
Mary Kubica at her most propulsive; It's Not Her is a tightly wound thriller that doesn't let you go, building to a reveal that recontextualizes everything you thought you knew.
You Know Why
J.T. Ellison delivers another suspenseful thriller in You Know Why, a novel filled with secrets, betrayals, and unexpected twists that keep the story moving at a steady pace. As Brooklyn Locke searches for answers following her husband's disappearance, long-buried secrets begin to surface, leading to a mystery that kept me turning pages to see how all the pieces would fit together.
In Your Dreams
In Your Dreams is exactly the kind of comfort romance the When in Rome series has always done well — warm, small-town, and genuinely sweet, even if it doesn't push beyond that.
Two Twisted Crowns (The Shepherd King, #2)
Two Twisted Crowns deepens the gothic world of The Shepherd King duology — but the Nightmare's grip on Elspeth is both the book's greatest strength and its source of tension in ways not all readers will find satisfying.
City of Iron and Ivy
A promising romantasy debut with a genuinely original premise — botanical magic, dark academia, and a murder investigation wrapped in Bridgerton aesthetics. The ambition is real, even if the execution isn't quite there yet.
One Dark Window (The Shepherd King, #1)
One Dark Window is the gothic fantasy I didn't know I needed — moody, original, and anchored by one of the most unsettling character dynamics I've read in years.
Birds of a Feather: The Secrets of a Knight (The Ravenhood Legacy #3)
Kate Stewart closes out the Ravenhood Legacy with everything the series promised — big emotions, complex characters, and a romance that earns every complicated beat.
Our Perfect Storm
Carley Fortune has a gift for quiet devastation wrapped in gorgeous settings — Our Perfect Storm is the kind of romance that sneaks up on you, emotionally, like weather rolling in off the water.
This Story Might Save Your Life
Tiffany Crum's debut thriller is a sharp, propulsive read about fame, friendship, and the stories we tell to protect ourselves… and what happens when those stories collide.
Clean Slate
Clean Slate introduces Olive Hunt, a crime scene cleaner who’s seen every kind of death imaginable — until a string of staged murders starts leaving her strange, personal calling cards.
The Teacher
Freida McFadden delivers another propulsive, twist-laden thriller — The Teacher moves fast, keeps its cards close, and earns its reveal, even if it's not her most emotionally resonant work.
The Last Letter
The Last Letter is the kind of romance that leaves a mark. Tender and devastating in equal measure, built on a premise that should wreck you, and does.
Scot and Bothered
A swoony, slow-burn romance with humor, heart, and a strong sense of place. Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers stories set in cozy, scenic villages.
