Book Mail – Upcoming Spring 2024 Releases

Kicking off the week with some book mail – plus my stunning new addition from Cup of Horrors. I’ll never get over how incredible her work is and that this Ghostface is PAINTED on the bag.

Thanks to the mentioned publishers for the gifted copies!

Vampires, haunted houses, some YA contemporary fiction – all kinds of exciting things coming out.

FIRST LIGHT – Liz Kerin (Releasing April 23rd, 2024 – Thank you Tor Nightfire for the copy)

First Light, the riveting sequel to Liz Kerin’s Night’s Edge, is about seizing a brighter future by confronting the shadows of our past.

“I came all this way to watch you burn.”

It’s been nine months since the catastrophe in Tucson sent Mia fleeing from her home. But she’s not running away from the darkness―she’s running toward it, obsessively pursuing the man who gave her mother a thirst for blood and destroyed their lives.

But when Mia finds the monsters she’s been hunting and infiltrates a secret network of fugitives, she discovers she might have been their prey all along. To escape their clutches, she’ll have to reckon with her mother’s harrowing past and confront a painful truth: that they might be more alike than she ever imagined.

THE HOUSE THAT HORROR BUILT – Christina Henry (Releasing May 14th, 2024 – Thank you Berkley Pub for the copy)

A single mother working in the gothic mansion of a reclusive horror director stumbles upon terrifying secrets.

Harry Adams loves horror movies, so it’s no coincidence that she accepted a job cleaning house for horror-movie director Javier Castillo. His forbidding gray-stone Chicago mansion, Bright Horses, is filled from top to bottom with terrifying props and costumes as well as glittering awards from his career making movies that thrilled audiences—until family tragedy and scandal forced him to vanish from the industry.

Javier values discretion, and Harry always tries to keep the house immaculate, her head down, and her job safe. Then she hears noises from behind a locked door, noises that sound remarkably like a human voice calling for help. Harry knows not asking questions is a vital part of keeping her job, but she soon discovers that the house may be home to secrets she can’t ignore.

PRETTY FURIOUS – E.K. Johnston (Released April 16th, 2024 – Thanks to Penguin Teen for the copy)

#1 NYT Bestseller E. K. Johnston returns to contemporary feminist YA. This thrilling story of a small town, fierce friendships, and revenge served cold is a perfect companion to Exit, Pursued by a Bear.

In the small town of Eganston, Ontario, five good girls have had enough. They’ve experienced the best of what their community has to offer, but they’ve seen the darker side too. Together, they’ve decided that it’s time for a reckoning and that justice is their privilege to give.
