Blake Porter was abruptly fired from work and is struggling to pay the mortgage on a new brownstone. He is desperate. Enter Whitney: beautiful, charming, and coincidentally needs a room to rent—the perfect solution. Or is she? Strange things start happening. A foul smell lingers no matter how much Blake scrubs. Unsettling noises jolt him awake, and someone seems to know his darkest secrets. By the time he realizes the truth, the trap is already set.
2. The Never List
By Jade Presley
In this instant New York Times best-selling romantasy, a young woman enters the Choosing wearing a stranger’s face, determined to uncover the truth about her lost sister. But her plan to manipulate and survive unravels when she draws the attention of four dangerously powerful princes—primal monsters cloaked in crowns. They watch her like prey, and their magic coils around hers like a promise. There’s no escape or salvation, and each man wants to break her in their own way.
3. That’s Not My Name
By Megan Lally
This Goodreads Choice Award nominee and New York Times best-selling thriller follows the story of a girl who wakes up on the side of a dirt road bruised and with no memory of how she got there––or who she is. At the police station, a man arrives with family photos and identification documents. He is her father. Her name is Mary. Or so he says. Tense, twisty, and impossible to put down, this gripping story is perfect for fans of Natalie D. Richards and Vincent Ralph.
4. All Systems Red
In a corporate-controlled future, a team of scientists are accompanied by a Company-assigned security android. But this isn’t just any android. It has hacked its own governor module and calls itself—privately—Murderbot. The self-aware SecUnit wants nothing more than to be left alone. But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it’s up to the scientists to get to the truth. This science fiction adventure, All Systems Red, is being adapted for TV in the upcoming series Murderbot, is a New York Times and USA Today best seller, earned Hugo and Nebula awards, and is an Amazon Books Editors’ Pick.
5. When the World Fell Silent
Written by internationally best-selling author Donna Jones Alward, this story features the intertwined lives of two women navigating loss, hope, and redemption amid the aftermath of the 1917 Halifax Explosion. Nora Crowell, a lieutenant in the Canadian Army Nursing Corps, yearns for more than a life as a wife and mother. She crosses paths with newly widowed Charlotte Campbell, who clings to her baby while enduring the cold charity of her late husband’s family. When tragedy strikes in Halifax Harbour, nothing for these two women will ever be the same again. Their paths will cross in the most unexpected way, trailing both heartbreak and joy in its wake.
6. In Five Years
Where do you see yourself in five years? Dannie Kohan has her life meticulously planned: a career, fiancé, and bright future. But everything changes when she wakes up in a different apartment, wearing a different ring, next to a man she’s never met. It’s just one hour, five years in the future ... yet she cannot shake it off. Poignant and thought-provoking, In Five Years is a beautifully unexpected love story about friendship, fate, and the moments that can change everything. This New York Times best seller is an Amazon Books Editors’ Pick and book-club favorite from Good Morning America and Marie Claire.
7. My Funny Demon Valentine
An instant New York Times best seller, this sizzling urban fantasy follows a jazz-loving Prince of Hell and a beautiful violinist who sees past his curse.

Fed up with Hell’s rules, he escapes to Earth with his brothers and finds unexpected harmony in Eva, a violinist who might be the only one who truly sees him. But when she uncovers his demonic identity, Eva is swept into a whirlwind of supernatural complications and secrets. Needless to say, the path to love can be complete Hell.
8. Diavola
Jennifer Thorne’s Diavola delivers a sharp twist on the classic haunted-house story. This USA Today best seller and Amazon Books Editors’ Pick explores loneliness, belonging, and the seemingly inescapable bonds of family mythology. Anna follows two rules for the annual Pace family destination vacations: tread lightly and survive. But what starts as a typical tension-filled holiday unravels into something more sinister.

10. Long Time Gone
When DNA results reveal a disturbing connection to the mysterious disappearance of a famous baby nearly three decades ago, a woman’s search for answers draws her to an ominous small town in Nevada and a dangerous web of corruption, power, and lies.
