The end of the year is upon us, which means that between the shopping, cooking, decorating, and parties, we're also hustling to get through that "to read" stack of books sitting tauntingly by our bedside. Yet even as we page through the backlog of delayed beach reads and best of the year that squeaked in under the wire, our minds are also turning toward the exciting new stories heading our way in the new year. Here, a selection of some of the lit we're adding to our 2018 list.
Shepard brings her knack for the tightly-wound thriller that earned Pretty Little Liars its runaway success to a whole new demographic. As novelist Eliza Fontaine delves into the investigation of her own attempted murder, things quickly take a turn for the meta-textual. Embroiled in situations that eerily mirror her fiction, the lines between reality and Eliza’s own imaginings rapidly blur. Clever and attention-grabbing, this is one book you won’t be able to leave sitting on the nightstand for long.
The Elizas by Sara Shepard, £8.99, amazon.com on April 17.
