EXTINCTION BY DOUGLAS PRESTON | 9780765317704 | 4/23/24

2 starred reviews!

“The action seldom lets up, and readers will feel the mounting tension and excitement. The setting itself is a scientific wonder, and it must tie into the murders somehow… Science, imagination, storytelling, and action are all here. Fast-moving fun and a highly creative plot.”–Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“Preston tweaks the ‘resurrected species go haywire’ trope with a series of ingenious plot twists, and his well-rounded characters make this more than a knowing genre exercise. The results are…smart and spine-chilling.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review

GHOST STATION BY S.A. BARNES | 9781250884923 | 4/9/24

“Fans of the original Alien film will enjoy this tense psychological-horror story set in a far-flung future as the crew tries to solve the mystery of this abandoned mission while navigating the atrocities of their corporate employer, which they know all too well.”–Booklist

LATE BLOOMER BY MAZEY EDDINGS | 9781250847089 | 4/16/24 

“Both strong-willed, neurodivergent, and bisexual, the heroines are sure to charm… The silliness and levity perfectly balances the plot’s more serious elements, with a memorable hair dye mishap providing some especially good guffaws. Readers will luxuriate in the loving bond these women build together.”–Publishers Weekly

DARLING GIRLS BY SALLY HEPWORTH | 9781250284525 | 4/23/24

“As in THE SOULMATE, compelling themes of trust, betrayal, and brittle façades circle the sisters’ relationships, raising the stakes of the investigation painfully high. Hepworth’s fans will be primed for her newest unnerving thriller.”–Booklist
