Sponsored by A Single Light—the gripping sequel to The Line Between by New York Times bestselling author Tosca Lee.
Six months after vanishing into an underground silo with sixty others, cult escapee Wynter Roth and ex-soldier Chase Miller emerge to find the area abandoned by the people Wynter was counting on to help locate medicine their gravely ill friend, Julie, needs in order to live. As hope fades by the hour and Wynter learns the terrible truth of the last six months, she is called upon once again to help save a nation she no longer recognizes—a place so dark she’s no longer sure it can even survive. “A breathless thriller of non-stop suspense.” -Bookreporter

For $0.99 you can read about an Indian PI–and his baby elephant!!–as he solves crimes: Bad Day at the Vulture Club (Baby Ganesh Agency #5) by Vaseem Khan
If you’re looking for an October read that’s a thriller with horror vibes: Perfect Days by Raphael Montes is $6.99 and I still shudder thinking about one scene. (Review) (I don’t remember the trigger warnings but dude kidnaps woman he likes to force her to like him.)
A Bit Of My Week In Reading
Currently reading: The Furies by Katie Lowe which feels like a perfect choice with October a blink away since witchcraft and vengeance seem to be a main focus. Now Entering Addamsville by Francesca Zappia is one I’m pretty sure I’ll be inhaling this weekend since the voice is amazing from the first page. And Chilling Effect by Valerie Valdes is my mystery break and it’s a fantastic novel about a space crew whose captain’s sister gets kidnapped. There’s naughty psychic kittens, Spanglish, and the main character swears like a sailor–I love it so much.
Finished reading: Remember by Patricia Shane Smith starts with a mystery of a character that doesn’t remember nor know where she is and takes you back to the lead up and into her life as a woman living with panic disorder and agoraphobia, grieving the death of her mother and sister. This was a page-turner for me that did not make mental illness the boogieman the way the crime genre unfortunately does a lot. (TW alcoholism/ social anxiety and panic attacks on page, agoraphobia/ PTSD/ past suicide mentioned)
Acquired and excited: The Ninja Daughter by Tori Eldridge and all I needed to be excited for this is the title and knowing that it’s the third to be published by Agora Books. And Darling Rose Gold by Stephanie Wrobel landed on my doorstep with the blurb “Sharp Objects meets Misery” and yes, please, thank you, more.
