As Vicky races to understand what happened and reclaim what’s rightfully hers, she’s forced to confront the question that should have come first: Should anyone have the power to read minds?

Lucie Rizzo, reluctant mob princess, is finally getting her life together. 🎨 Her dog-walking business is thriving, her Coco Barknell line of designer dog accessories is taking off, and—bada bing!—she’s creating a legitimate career that has nothing to do with her father’s… let’s call them “business connections.” 🐕

But when Lucie brokers an art deal between two clients and things start looking suspiciously shady, she’s pulled back into the criminal world she’s been desperately trying to escape. Someone’s running an art fraud scheme, and if Lucie doesn’t figure out who, she might be the one taking the fall. Sure, she can’t tell the difference between Monet and Manet, but Rizzos know plenty about avoiding jail time—and Lucie refuses to become anyone’s prison buddy. 😱

Enter Detective Tim O’Brien: tall, blond, Irish, and completely wrong for a mob princess by family standards. But everything about him feels oh-so-right. 💕 He doesn’t care about Lucie’s famiglia ties, and he’s more than willing to help her track down the truth about those suspiciously shady paintings.

The town still whispers about the two girls who disappeared decades ago, and the Moon women they’re certain had something to do with it. ✨

Now Lizzy must untangle truth from legend, face the gift she’s spent years denying, and decide whether she’ll embrace her heritage or let the Moon line die with her. Because some secrets are buried so deep that only moon magic can bring them to light. 🌿

What pulled me in: Barbara Davis writes the kind of lush, atmospheric women’s fiction that straddles the line between literary and magical, earning her Amazon Charts bestselling status and devoted readers. This standalone novel combines small-town suspicion, multi-generational family secrets, the intoxicating setting of a lavender farm, and just enough magical realism to feel transcendent without tipping into full fantasy.

This is where it all began. The first Alex Cross thriller. The case that made him a legend. 🕷️

When two children of powerful Washington D.C. families are kidnapped, forensic psychologist and detective Alex Cross is pulled into a case unlike anything he’s faced before. The kidnapper calls himself Gary Sondji, but the media dubs him something more terrifying: Jack and Jill. His crimes are meticulously planned, psychologically sophisticated, and devastatingly personal. 😱

As Cross races to find the children before it’s too late, he’s drawn into a cat-and-mouse game with a killer who’s always three steps ahead. But Gary Sondji isn’t the only predator in this story. And the truth about what’s really happening will shake Cross to his core. 🔍

Why I’m including this: James Patterson launched one of the most successful thriller franchises in literary history with this 1993 debut, introducing Alex Cross—a character who would go on to star in 30+ books, multiple films, and now a streaming series. Patterson’s signature short chapters and relentless pacing are already on display here, but this early Cross novel has a grittiness and psychological complexity that makes it more than just a propulsive thriller. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch or Jeffery Deaver’s Lincoln Rhyme, Patterson created a protagonist who’s both brilliant detective and devoted family man, giving readers someone to root for beyond just solving the case. The discounted price makes this the perfect entry point to see why Alex Cross became an icon. Whether you’re discovering Cross for the first time or revisiting where it all started, this remains a masterclass in thriller construction from one of the genre’s giants. 🎯

Genre: Literary Fiction / Classic

Sylvia Plath’s only novel is a haunting, darkly funny, and devastatingly honest portrait of a brilliant mind coming apart. 🥀

Esther Greenwood should have everything. She’s talented, educated, and just won a prestigious magazine internship in New York City. It’s 1953, and she’s living the dream that every ambitious young woman wants. But beneath the glossy surface, Esther is suffocating. The expectations, the limited choices, the bell jar of societal pressure—it’s all closing in on her. 😔

As Esther’s mental state deteriorates, Plath guides us through her descent with prose that’s simultaneously beautiful and brutal, clinical and poetic. This isn’t just about mental illness—it’s about what it means to be a woman with ambitions in a world designed to contain her. 📖

Why this matters: Published just weeks before Plath’s suicide in 1963, The Bell Jar is a semi-autobiographical masterpiece that transcends its tragic origins to speak to generations of readers about depression, gender expectations, and the struggle to find authentic identity. Plath’s writing is luminous even at its darkest, combining wicked humor with unflinching honesty about mental illness at a time when such candor was revolutionary. This isn’t an easy read—it’s emotionally intense and sometimes uncomfortable—but it’s essential. For understanding 1950s America, for recognizing how far we’ve come (and haven’t) in discussing mental health, for appreciating one of the 20th century’s most important literary voices. Perfect for fans of Joan Didion or anyone ready for fiction that doesn’t flinch from difficult truths. This is literature that matters, wrapped in prose that sears. 🕊️
