Samantha’s Pick: THE PRISONER by B.A. Paris | 9781250274144 | 11/1/22

There are few thriller tropes I like more than a trapped room/enclosed space one and B.A. Paris always knows how to make readers feel as if they are right there in the claustrophobic places with her characters. THE PRISONER has just that with a protagonist who feels literally trapped after her kidnapping…but, somehow, less trapped than she did back in the real world in her marriage to a powerful, wealthy man.

Margo’s Pick: THE RESEMBLANCE by Lauren Nossett | 9781250843241 | 11/8/22

There’s nothing I love more than a book set on a college campus! Told from the perspective of a detective who detests fraternities, THE RESEMBLANCE dives deep into the hidden secrets of a Southern college’s Greek life system, all while uncovering the truth about a homicide that took place on the school’s grounds. This book is sure to be a hit for fans of campus thrillers, dark academia, and all things THE SECRET HISTORY.
