I've seen 'The Only One Left' by Riley Sager getting a lot of attention. It’s about a mute woman who holds the keys to a long-ago crime. I’m drawn to novels that explore multiple perspectives, and this one promises to deliver. Pregnancy, trauma, and buried secrets all interweave into the narrative! Plus, there's a gothic vibe which is just perfect for a chilly evening. It's definitely on my to-read list!

Just last week, I stumbled upon a few new crime novels that have gripped my attention! One title that stands out is 'The Last Word' by Taylor Adams. It's a psychological thriller that plays with the idea of an isolated house and an enigmatic neighbor. Imagine being stuck in a snowstorm, cut off from the world, and then discovering chilling secrets lurking right next door. Adams has a knack for building suspense. I devoured it in a day because I simply couldn't put it down!
Then there’s 'None of This is True' by Lisa Jewell. This story unfolds around a podcaster who decides to investigate a stranger’s life and uncovers secrets that spiral into a whirlwind of danger and deceit. There's something fascinating about how Jewell crafts her characters' backstories; it keeps you hooked. Reading this was like being on a rollercoaster - thrilling and immersive!
I've also seen buzz for 'The Only One Left' by Riley Sager, known for his knack for twisting narratives. It revolves around a home caretaker who takes care of a mute woman accused of a notorious crime decades ago. The tension and faith in different viewpoints make these twists even more engaging! This is definitely one for the thriller lovers out there.

A recent title that’s been making waves is 'None of This is True' by Lisa Jewell. The concept of a podcaster diving into the life of a stranger has my mind racing! It’s such a unique twist that feels relevant with our digital age fascination. The relationships between the characters are nuanced and messy, which is a breath of fresh air in crime fiction. I mean, how many times do we see similar tropes? This one feels different and raw, and I’m all in for the ride!

One of the novels hyped this month is 'The Last Word' by Taylor Adams, and having read a few of his previous works, I was really excited to dive into this one! The isolation theme is so well-timed for some good winter reading. I appreciate stories that delve deep into human psychology, and it sounds like this one nails that aspect brilliantly. Can’t wait for cozy nights spent reading this thriller!

What caught my eye in crime fiction this month was 'The Only One Left' by Riley Sager. It’s intriguing how the past plays into the present in this story. Set in the 1980s, it features a caretaker who must unravel the mysteries of her employer's dark history. The shift between timelines keeps it fresh and exciting. Also, the suspense builds wonderfully throughout. I love that this author tends to keep us on our toes with unexpected character actions!

I found out my husband of three years had cheated on me and his mistress is the one who told me—because he didn’t have the balls to do it himself.
I move out and get a new apartment, a job as a bartender, and try to move on with a broken heart. I wonder where it all went wrong, if I hadn’t been enough for him, if I’d been stupid for marrying him in the first place.
I’m at work one night when he walks inside—the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. He sits at the bar and a forest fire burns between us. I was depressed the moment before he entered, but the second I look at his blue eyes, I forget the dumpster fire that my life has become. I invite him back to my place and it’s the most passionate night of my life. I expect to never see him again.
I just want him as an anti-depressant—but he wants me all to himself. I just got my heart ripped out of my chest so I want something easy and no-strings-attached, but he wants all the strings because he’s hooked.
I don’t get much of a say in the matter, and that’s not surprising when I learn why—because he’s the Butcher. The crime lord of all crime lords, the boss that overshadows all of Paris, that makes everyone abide by his rules—or pay.
And now I’m his.

This author once failed as a heroine… and returned as something entirely different.
Not as a savior.
But as the villain.
And she didn’t come back empty-handed.
She brought secrets.
She brought sins.
She brought a story that was never meant to be read.
Sinners & Saints is not just a collection of dark romance stories—
It is a confession.
A warning.
And a door best left unopened.
Within these pages lie twisted love stories where desire and destruction walk hand in hand, and every choice comes with a cost.
So the question is simple:
Will you turn away…
or step inside anyway?

Even more devastating is the discovery that her father’s death was no accident, but part of something far more sinister.
With the past closing in and danger growing, Regina must find the strength to face betrayal, uncover the truth, and decide who she can trust. Alongside Michael, she steps into a world where love, power, and deception collide—and where the truth may cost everything.

He saved her from a lifetime of slaving away at a strip club, but the next thing she knows, she's plunged into the dark and dangerous world of organized crime...
On her unconscious bed, her husband gave the order to abort her child. Their child. Driven by lust and desperation for power, Killian Powell framed Rose Webster just to divorce her and marry her twin. At what price? To easily buy his way into her family's corporation. Rose had the evidence to expose her husband's true face to the world and tear him down. But of what use was it when her vicious parents threatened to stop the treatment of her sick daughter if she dared release the evidence? Like always, they cared more about what they stood to gain from a traitor who stabbed their daughter—a man they once despised when he was nothing. As much as Rose couldn't trade the life of her daughter, she couldn't bear the internet stigma and mockery. Not to mention her job as a detective was suspended as if she were some criminal. The whole world seemed to close in on Rose until redemption came in the form of a dangerous offer. When solving a risky murder case was the only way to get back at her ex-husband and also keep her child safe, how far would she go to ruin her ex?
there are some exciting new romance novels hitting the shelves this month. One that caught my attention is 'Love, Theoretically' by Ali Hazelwood. It's a STEMinist romance with a brilliant female lead and a rivals-to-lovers plot that promises both humor and heart. Another fresh release is 'Happy Place' by Emily Henry, known for her witty dialogue and emotional depth. This one explores second-chance romance with a nostalgic summer setting. For those who enjoy fantasy romance, 'Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries' by Heather Fawcett blends academic rivalry with magical elements. Each of these books offers something unique, whether it’s banter, emotional stakes, or a whimsical twist.
Has anyone else felt like a lot of new mysteries are just... fine? Competently written, solid plots, but nothing that grabs you by the collar. I'm searching for that one with a voice that jumps off the page. Something with the witty narration of 'Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone' or the bleak, poetic style of some Nordic noir. I want to remember the way it's told, not just the solution. Maybe that's asking too much from a monthly TBR, but a reader can dream. The hunt continues.
This month, Larry Reads has really turned up the heat with some incredible releases that totally caught my eye! A standout for me is 'The Last Starfall'—it’s this fantastical adventure filled with magic and mysteries that just pulls you in from page one. The main character is this relatable underdog who embarks on a journey to save her crumbling world. I mean, who doesn’t love a good hero’s journey? The world-building is so immersive, and the author’s prose simply sings. It’s perfect for those who want to dive deep into a beautifully crafted universe.
Another highlight is the graphic novel 'Cyborg Dreams,' which combines stunning artwork with a thought-provoking plot about technology and humanity. I found myself getting lost in the illustrations, and the story just hooks you—you’ll really ponder what it means to be human after reading it. I’ve always been drawn to stories with a sci-fi twist, and this one hits all the right notes. Plus, the characters have that delightful blend of humor and depth that makes you root for them all the way through.
Lastly, I can't overlook 'Whispers in the Dark,' a chilling horror novel that’s perfect for those cozy autumn nights. The suspense is palpable, and the atmospheric writing had me on the edge of my seat. The author has a knack for building tension, and it keeps you guessing until the last page. Honestly, if you’re into eerie, atmospheric storytelling, this is a must-read! There’s just so much to enjoy this month, and I can’t wait to see how these stories unfold in the coming weeks!
