Historical
Fireflies in Winter is the kind of story that feels quiet at first—but lingers long after you finish it. Set against a cold, wintry backdrop, it’s about finding light in the most unexpected places. Grief, love, second chances, and small moments of hope all weave together in a way that feels tender and real. It’s not loud or flashy—it’s the slow glow of something steady. If you love emotional stories about healing, resilience, and the kind of connections that thaw even the coldest seasons, this one will absolutely pull you in
Thriller
Her Last Breath is a tense, edge-of-your-seat thriller that wastes zero time pulling you in. When a woman’s death sparks more questions than answers, the story spirals into a dangerous web of secrets, lies, and people who definitely aren’t telling the whole truth. It’s fast-paced, gritty, and packed with that signature Taylor Adams intensity—short chapters, rising stakes, and twists that keep coming. If you love dark thrillers with relentless momentum and a creeping sense of dread, this one will have you flipping pages way past bedtime.
Fiction
It’s Not Her is one of those twisty thrillers that slowly gets under your skin. When a woman survives a brutal attack, nothing feels quite right afterward—and the deeper the story goes, the more unsettling it becomes. Secrets pile up, perspectives shift, and you’re left questioning who’s telling the truth (if anyone is). It’s tense, emotional, and full of that creeping unease Mary Kubica does so well. If you love psychological suspense with unreliable characters and jaw-drop moments, this one will keep you guessing until the very last page.
