Don’t Look Back by Gregg Hurwitz ($22.01)
“A smart, suspense-filled ride to satisfy the most discerning of thrill seekers.”
–Library Journal (starred review)
Eve Hardaway, newly single mother of one, is on a trip she’s long dreamed of-a rafting and hiking tour through the jungles and mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico. Eve wanders off the trail, coming upon a shack among the trees, where she spies a man throwing machetes at a human-shaped target. Disturbed by the sight, Eve rushes back to her group…only to stumble upon a broken digital camera, marked with the name Theresa Hamilton. Later that night, clicking through the photos, Eve discovers a snapshot of that same menacing-looking man in the woods. Th eresa Hamilton has since disappeared…“Left me breathless. Not to be missed.”-James Rollins
Now the man in the woods is after whoever was snooping around his house. With a violent past and deadly mission, he will do anything to avoid being discovered. When major storm wipes out the roads and all communication with the outside world, the tour group is trapped in the jungle with a brutal predator hell-bent on protecting a long-hidden secret. At the center of it all is Eve, who must fight against incredible odds if she’s to make it back home alive…“Terrifying… clever… A terrific reading experience.”-Associated Press
How cow does this book scream read me! I strong female character and human hunting human to protect a secret, this might be the most up my alley book that has ever been picked. All the praise for the book on the back cover only makes me want to spend my days off finding out if Eve wins or loses her life.
The Book of You: A Novel by Claire Kendal ($13.82)
A mesmerizing tale of psychological suspense about a woman who must fight to escape an expert manipulator determined to possess her, Claire Kendal’s debut novel is a sophisticated and disturbing portrait of compulsion, control, and terror that will appeal to fans of Before I Go to Sleep, The Silent Wife, and Into the Darkest Corner.
His name is Rafe, and he is everywhere Clarissa turns. At the university where she works. Her favorite sewing shop. The train station. Outside her apartment. His messages choke her voice mail; his gifts litter her mailbox. Since that one regrettable night, his obsession with her has grown, becoming more terrifying with each passing day. And as Rafe has made clear, he will never let her go.
Clarissa’s only escape from this harrowing nightmare is inside a courtroom—where she is a juror on a trial involving a victim whose experiences eerily parallel her own. There she finds some peace and even makes new friends, including an attractive widower named Robert, whose caring attentions make her feel desired and safe. But as a disturbingly violent crime unfolds in the courtroom, Clarissa realizes that to survive she must expose Rafe herself. Conceiving a plan, she begins collecting the evidence of Rafe’s madness to use against him—a record of terror that will force her to relive every excruciating moment she desperately wants to forget. Proof that will reveal the twisted, macabre fairy tale that Rafe has spun around them . . . with an ending more horrifying than her darkest fears.
Masterfully constructed, filled with exquisite tension and a pervasive sense of menace, The Book of You explores the lines between love and compulsion, fantasy and reality, and offers a heart-stopping portrait of a woman determined to survive. Claire Kendal’s extraordinary debut will haunt readers long after it reaches its terrifying, breathtaking conclusion.
A tale of a girl and her stalker in a nice physiological thriller package, it’s almost better than watching an episode of Criminal Minds. I was so excited by the back jacket that I just had to start reading this book and I am hooked.
I am beyond thrilled with BookCase.club this month! So much greatness should not be allowed in one small subscription. I hope that I can find time to clean my house between finishing these great picks. I don’t think I have ever been this excited about both books in one month. I love that both of these remind me of other books or television shows that I enjoy.
