Bright Young Women: By Jessica KnollRead Blog: https://gobookmart.com/bright-young-women-by-jessica-knoll/
Buy Now: https://amzn.to/46CRo8o
Inspired by the real-life case of the âAll-American Sex Killer,â the new novel from Jessica Knoll aims to flip the usual serial killer story upside down. Knollâs book focuses on the women involvedâvictims, survivors, and investigatorsâand turns a bright light on the banality of evil."
--Goodreads, 55 Most Anticipated Books of Fall
"Jessica Knoll is a careful writer, and this, her third novel, is a perfect match for her cold dissection of social mores and her fierce rage at misogyny. Knoll takes on the story of Ted Bundy, told from the perspective of a student who survives a horrific attack on a sorority house... Some may claim that the crime genre is rift with misogyny; those people have not read Jessica Knoll. She tears apart the restrictive world of womenâs roles and lays bare the purpose of such hobbles: to keep women from making a scene, to keep them from seeking justice, and most of all, to keep them from seeking their own lives."
CrimeReads/LitHub, Most Anticipated Books of 2023
"Bright Young Women braids the stories of two survivors, Pamela and Tina, and their fervent bond forged through grief and a pursuit of justice."
âBustle, The 35 Best New Books of Fall 2023
âSomething about fall weather begs for a thriller, and Jessica Knoll delivers with her latest.â
âCountry Living
âA stunning, engaging subversion of the Bundy mythâand the true-crime genre.â
âKirkus (Starred Review)
âStunning⊠By focusing on the women affected by her Ted Bundy stand-in instead of the nuances of his criminal psychology, Knoll movingly reframes an American obsession without stripping it of its intrigue. The results are masterful.â

âIn this summerâs treat, Silver Nitrate, Moreno-Garcia again deploys horror as a touchstone for a textured ghost story with surprising historical undertones while paying homage to a lesser-known progenitor of the form. True to her method, she succeeds here by knowing when to follow the rules of genre storytelling and when to turn them upside down.ââLos Angeles Times
âBest of all is Moreno-Garciaâs depiction of the poignant, lifelong friendship between Montserrat and TristĂĄn, with its simmering romantic undercurrent, shared childhood language and adult resentments. Like its namesake, Silver Nitrate catches fire and doesnât stop burning until the end.ââThe Washington Post
âSilvia Moreno-Garcia proves, once again, that she is one of the most talented writers publishing today.ââMs.
â[A] gripping and atmospheric thriller that seamlessly blends history and magic.ââArlington Magazine
âHip as hell, Silver Nitrate delivers a cinematic and exhilarating punch. Silvia Moreno-Garcia does it again with this creepy and unforgettable occult thriller, teeming with the decadence of old horror movies. I felt cooler just reading it.ââKali Fajardo-Anstine, bestselling author of Woman of Light and Sabrina & Corina -

"Viciously satisfying" and "Addictive." â New York Times Book Review
"Yellowface is one of the most transfixing novels Iâve read in ages⊠Kuang boldly interrogates literary hot-button issues like privilege, appropriation, and authenticity, leaving it open for readers themselves to decide where to draw the line." â Zakiya Dalila Harris, New York Times bestselling author of The Other Black Girl
"Reading Yellowface felt like being inside a wild, brutal, psychological knife fight with a deranged clown. A merciless satire that left me screaming inside... from both its horror and humor." â Constance Wu, star of Crazy Rich Asians and author of Making a Scene
"Well-executed, gripping, fast-paced novel." â NPR
"It's addictive, shocking, compelling, ridiculous, and extremely fun to read by turns." â Paste Magazine
"At once a brilliant satire that mixes horror and humor; a nuanced exploration of race, heritage, identity, and diversity in publishing; and an honest look at the hell that is social media, this might just be Kuang's best." â Boston Globe
âYellowface is a brittle, eviscerating read that affected me bodily. Kuangâs oeuvre consistently finds new ways to expose and interrogate systems of power, in this case tackling the commodification and consumption of art with both swagger and sophistication. Yellowface really is THAT bitch.â â Olivie Blake, New York Times Bestselling author of The Atlas Six

âAbsorbing . . . itâs such a pleasure to sink into Keaneâs quietly luminous prose . . . She manages to find the extraordinary grace in our achingly ordinary world.â âJanice Y.K. Lee, The New York Times Book Review
"Poignant . . . class differences underlie personal strife as the couple struggles with adultery, fertility and civility." âBethanne Patrick, The Los Angeles Times

"An insightful, riveting study of marriage." âPeople
"One of our finest writers on the interior complexities of marriage and family shines a flashlight on the intricate clockwork of love and longing that runs inside us. Because of the thoughtfulness of that examination, beauty and possibility are visible. I ran my finger over sentences while reading, thinking: 'Yes, exactly.' This kind of fiction allows us to look around our own lives with respect and kindness and is therefore a great gift." âAnn Napolitano, author of Dear Edward and Hello Beautiful -

âThe body count is high and the action pretty much nonstop. . . A crackling good police procedural. . . Cosby delivers a fine climax. Then, in an epilogue, he serves up a final treat thatâs worth the whole trip. . . Fresh and exhilarating.ââNew York Times Book Review, Stephen King
âS. A. Cosbyâs novels always hit the grand slam of crime fiction; unstoppable momentum, gripping intrigue and deep character with a hard and telling look at culture and society. I hesitate to call All The Sinners Bleed his masterpiece because he has many more books to write and they only get better and better. Cosby no doubt carries the mantle of Faulkner with him as he uses the crime story to show us where we are and how far we still need to go. Sheriff Titus Crown lives in these pages and your heart. He's a character for the ages.â
âMichael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Desert Star
âRiveting. . . What elevates this book is how Cosby weaves politically charged salient issues â race, religion, policing â through the prism of a serial murder investigation and the perspective of one of the most memorable heroes in contemporary crime fiction. . . Deeply moving and memorable.ââWashington Post
âOn the basis of four novels, each better than the last (andAll the Sinners Bleed the best of them all), itâs fairly easy to say that American crime fiction has found its future and his name is S.A. Cosby.â
âDennis Lehane, New York Times bestselling author of Small Mercies
âCosby vaults his own high bar. . .His most deeply resonant, timely and timeless novel to date.ââLos Angeles Times -

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding generalâalso known as her tough-as-talons motherâhas ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.
But when youâre smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons donât bond to âfragileâ humans. They incinerate them.
With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her motherâs daughterâlike Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.
Sheâll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.
Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.
Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agendaâbecause once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die. -
