INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? A REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK

?It?s perfection, every word, every moment. A masterpiece . . . One of the best books I?ve ever read.? ?Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author

New York Times bestselling author Gillian McAllister has created a thriller unlike any other in this endlessly clever, twisty story of a mother who must move backward through time to prevent tragedy from striking at the heart of her family.

Can you stop a murder after it?s already happened?

It is midnight on the morning of Halloween, and Jen anxiously waits up for her 18-year-old son, Todd, to return home. But worries about his broken curfew transform into something much more dangerous when Todd finally emerges from the darkness. As Jen watches through the window, she sees her funny, seemingly happy teenage son stab a total stranger.

She doesn?t know who the victim is, or why Todd has committed such a devastating act of violence. All she knows is that her life, and Todd?s, have been shattered.

After her son is taken into custody, Jen falls asleep in despair. But when she wakes up?it is yesterday. The murder has not happened yet?and there may be a chance to stop it. Each morning, when Jen wakes, she is further back in the past, first weeks, then years, before the murder. And Jen realizes that somewhere in the past lies the trigger for Todd?s terrible crime?and it is her mission to find it, and prevent it from taking place.

Both the story of a mother?s love and the sacrifices she will make for her child, and a thriller with a brilliant twist, Wrong Place Wrong Time is a one-of-a-kind novel that begs to be read in one sitting.

An extraordinary history of Mishal Husain?s four grandparents, whose lives were shaped by the tumultuous politics and prejudices of empire, war and partition.

In this narrative odyssey that traces the complexities of her own ancestry, Mishal Husain sheds incredible light on a landmark historical period. Mary, a devout Catholic of Anglo-Indian parentage, leaves a struggling family to train as a nurse. Tahirah was born to middle-class Muslim parents and grows up with an emphasis on education and aspiration. Mumtaz steps away from everything and everyone he knows to train as a doctor, while Shahid finds purpose and success as a Sandhurst cadet.

This gripping family history follows a nation becoming ever more divided in the face of social inequality, civil disobedience and the Second World War. Two centuries of British rule in South Asia come to a bloody end with the birth of independent India and the new state of Pakistan, dividing families and communities while leaving a legacy of distrust, tension and conflict that endures today.

In constructing a warm and vivid portrait of an exceptional family, Broken Threads confronts the acute sense of loss brought on by partition, the rupturing of cross-border relationships, and the resulting shift in identities.

Victor and Eli started out as college roommates?brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong.

Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl whose reserved nature obscures a stunning ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find?aside from his sidekick, an enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the archnemeses have set a course for revenge?but who will be left alive at the end?

In Vicious, V. E. Schwab brings to life a gritty comic-book-style world in vivid prose: a world where gaining superpowers doesn’t automatically lead to heroism, and a time when allegiances are called into question.
