  He was the boy next door that I loved. Now he’s the single dad I refuse to let back in. 
  My ex-best friends have been dead to me for four years. I left against my will and then… they stopped talking to me. An entire lifetime of childhood friendships flushed down the drain. Worse yet… I’d been in love with Zac Walsh–the literal boy next door who went through women the way most of us went through underwear–since I was thirteen. 
  Then… he just stopped being my best friend and so did the rest of them. Unfortunately, coming back to town isn’t my idea. But it’s my responsibility to take care of my dad’s things and I’m determined to do the job then get out of here as quickly as possible. Maybe without seeing any of them. 
  Of course, that doesn’t happen. Zac sees me before I get into the house. He’s still the boy next door, probably still going through women like most of us go through underwear, and against my better judgment, those feelings bubble up from the deep abyss I’d exiled them to. As the secrets that have been hidden from me all start finding their way to the surface, is he really the only one I can lean on? 
  Last Good Thing is book one in the Fallout Series and features a smoking hot single dad and a woman who doesn’t want to let any of them in when she comes back to town yet can’t avoid the familiar feelings, or just how much she’s still in love with him.

  Kathryn Bromwich's masterful debut novel is a rich, gorgeously descriptive account of a woman hiding from old ghosts and new in the Italian Alps, while rekindling her own sense of self through nature. 
   
   
   
  Laura lives alone in a cabin deep within the forest, making her living translating medical documents and tutoring the children of affluent locals. She spends her days climbing the mountains outside her door and roaming the woods, and soon begins a relationship with a waiter some years her junior, which brings new rhythms to her life. But late one night there is a knock on the door, and on the other side stands someone from her past who has finally found her. 
   
   
   
  As the mystery surrounding why she is there comes into focus, Laura is plagued by a fever, and starts to experience flashbacks to her youth, along with an eerie second sight that seems to lift the veil on reality while making astonishing new connections with the natural world around her. In beguiling, lyrical prose we begin to see how Laura's past informs her present and is a shackle she is desperately trying to shed. Before long though the villagers grow wary of the woman in the cabin and of her increasingly odd behavior, and a few decide to take matters into their own hands; to free themselves from the malevolent forces of the strega who lives amongst them.

  Meet the most irresistible serial killer of the year in this twisty feminist thriller that’s as wickedly fun as it is lethal.  
   
  Saffy Huntley-Oliver is an intelligent and glamorous socialite; she also happens to be a proficient serial killer. For the past fifteen years, she’s hunted down and dispatched rapists, murderers, domestic abusers—bad men all. But leading a double life has left her lonely—dating’s tough when your boyfriend might turn out to be your next victim. Saffy thinks she’s finally found a truly good man in Jonathan Desrosiers, a true-crime podcaster who’s amassed legions of diehardfans for cracking cold cases and bringing justice to victims. 
   
  When a decapitated body shows up on Jon’s doorstep the morning after his wife leaves him, he becomes the chief suspect for a murder he insists he didn’t commit. Saffy's crush becomes an obsession as she orchestrates a meet-cute and volunteers to help Jon clear his name, using every trick up her sleeve to find the real killer and get her man—no matter the cost. 
   
  Darkly comic and addictively readable, Bad Men is a wild romp of a feminist thriller that asks whether even a serial killer can have a happily-ever-after. 
   
  “The feminist serial killer you didn’t know you were waiting for. Sensational.”—Clare Mackintosh, bestselling author of The Last Party

  Six passengers in a locked train carriage. One of them is dead. No one saw a thing. 
   
  Former Detective Hillary Greene is off on holiday. For a blissful two weeks, her life will be free of murder victims, murder suspects — and, best of all, no paperwork. She’s heading for the beautiful Welsh town of Hay-on-Wye, where she plans to spend her time browsing old bookshops and generally relaxing.

  The next day, Hillary and her fellow guests set off on a steam train ride through the stunning Cambrian Mountains. But when the train arrives at its final destination, not all the passengers get off. 
   
  One of them has been stabbed neatly and cleanly through the heart. 
   
  Which of the five passengers who shared the carriage is the killer? And how come no one saw a thing . . . ?

  Interweaving themes of identity, culture clashes, and the immigrant experience as found in The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri with the exuberance and sharp humour of Kevin Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians, Gurjinder Basran delivers a wide-ranging but intimate portrait of a vibrant, complex Sikh community. 
   
   
   
  Set in Vancouver, The Wedding exposes the inner lives of the wedding party, guests and event staff in the lead-up to a lavish wedding.

With humor, nuance, and honesty, The Wedding spills the chai—exploring desire and expectation, suffering and judgment, class and race—all in search of a happy enough ever after.
