I'm posting a 'soon to be released' book on Wednesdays. These will always be books that I am particularly looking forward to. I'll be linking up to 'Can't-Wait Wednesday' hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings and plan to take part in this each week.
This week's book is highly anticipated by me. The author has written previous books that I have enjoyed very much - Her Every Fear and The Kind Worth Killing. Both of them were written with themes from Hitchcock films. I'm not sure if this one has that same vibe, but I'll be glad to see. I'm waiting on:
Publication Date: April 3rd
Harry Ackerson has always considered his stepmother Alice to be sexy and beautiful, in an "otherworldly" way. She has always been kind and attentive, if a little aloof in the last few years.
Days before his college graduation, Alice calls with shocking news. His father is dead and the police think it’s suicide. Devastated, Harry returns to his father’s home in Maine. There, he and Alice will help each other pick up of the pieces of their lives and uncover what happened to his father.
Shortly after he arrives, Harry meets a mysterious young woman named Grace McGowan. Though she claims to be new to the area, Harry begins to suspect that Grace may not be a complete stranger to his family. But she isn’t the only attractive woman taking an interest in Harry. The sensual Alice is also growing closer, coming on to him in an enticing, clearly sexual way.
Mesmerized by these two women, Harry finds himself falling deeper under their spell. Yet the closer he gets to them, the more isolated he feels, disoriented by a growing fear that both women are hiding dangerous—even deadly—secrets . . . and that neither one is telling the truth.
Yikes sounds like a good suspenseful read! I like that title too... sounds nice and mysterious. :)
ReplyDeleteThe other two book I've read by this author were definitely suspenseful.
DeleteOh, after that last line of the blurb, I kind of the two women are in this together for some reason, trying to get something from Harry! It sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat's a thought - I'll have to remember it!
DeleteI've enjoyed reading Peter Swanson's books in the past so I'm definitely looking forward to reading this.
ReplyDeleteYou and me both, Melody!
DeleteI'm really looking forward to this one too.
ReplyDeleteOh good! A bunch of us will read it at some point.
DeleteI've never read this author, but your review makes me want this book! I'm so curious about this little triad :o
ReplyDeleteHis other books that I've read were quite good - both with hints of Hitchcock movies. I really liked them.
DeleteOoooh, this is a great find, it sounds like it will be a good one for sure!!
ReplyDeleteHope so!
DeleteWow, this sounds suspenseful! I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI imagine that I will. Suspense and I are very friendly. LOL
DeleteHope you enjoy it when you read it!
ReplyDeleteI suspect I shall.
DeleteRun Harry run. Sounds like a no win situation form him, but a good book for readers!
ReplyDeleteLOL LOL! Seems like good advice, Barb!
DeleteSounds really good. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jill!
DeleteOooh, this sounds like a great one! Hope you enjoy it! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking I probably will!
DeleteLOL @ Barb above! RUN!! This sounds like a good thriller, I have to check it out and see if it is. Why are they spinning these lies and coming on to him?
ReplyDeleteMary my Can’t Wait Wednesday
Kind of like a spider's web, right?
DeleteThis sounds like a page turner and I don't think there's any good way out for Harry here! Look forward to your thoughts on it.
ReplyDeleteWe'll see how it goes for poor Harry!
DeleteGreat choice. Sounds like something I would like.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Yvonne!
DeleteWow that looks like an amazing book!
ReplyDeleteHere's our WOW: http://jennreneeread.blogspot.com/2018/02/waiting-on-wednesday-olivia-twist-by.html
I'm hoping so!
DeleteI was a huge fan of The Kind Worth Killing so I can't wait to read this one. I didn't even realize this one was coming out but very excited to hear!
ReplyDeleteYes, I was pretty excited when I saw it too.
DeleteJust what I need -- another addictive-sounding thriller. *Sigh* I swear, Kay, I'm going to stop reading your blog before I'm buried under an avalanche of books you've recommended! LOL.
ReplyDeleteNow, now - don't make promises you know you won't keep! LOL LOL
DeleteHoly heck, my wishlist grew again - oh boy *smile* Thanks for sharing. This sounds very thrilling and mysterious. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes
Vi @Inkvotary
My aim is to make everyone's TBR as long as mine! LOL
DeleteAlthough I wasn't blown away by the one Swanson book I have read so far, I really do want to give his other work a try. This sounds like it will be a good one.
ReplyDeleteWe'll see how it goes. I did like the two I've read so far.
DeleteI deleted my previous comment because it suddenly dawned on me that I've read Her Every Fear and plan to read The Kind Worth Killing. I had asked (in my deleted comment) if this was part of a series. Glad to know it's a stand-alone. Off to add it to my list. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think there was a police character that overlapped, but that's all. Not a true series.
