It’s the final day of the month and we couldn’t be happier. Not because one of the coldest and longest months of the year is finally over. Instead, we’re excited because January 31st has a bunch of great new books being released. The full list is below.
Her Hiding Place is a new standalone psychological thriller by Shannon Hollinger. With just ten days until the grand opening of the luxury island resort, a maid struggles to keep her three-year-old daughter, Alice, hidden. No one can know they’re on the run—or what they’re running from. But when a violent storm cuts the island off from the mainland, a murder shatters the fragile safety she’s built.
As fear spreads, someone discovers Alice, and her worst nightmare becomes reality—her daughter vanishes. Trapped with a killer and nowhere to hide, she must uncover the truth before it’s too late. Because if her past catches up to her now, she may lose Alice forever.
The Ellis McFadden Mysteries Series by USA Today bestselling author Kristen Painter begins with Breathing Space. Aboard the Athos, a luxurious starship, librarian Ellis McFadden enjoys adventure—and time with her daughter, the vice admiral. But when a patron is murdered, Ellis becomes the prime suspect. With only her wits, loyal friends, and an android cat, she must uncover the truth before the ship’s next jump—or risk becoming the killer’s next target.
The Playbook of Emma is the first book in the Killers Next Generation Series by USA Today bestselling author Brynne Asher. A perfect night in Vegas with her first crush, Jack Hale, turns into chaos when his star client’s scandal explodes. As a rising sports reporter, Emma is thrust into the media storm—and Jack’s world—once again. But when danger closes in, their only chance at survival is to trust each other… even if it means breaking all the rules.
The Haunted Histories Series by Lynn M. Stout continues with Spooked at Smoky Stadium. When Jackie Thompson’s paranormal documentary team investigates eerie disturbances at Smoky Stadium, they expect creaky floorboards—not spectral football players, dark secrets, and a psychic professor full of questions. But as a sinister mystery unfolds, Jackie must face more than restless spirits—she must confront the ghosts of her own past.
