I don't know about the rest of the world, but tomorrow New York City and the surrounding areas are supposed to be blanketed in at least a foot of snow. Which promises a very boring day stuck inside. Thus, here are a few exciting books that'll sweep you in and hold you close until it doesn't matter what the weather is like outside. So without further ado:
The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine: A mesmerizing debut psychological thriller about a coolly manipulative woman who worms her way into the lives of a wealthy “golden couple” from Connecticut, befriending the wife and seducing the husband to achieve the privileged life she wants. But expect multiple mind-blowing twists before you turn the last page. Request the egalley here.
Since We Fell by Dennis Lehane: Since We Fell follows Rachel Childs, a former journalist who, after an on-air mental breakdown, now lives as a virtual shut-in. In all other respects, however, she enjoys an ideal life with an ideal husband. Until a chance encounter on a rainy afternoon causes that ideal life to fray. Sucked into a conspiracy thick with deception, violence, and possibly madness, Rachel must find the strength within herself to conquer unimaginable fears and mind-altering truths. By turns heart- breaking, suspenseful, romantic, and sophisticated, Since We Fell is a novel of profound psychological insight and tension. It is Dennis Lehane at his very best.

Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz: From the author of Moriarty and Trigger Mortis, this fiendishly brilliant, riveting thriller weaves a classic whodunit worthy of Agatha Christie into a chilling, ingeniously original modern-day mystery. A missing last chapter from the final book in a bestselling mystery series leads an editor into a quest of her own to discover the secret links between the manuscript and real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition, and murder.

I guarantee any one of these books will totally envelope you in their story, whether you're stuck inside or staying up late, just because you can. Pick one (or three), download, and dive in.
