Nora Roberts – The Unseen Library

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 look forward to seeing how they turn out.

Nero by Conn Iggulden

The first book I want to highlight in this book haul post was the epic historical fiction book, Nero by Conn Iggulden. Iggulden, who is one of the top authors of the genre, once again dives into Roman history with a book that looks at the early life of the infamous emperor Nero. I am deeply fascinated to see Iggulden’s take on this iconic figure and I have no doubt Nero is going to be one of the top historical fiction novels of 2024.

The No.1 Lawyer by James Patterson and Nancy Allen

The No.1 Lawyer Cover

A cool legal thriller from the team of James Patterson and Nancy Allen is a very welcome addition to my reading list and I am really looking forward to reading this. I love a great legal thriller, and The No.1 Lawyer sounds particularly fun as it forces a skilled defence attorney to win the biggest murder case of his life when he is accused of murdering his wife. I love the sound of this book and I have no doubt I am absolutely going to power through The No.1 Lawyer.

Think Twice by Harlan Coben

Think Twice Cover

I only recently started reading acclaimed thriller author Harlan Coben, but I really enjoyed the first book of his I checked out, I Will Find You. His new novel, Think Twice, also sounds pretty damn epic as it forces a sports agent to investigate how his friend’s DNA was found at a recent murder, years after the friend’s funeral. I look forward to seeing how this intriguing thriller unfolds, and I know I’m going to love it.

The Instruments of Darkness by John Connolly

The Instruments of Darkness Cover

One author I have been meaning to get into for years is John Connelly, who is known for his clever and twisty thrillers. Well, it looks like I’m going to get the chance very soon as I just received a copy of The Instruments of Darkness, which sounds amazing. Set to follow a complex legal case of a mother accused of murdering her own child, The Instruments of Darkness sounds very intense, dark and intriguing, and I look forward to diving into it.

Mind Games by Nora Roberts

Mind Games Cover

An intriguing thriller that showcases a dark connection between a young woman and the killer who murdered her parents. This should be an interesting novel and I look forward to reading my first Nora Roberts book.

Caesar’s General by Alex Gough

Caesar's General Cover

A great sounding addition to a Roman historical fiction series that follows the life of Mark Antony. Caesar’s General sounds particularly cool, as it covers the events that lead to Caesar crossing the Rubicon. I look forward to diving into Caesar’s General and I know I’m going to have fun with it.

Amazon

Hill 112 by Adrian Goldsworthy

Hill 112 Cover

The final book I want to highlight in the book haul post is Hill 112 by Adrian Goldsworthy. An intense and powerful war novel that follows a particularly bloody battle of World War II, Hill 112 sounds fantastic, 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.

It has been a while since I have done a Book Haul post, but seeing that I received several interesting books recently, I thought I would quickly do one to highlight some of the best novels I have gotten in the last few weeks. Each of the below books sound extremely cool and captivating, and I cannot wait to see how they all turn out.

The Burning Road by Harry Sidebottom

The first book I want to highlight in this haul is The Burning Road by Harry Sidebottom, an awesome and action packed historical thriller. Set in ancient Sicily, this book follows a father and son team as they attempt to survive a brutal slave uprising that threatens to kill everyone they love. I have already read and reviewed this fantastic novel and it comes very highly recommended.

Star Wars: The High Republic: The Fallen Star by Claudia Gray

I was also lucky enough to receive a copy of the latest Star Wars novel, The Fallen Star by Claudia Gray, which is part of The High Republic range of Star Wars fiction. The Fallen Star continues the major storylines from the previous central High Republic novels (Light of the Jedi and The Rising Storm), and sees the vicious Nihil launch a deadly attack against the Jedi aboard Starlight Beacon. This is another book I have already read and it turned out to be a compelling and intense survival story in space. I will hopefully get a review for it up soon but it is a must read for Star Wars fans.

Sierra Six by Mark Greaney

I was extremely happy to receive a copy of the new Gray Man book, Sierra Six, by Mark Greaney. Following a lethal spy as he attempts to fix a mistake from his past, this cool novel will show the first mission of awesome series protagonist, Court Gentry, and the many regrets he has from it. I am already confident that this will be one of the best thrillers of 2022 and I cannot wait to check it out.

Dark Horse by Gregg Hurwitz

Another awesome thriller I have received a copy of is Dark Horse by Gregg Hurwitz. The seventh book in his action-packed Orphan X series, Dark Horse will set Hurwitz’s legendary spy turned vigilante against an entire cartel. I cannot wait to see how this book turns out but I know I’m in for a very fun ride with it.

City of the Dead by Jonathan Kellerman

I just seem to keep getting books from some of my favourite authors as I also received the latest novel from Jonathan Kellerman, City of the Dead. This new novel from Kellerman will see his fun protagonist duo attempt to solve a brutal double murder. I am very keen to read City of the Dead, especially as I have really grown to enjoy Kellerman’s excellent and methodical murder mysteries, and this should be a compelling and enjoyable novel.

Her Perfect Twin by Sarah Bonner

I was very excited when I received this cool and unique thriller a little while ago. Set to be one of the most intense debuts of 2022, Her Perfect Twin follows a woman who kills her twin sister and then takes up her identity to ensure no-one knows she’s dead. I love the sound of this amazing novel and I am extremely keen to see how it all turns out.

The Cane by Maryrose Cuskelly

Another awesome debut I recently received is The Cane by Maryrose Cuskelly. Set in the wilds of rural Queensland, this Australian noir novel will dive into the creepy disappearance of a teenage girl. The Cane sounds pretty damn dark and I am sure I will have amazing time plumbing the depths of its disturbing story.

Abandoned in Death by J. D. Robb

The final book I received was the latest novel from J. D. Robb (Nora Roberts), Abandoned in Death. The 54th book in a long running series, Abandoned in Death follows the investigation into a killer who apparently targets bad parents. I love the sound of this novel and I may have to try diving into this series very late in the game.

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.
