I have been having another excellent couple of weeks for books, and I was lucky enough to receive several incredible and amazing new novels from local publishers and Netgalley. These novels include some truly awesome new releases, including books that have the potential to be some of my top reads of the year. I cannot wait to dive into them, and I so excited to see how they all turn out.
A Darkness Returns by Raymond E. Feist
The first new book I recently received was A Darkness Returns by one of my favourite authors, Raymond E. Feist. The first book in his new Dragonwar Saga series, A Darkness Returns will see Feist bring together characters from two of his fantasy universes into one epic new adventure. I am very excited for A Darkness Returns and I cannot wait to read this brand-new Feist novel.
High Wire by Candice Fox
Candice Fox returns with her third novel of the year, the intriguing Australian thriller High Wire. Following two people forced to participate in a crime spree in the Australian outback thanks to a couple of bomb vests, High Wire sounds very cool. Fox really impressed me this year with her other novels, The Murder Inn and Devil’s Kitchen, and I am extremely excited to see how High Wire unfolds.
An Eye for an Eye by Jeffrey Archer
Another fantastic crime fiction book I recently received was the new Jeffrey Archer novel, An Eye for an Eye. The latest book in his William Warwick series, An Eye for an Eye will see the series protagonists investigate a complex murder case, while also battling the malign influence of a sinister art thief with a grudge against them. The William Warwick books always prove to be a ton of fun and I have no doubt that this latest entry is going to keep me very entertained.
Confessions of the Dead by James Patterson and J. D. Barker
The first-rate team of James Patterson and J. D. Barker return with another standalone, horror-tinged thriller, Confessions of the Dead. Set in a small New England town, Confessions of the Dead see a series of strange events occur when a mysterious teenage girl arrives in town. I love the premise of Confessions of the Dead, and cannot wait to read it, especially as the last novel from Patterson and Barker I read, Death of the Black Widow, ended up being one of my favourite books of 2022.
The First Murder on Mars by Sam Wilson
A gripping and intense book about the first murder on Mars. What could be more awesome than that?
A Girls’ Guide to Winning the War by Annie Lyons
An intriguing historical drama that will see two women discover the power of the written word during World War II.
The Recruiter by Gregg Podolski
The final book I recently received was the fantastic sounding thriller, The Recruiter. The debut novel of Gregg Podolski, The Recruiter follows a criminal recruiter who is forced to go up against two of his deadliest contractors. I love the sound of this awesome thriller and I cannot wait to check it out.
Well, that’s the end of this latest Book Haul post. As you can see I have quite a bit of reading to do at the moment thanks to all these awesome books that have come in. Let me know which of the above you are most interested in and make sure to check back in a few weeks to see my reviews of them.
