Book post! Well this looks truly tense!! 😬😬😬 . Rabbits by @tkmiles . Rabbits is a secret, dangerous and sometimes fatal underground game. The rewards for winning are unclear, but there are rumours of money, CIA recruitment or even immortality. Or it might unlock the universe’s greatest secrets. But everyone knows that the deeper you get, the more deadly the game becomes – and the body count is rising. Since the game first started, ten iterations have taken place . . . and the eleventh round is about to begin. . K can’t get enough of the game and has been trying to find a way in for years. Then Alan Scarpio, reclusive billionaire and alleged Rabbits winner, shows up out of nowhere. And he charges K with a desperate mission. Something has gone badly wrong with the game and K needs to fix it – before Eleven starts – or the world will pay the price. . Five days later, Scarpio is declared missing. . Two weeks after that Eleven begins, so K blows the deadline. . And suddenly, the fate of the entire universe is at stake. . #rabbits #terrymiles #authorsofinstagram #author #booksofinstragram #booksofinsta #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #books #reading #lovebooks #lovereading #bibliophile #booknerd #bookclub #bookaddict #bookstoread #whattoread #thriller #suspense #mystery #danger #game #underground #bookrecommendation #amreading #technothriller

Hand delivered book post: major perks of a sociall Hand delivered book post: major perks of a socially distanced sunset walk! Thank you fabulous Rachel Blok - even nature lit up when it saw this beauty! ❤️📚😍 🔥 🌅 . Into the Fire by @r__blok . Eleven guests. Three nights. One murderer... . In a gorgeous mansion in the Hertfordshire countryside, sisters Lois and Ebba prepare to launch their new venture. Archipelago is an exploitation-free tech company whose virtual reality game promises to unite the worlds of technology, politics and the environment. . Invited to the launch party are their investors: current and ex-politicians, international business moguls and activists, one of whom – Marieke – has been receiving online abuse and death threats for her views on eco-politics. . DCI Maarten Jansen has been summoned to join the house party. He is sure the threats are from online trolls with nothing better to do – he's only offering police protection because his boss wants to put the VIP guests at ease. But when eight of the guests are involved in a suspicious helicopter crash, Maarten starts to uncover long-buried secrets – and a murderer in their midst... . #intothefire #rachaelblok #authorsofinstagram #author #books #reading #lovebooks #lovereading #booknerd #bookclub #bookaddict #booksofinstragram #bookstoread #booksofinsta #bibliophile #whattoread #thriller #suspense #mystery #investigation #escape #bookrecommendation #bookstagram #Thriller #crimebooks #amreading
Book post! When lovely friends, send you lovely bo Book post! When lovely friends, send you lovely books ❤️ 📚 ❤️ . Mrs Death Misses Death by @salena.godden . Mrs Death has had enough. She is exhausted from spending eternity doing her job and now she seeks someone to unburden her conscience to. Wolf Willeford, a troubled young writer, is well acquainted with death, but until now hadn't met Death in person - a black, working-class woman who shape-shifts and does her work unseen. . Enthralled by her stories, Wolf becomes Mrs Death's scribe, and begins to write her memoirs. Using their desk as a vessel and conduit, Wolf travels across time and place with Mrs Death to witness deaths of past and present and discuss what the future holds for humanity. As the two reflect on the losses they have experienced - or, in the case of Mrs Death, facilitated - their friendship grows into a surprising affirmation of hope, resilience and love. All the while, despite her world-weariness, Death must continue to hold humans' fates in her hands, appearing in our lives when we least expect her . . . . #authorsofinstagram #lovebooks #lovereading #booknerd #bookclub #books #reading #bookaddict #booksofinstragram #bookstoread #booksofinsta #bibliophile #whattoread #literaryfiction #contemporatyfiction #bookrecommendation #bookstagram #mrsdeathmissesdeath #salenagodden

