Romeo and Juliet retelling set in 1920’s Shanghai THAT ALSO involves a deadly plague causing people to rip out their own throats? Yes. Yes please. Absolutely yes. If you need me, I’ll be manifesting enough psychic energy to astral project directly into my local Barnes and Noble five months into the future when the sequel drops.

Utterly obsessed with this murder-thriller-comedy-romance (oh my!) about a single mother and romance author who is mistaken for a hitwoman/hired gun after someone overhears and misinterprets a conversation she has in a Panera Bread restaurant. I binged the whole thing in an afternoon/evening and didn’t get to sleep until 2AM when I finally finished. I absolutely cannot wait for the sequel!

I’m honestly obsessed with the cover of this YA horror by Katrina Leno. It follows a teenage girl who moves into her mother’s childhood home after the sudden death of her father, only to discover that the house might, in fact, be haunted. While this wasn’t a new favorite book by any means (I think I’ll be sticking with more adult horror—YA horror/thrillers rarely have high enough tension for me), I don’t think anyone can deny that the dust jacket is absolutely fabulous.

book 102 was a masterfully done social thriller that had me on the edge of my seat all day. it follows a neighborhood in NY whose many residents begin disappearing within the span of a week after a new scientific research facility begins construction just a few blocks away, and interweaves conversations of gentrification, "polite racism", police brutality into its horror/mystery narrative. definitely a must read that I'd recommend to anyone.

noooo, I said. I'll never get into long fantasy series, I said. what an unnecessary time commitment, I said.

450 pages of pure slow-building terror. an ancient aliens-esque documentary crew sets sail to film a fake "tv special" about mermaids, only to find out they're horrifyingly real deep-sea monstrosities, the apex predators of the ocean. after this and max brook's "devolution" and stephen graham jones's "the only good indians" I think creature horror is my new favorite subgenre!
