Persepolis Rising
BOOK ∙ 2017
James S. A. Corey
The seventh book in James S. A. Corey’s wildly popular Expanse series is a gripping ride through an ever-growing system of interplanetary colonies—and all the power, politics, war, technology, and relationships constructed along the way. The writing duo’s talent for developing characters and storylines from a wide variety of perspectives adds incredible depth to every corner of this vast, action-heavy story. It’s very, very difficult to put this book down.
End Game
BOOK ∙ 2017
David Baldacci
Two of the government's most lethal assassins scour rural Colorado to find their missing handler--and discover an insidious and lethal threat along the way in this New York Times bestselling thriller.
Will Robie and Jessica Reel are two of the most lethal people alive. They're the ones the government calls in when the utmost secrecy is required to take out those who plot violence and mass destruction against the United States. And through every mission, one man has always had their backs: their handler, code-named Blue Man.
But now, Blue Man is missing.
Roomies
BOOK ∙ 2017
Christina Lauren
It starts as a marriage of convenience, but Roomies’ central relationship grows into something deliciously special and real. Christina Lauren’s contemporary romance is a New York City story through and through—a subway misadventure and Broadway musicals play key roles in its plot. But setting is nothing without engaging characters, and it’s here that the novel by this bestselling writing duo really shines. Narrator Holland Bakker is profoundly relatable in her self-doubt and openhearted sincerity, while roguish Irishman Calvin McLoughlin is exactly the kind of man you’d want to help stay in the country.
Origin
BOOK ∙ 2017
Dan Brown
Dan Brown does here what he does best: crafting a labyrinthine puzzle that gets Harvard professor Robert Langdon hopping across continents, dodging bad guys, and unearthing threatening secrets. Edmond Kirsch—former Langdon student and eccentric billionaire—has made a discovery about the origins (and future) of mankind; Langdon and museum director Ambra Vidal are propelled into an urgent quest to protect Kirsch’s discovery. Brown’s snappy writing crackles, bringing the story to life with political relevance (see mentions of “fake news”), religious inquiry, and an unquenchable curiosity about the ancient world's mysteries.
The Midnight Line
BOOK ∙ 2017
Lee Child
"Sometimes you woke up, and you knew for sure … that the brand new day would bring nothing good at all.” From the desolate wilds of Wyoming to a criminal empire run out of a laundromat in Rapid City, Iowa, The Midnight Line digs deep into the dark underbelly of America’s heartland. Lee Child’s slow-burn thriller not only challenges Jack Reacher’s deductive skills, but also tests his stubborn code of honor as he tracks down a traumatized Afghan War vet. What follows is a mystery that confronts the insidious impact of America’s opioid epidemic. And one that may surprise fans of Child's blockbuster hero with its weary sense of melancholy.
The People vs. Alex Cross
BOOK ∙ 2017
James Patterson
With explosive charges and shocking evidence, Alex Cross is about to face the trial of the century in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
Alex Cross is on the wrong side of the law. Charged with gunning down followers of his nemesis Gary Soneji in cold blood, he is being turned into the poster child for trigger-happy cops. Cross knows it was self-defense. But will a jury see it that way?
The Rooster Bar
BOOK ∙ 2017
John Grisham
In The Rooster Bar, John Grisham examines not just lawyers but the schools that train them—in particular, substandard for-profit law schools that prey on their loan-burdened victims. As four classmates stare down graduation and recognize the worthlessness of the degrees they're about to earn, the emotional and financial pressure pushes one of them over the edge. What follows is an unpredictable slalom through the world of dehumanizing, bottom-feeding legal behavior. We especially enjoyed Grisham’s jittery jolt of Ocean's Eleven-esque plot twists.
The British Knight
BOOK ∙ 2017
Louise Bay
When I'm offered the chance to leave New York to live in London for three months, I can't pack my suitcase fast enough.
As soon as I touch down I'm obsessing over red telephone boxes, palaces and all the black cabs.
But my favorite place is the tube. It's wall-to-wall hot British men in suits.
When I'm offered a temporary job working for a barrister, I say, sign me up.
Once Upon a Christmas Eve
BOOK ∙ 2017
Elizabeth Hoyt
A heartwarming stand-alone novella from New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Hoyt!
Adam Rutledge, Viscount d'Arque, really rather loathes Christmas. The banal cheerfulness. The asinine party games. And, worst of all, the obligatory trip to the countryside. His grandmother, however, loves the holiday---and Adam loves his grandmother, so he'll brave the fiercest snowstorm to please her. But when their carriage wheel snaps, they're forced to seek shelter at the home of the most maddening, infuriating, and utterly beguiling woman he's ever met . .