Book post! Look at this: not one but two beauties Book post! Look at this: not one but two beauties through the door. 📚❤️👏🏻 Thank you @hodderbooks . The Burning Men by @willshind (DI Alex Finn Book 1) . When a development in South London catches fire mid-construction, a close-knit team of fire fighters runs in to save a man spotted at the window. They come out without a body. They quit the service. They plan never to speak to each other again. Five years later one of them is set alight at his own wedding. Soon after, a second is found, nothing but a smoking corpse. It appears that someone knows what they did that night. What they chose over their duty. And there are still three men left to burn . . . DI Alex Finn and his new partner DC Mattie Paulsen are an unlikely pairing, but they need to discover who is behind these killings before the next man faces the fire. . 📚📚📚📚 . The Killing Choice by @willshind (DI Alex Finn Book 2) . It felt like a normal Friday evening before Karl and his daughter Leah were ambushed by a figure in a blank mask. At knife point, Karl is forced to make an impossible choice. Stay and die, or walk away from Leah and take this thug's word that they both will live. Should Karl trust a villain and leave his daughter with a knife at her throat? Could he ever live with himself if he did? It's not long before more seemingly unconnected and innocent people across London are offered a deal in exchange for their life. More blood is spilled, more families shattered, and more people are left to suffer with the consequences of their decisions. DI Alex Finn and DC Mattie Paulsen must hunt for a killer that appears to have no face, no motive and no conscience before more victims are forced to make their choice. . #authorsofinstagram #lovebooks #lovereading #booknerd #bookclub #books #reading #bookaddict #booksofinstragram #bookstoread #booksofinsta #bibliophile #whattoread #thriller #suspense #detective #crime #investigation #bookrecommendation #bookstagram #willshindler #thekillingchoice #theburningmen
When one of your BFFs gives you her latest dark th When one of your BFFs gives you her latest dark thriller - and signs it with the message ‘character x is not (too much) like you’ 😂😂😂 You/I’ve been warned! Thank you Thomas & Mercer @amazonpublishing . The Push by @evawoodsakaclairemcgowan . The party should have been perfect: six couples from the same baby group, six newborns, a luxurious house. But not everything has gone to plan, and while some are here to celebrate, others have sorrows to drown. When someone falls from the balcony of the house, the secrets and conflicts within the group begin to spill out … DS Alison Hegarty, herself struggling with infertility, is called in to investigate. She’s convinced the fall was not an accident, and finds the new parents have a lot to hide. Wealthy Ed and Monica show off their newborn while their teenage daughter is kept under virtual house arrest. Hazel and Cathy conceived their longed-for baby via an anonymous sperm donor—or so Hazel thinks. Anita and Jeremy planned to adopt from America, but there’s no sign of the child. Kelly, whose violent boyfriend disrupted previous group sessions, came to the party even though she lost her baby. And then there’s Jax, who’s been experiencing strange incidents for months—almost like someone’s out to get her. Is it just a difficult pregnancy? Or could it be payback for something she did in the past? It’s a nightmare of a case, and as events get even darker it begins to look impossible. Only one thing is clear: they all have something to hide. And for one of them, it’s murder. . #authorsofinstagram #lovebooks #lovereading #booknerd #bookclub #books #reading #bookaddict #booksofinstragram #bookstoread #booksofinsta #bibliophile #whattoread #thriller #suspense #mystery #investigation #escape #bookrecommendation #bookstagram #clairemcgowan #thepush

Book post! You know you’ve got a corker when you Book post! You know you’ve got a corker when you’re flicking through it before you’ve even dropped the envelope in the recycling. How fascinating is this? 🔪🩸📚Thank you, Robinson publishers @littlebrownbookgroup_uk . From Aconite to the Zodiac Killer: A Dictionary of Crime by @amandaleeswriter . This is an indispensable guide for fans of true crime and crime fiction, whether in books, film or on TV, who want to look behind the crime, to understand the mechanics of an investigation, to walk in their favourite detectives' shoes and, most importantly, to solve the clues. To do that, one needs to be fluent in the language of the world of crime. We need to know what that world-weary DI is talking about when she refers to another MISPER. We have to immediately grasp the significance of the presence of paraquat, and precisely why it is still a poison of choice. If you want to know how many murders it takes for a killer to be defined as a serial killer, what Philip Marlowe means when he talks about being 'on a confidential lay' and why the 'fruit of a poisonous tree' is a legal term rather than something you should avoid on a country walk, this is the reference book you've been waiting for. It covers police and procedural terms and jargon of many different countries; acronyms; murder methods; criminal definitions, including different types of killers; infamous killers and famous detectives; notorious cases often referred to in crime fiction and true crime; gangster slang, including that of the Eastern European mafia; definitions of illegal drugs; weapons; forensic terminology; types of poisons; words and phrases used in major crime genres, including detective fiction, legal thrillers, courtroom dramas, hardboiled crime, Scandi and Tartan Noir, cosy crime and psychological thrillers; criminology terms; and the language of the courts and the legal systems of British, American, French, Nordic... . #authorsofinstagram #lovebooks #lovereading #booknerd #bookclub #books #reading #bookaddict #booksofinstragram #bookstoread #booksofinsta #bibliophile #whattoread #thriller #suspense #crime #bookrecommendation #bookstagram
