Hey Thrill-Seekers (and Upside Down wanderers),
October’s barreling into spooky season and Halloween (not to mention Stranger Things FINAL Season 5). But guess what? I’ve got your perfect book recipe: two fresh reads, dropping just in time for Halloween and a return to the Upside Down. If you’re craving dark romance with cult-y vibes *or* ‘80s nostalgia laced with supernatural scares, buckle up. We’re going from Berkshires retreats to Hawkins mall madness.
First up – the one that’s ready to ruin your wellness glow-up: Namaste and Slay: A Dark Romantic Thriller hits shelves next week on October 21st. Morgan’s heartbreak detox turns into a full-on thriller at a suspiciously serene women’s retreat. Think You meets The Hunting Wives. Early buzz is GREAT, with pros calling it everything from a “wild ride” to a “gory, sexy romp.” PREORDER it now for that instant escape (the good kind). There’s also a great audiobook from Podium with Lucy Rivers (Butcher and Blackbird) and Anthony Palmini (Quicksilver, A Court of Roses and Thorns) dual narrating.
“A wild ride through the dark territory of love, mystery, and horror. You absolutely will not see those twists coming!” — **Jonathan Maberry**, New York Times-bestselling author of the Sleepers War and NecroTek series
“This book has it all: mystery and suspense, a love story with plenty of spice, and a... terrifying conclusion... [that] will have you desperately longing for the sequel.” — **Hollie Overton**, international-bestselling author of Baby Doll
“A gory, sexy romp—utterly entertaining!” — **Gretchen McNeil**, author of They Fear Not Men in the Woods and #MurderTrending
“A seductive, sinister thrill ride with dangerous attractions, dark intrigue, and plenty of spice set against an undercurrent of dread.” — **KC Grifant**, author of the Monster Gunslingers series and Shrouded Horror: Tales of the Uncanny
But wait—there’s more! If you’re deep in the Hawkins hivemind (and who isn’t?), mark your calendars for Stranger Things: Starcourt Mall Escape, landing November 4th JUST IN TIME FOR THE FINAL SEASON. Early whispers from the fandom? Fans are buzzing about this Eleven-Max power duo finally stealing the spotlight.
Which one’s calling your name first: cult dread or mall mayhem? Or drop your fave Stranger Things “what if” scenario for Season 5 below.
Friends don’t (let friends read alone),
