Because apparently, if there’s one thing we can’t resist, it’s unnecessarily freaking ourselves out on long Summer evenings. The Stalker by Sarah Alderson will have you hooked right from the start; we’re talking edge of your seat, heart in your throat, heart-pounding suspense here. If fluffy Summer reads aren’t your idea of a good time, this is the complete opposite, just don’t read it when you’re on your own in the house…

If you’ve not heard of Yellowface, where have you been; R F Kuang’s amazing cover has been splashed all over our social media feeds the past couple of months!
