Happy Friday! Check out these forthcoming books raking in the starred reviews:
OBSESSION FALLS by Christina Dodd (The Virtue Falls series)
“After wowing both mystery and romance readers with VIRTUE FALLS, Dodd delivers another white-knuckle tale of romantic suspense that moves her even closer to the thriller end of the literary spectrum. The plot’s twists and turns are handled with a positively Hitchcockian touch, while the brilliantly etched characters, polished writing, and unexpected flashes of sharp humor are pure Dodd.” — Booklist, starred review
“Stunning description, startling violence, nonstop action, and an inventive plot drive this riveting Native American lore-infused page-turner. With a gritty, resourceful heroine, a whip-smart, determined hero, and an equally dazzling miscreant, this one is impossible to put down. A remarkable, mesmerizing series.” — Library Journal, starred review
FUTURISTIC VIOLENCE AND FANCY SUITS by David Wong
“The day that barista Zoey Ashe inherits a fortune from her estranged billionaire father, she also earns a high-dollar contract on her head and a prime spot in the middle of a futuristic Mob war. Well-timed humor and explosive thrills, a smart backbone, and witty wordsmithing make this new release by Cracked.com’s pseudonym-wielding Jason Pargin (JOHN DIES AT THE END) as fun as it gets. Steer this one toward readers of SF with a sense of humor, and fans of Max Barry’s satirical futuristic novels.” — Booklist, starred review
“Cracked.com executive editor Wong (THIS BOOK IS FULL OF SPIDERS) unabashedly trolls everyone and lampoons everything in this beautifully outrageous science fiction adventure. Biting humor and blatant digs at modern society overlay a subtly brilliant and thoughtful plot focused on one young woman’s growth and survival against all odds.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review
THE BIG GREEN TENT by Ludmila Ulitskaya
“For Western readers, the novel’s sparkling imagery makes real the drab and dangerous Soviet era, with its scarcities and constant presence of the KGB. The characters are drawn with humor and melancholy yet endowed with hope and a love of literature. A great introduction for readers new to Ulitskaya.” — Library Journal, starred review
“A sweeping novel of life in the Cold War Soviet Union, with plenty between the lines about life in Putin’s Russia today… [THE BIG GREEN TENT] harbors epic intentions and ambitions, spanning years and lifetimes and treating the largest possible themes. The novel is impressively vast in scope and commodious in shape… The greatest tragedy of Ulitskaya’s story is that it comes to an end. Worthy of shelving alongside Doctor Zhivago: memorable and moving.” — Kirkus Reviews, starred review
