✨COVER REVEAL✨
Coming soon from @catequinnauthor and @bookmarked : the next thriller from Cate Quinn, acclaimed author of THE CLINIC and THE BRIDESMAID.
Will she remember the truth? Or disappear forever? 👀
BEFORE I DISAPPEAR is a frenetic thriller about a criminologist who wakes in a remote motel with a new identity, fractured memories, and no idea who she can trust.
Under witness protection with NYPD Detective Sam Hollister on guard, Dr. April Anderson begins to piece together why she fled New York. With her fiancé secretly tracking her and a trial date looming, April must confront her missing memories and the truth she’d rather keep buried. It may just be the key to her survival.
Coming November 10, 2026!

Another icy cover fit for February: the trade paper design for A Killing Cold. ❄❄❄ So thrilled to see this cover all over B&N as the OMP Mystery & Thriller and to see this book become a New York Times Bestseller!!
In honor of this never-ending winter, some snowy cover reveals! ❄❄❄
First up, Little Red Death: A serial killer inspired by classic fairytales. A writer whose work is fueling his twisted imagination. A detective tasked with investigating these disturbing crimes. SAY LESS. I loved working on this cover design!
🍎🐺🔎
Katie wakes up alone in a room that isn’t her own. There are bars on the windows, a padlock on the door. And in the center of the room sits a desk, and on it, a typewriter. Her instructions are simple: write or die.
DI Lyla is on the case of a lifetime, investigating a string of bizarre crimes that the media are calling “The Grimm Reaper Murders”: real-life killings that put a horrifying spin on classic fairytales. But the more she digs into this bizarre case, the more it becomes clear that these crimes have deep ties to an unsolved mystery in her own past - and that the author of this story is leaving little clues meant just for her.
Can she follow the breadcrumbs and turn the final page on these twisted murders?
LITTLE RED DEATH will be published September 8, and is available for preorder now!

✨ Freida McFadden appreciation post ✨
I still pinch myself on a daily basis that not only do I live in a world where I get to read @fmcfaddenauthor 's books, I also get to design them. Each one is so fun and twisty, and a joy to design. Here are some favorites from this year!

COMING JUNE 2, 2026. 💐 THE LIBRARY OF FLOWERS by L.C. Chu is a radiant exploration of family, identity, and the expectations we inherit, perfect for anyone who has ever carried the weight of a legacy―and dared to make it their own.
💐 💐 💐
For centuries, the Hua women have held sway over the courts of emperors and billionaires with their magical perfumes able to stir hearts and ensure fortunes. And in every fifth generation, an eldest daughter is born with the rarest gift of all: the ability to summon true love.
As a long-awaited fifth daughter, Lucy was supposed to be the miracle her exacting mother had been waiting for. But when her magic failed, Lucy fled Vancouver, her legacy, and the expectations that had nearly broken her. Now, years later, she runs a tiny perfume shop tucked away in Toronto's Kensington Market―crafting beautiful, perfectly ordinary scents and keeping her extraordinary past firmly behind her. That is, until a death in the family brings her home...and saddles her with an unwelcome inheritance: the centuries-old Hua family register, brimming with secrets, formulas, and forgotten truths.

Pull down on your safety harnesses, THE DROP by S.R. Masters is coming April 21, 2026!
A terrifyingly twisty, wholly original thriller following a group of amusement park visitors who get stuck on a roller coaster high above the ground—with no way down.
Seven hundred feet in the air, no one can hear you scream.
Some might say that thirtysomething Cady Ellison landed herself a strange creative career, but Cady finally feels like she's found her footing. Now an online theme park influencer, she is invited to the opening of a brand-new park by her old friend, Danny, who wants to use her online profile to help build buzz for its flagship ride, Hysteria, a record-breaking 650 foot-tall roller coaster.
When she arrives at the half-complete theme park site in the middle of the desert, Cady is unexpectedly met with her old college friend group: Femi, an award-winning actor, Naseem, a decorated novelist, and Winston, a member of a popular rock group. Wanting them all to sing the praises of Hysteria online, Danny has arranged an exclusive private ride for them, capped off with the stunning desert sunset. But when their coaster cars get to the top of the first hill, the ride stalls 650 feet above ground. With no one due on site for days and over 100-degree heat awaiting them once the sun rises, the four friends soon realize that they must unravel the secrets from their complicated past if they are to find their way to safety.

So excited to share my cover design for We Would Never Tell by @asjouhanneau ! (Someone please teleport me to that yacht, thankssomuch)
About WE WOULD NEVER TELL:
Gowns. Champagne. Murder.
Hollywood, but make it French, for twelve days straight, as the red carpet rolls out to the riviera for the Cannes Film Festival. The most famous people are all here to celebrate themselves, while the rest of the world watches in awe. And with a heavy dose of envy, at least for three young, ambitious, talented women who can’t seem to climb up from the bottom rung of the Hollywood ladder. As they swirl in the glitz of Cannes, the VIP invitations seem so hard to come by, and the A-list so far away. It’s enough to drive them a little crazy. Enough to make them snap and do things they might—or definitely will—regret.
It’s a good thing they’re invisible . . . until a multi-million-dollar necklace vanishes and a dead body is found floating in the Mediterranean Sea. Then, the heat of the spotlight turns up so hot that they have nowhere to hide. Now their biggest dreams are even further out of reach. Or can you get away with theft and murder if you want it badly enough?
WE WOULD NEVER TELL releases in April 2026 with Sourcebooks Landmark @bookmarked . It’s available to preorder now from any retailer and you can also add it to your TBR on Goodreads!
