From New York Times bestselling author of the “twisty-mystery” (Vulture) novel In a Dark, Dark Wood, comes The Woman in Cabin 10, an equally suspenseful and haunting novel from Ruth Ware—this time, set at sea.
Andrea, Digital Marketing Associate: I’m currently re-reading Kim Harrison’s The Drafter before I dig into the second book in the series, The Operator. I love any story line that involves time travel, and Peri Reed is the epitome of strong kick-ass female protagonist that readers all love and need. I’m falling in love with these characters all over again and am picking up on details I missed the first time around. Bonus: the prequel novella Sideswiped is included in the mass market paperback (which I had previously not read).
Siobhan, Editorial: I’ve stepped beyond my normal
reading horizon and have been reading Jasper Forde’s dystopian novel, Shades
of Grey—and no, it’s nothing like Fifty Shades of Grey. It’s
a fun and highly weird tale set in a futuristic world where all aspects of
society are ruled by the colours you can and cannot see. I’ve only just dipped
in, but it’s been a treat so far!
Jordyn, Sales Operations Assistant: I just finished The Hating Game,
by Sally Thorne, which is a steamy romance novel featuring two coworkers who
totally hate each other. It’s hard to find a good love/hate relationship book
because the transition from hating to dating can be easily unbelievable. This
book, however, totally nails it! I love the intensity between Lucy and Josh,
and while the sexy stuff is slow-burning, there are quite a few lines in there
that make you pause and say “daaaaamn”. I’m not going to lie; I had to take a
water break at a couple points. Highly recommend!
