The Intruder by Freida McFadden<\/p>\n
Release date: October 7<\/p>\n
Freida McFadden The Intruder<\/p>\n 4<\/p>\n While it might be the fourth Freida McFadden book to be published in 2025, The Intruder just so happens to be one of her best. <\/p>\n With a \u2018cabin in the woods\u2019 setting and an incoming storm threatening to sweep in, Casey\u2019s biggest concern is that the cabin\u2019s ramshackle roof won\u2019t survive the night. That is, until she finds a young girl lurking outside. Not only is she alone, but she\u2019s covered in blood, holding a knife and won\u2019t offer up an explanation as to how she stumbled across the remote location.<\/p>\n Will offering her a place to wait out the storm be the biggest mistake that Casey has ever made? Or could there be more to the story? From her trademark twists to a dual POV that keeps you on the edge of your seat, just who is this intruder, and what does she have planned?<\/p>\n Freida McFadden’s The Intruder is 30% off right now if you preorder at Amazon<\/a>, down to $19.58 from its initial list price of $27.99, and even cheaper in the UK, just \u00a34.99 and 50% right now<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Rose Field: The Book of Dust Vol. 3 by Philip Pullman<\/p>\n Release date: October 23<\/p>\n Philip Pullman The Rose Field: The Book of Dust Volume Three<\/p>\n 2<\/p>\n It might have been six years since the last instalment in The Book Of Dust series; however, the third book is well worth the wait.<\/p>\n When readers last saw Lyra, she was alone in the deserted ruins of a city haunted by daemons, as she searched for Pantalaimon. At the same time, Malcolm is looking for Lyra, with all three following the trail of roses said to hold the secret of Dust.<\/p>\n This most recent outing sees their paths converge, and in doing so, they must accept the help of everyone from spies and thieves to gryphons and witches.<\/p>\n Moving east, towards the red building that will reunite them and give them the answers they\u2019ve been searching for, the Magisterium is moving in the same direction, with everything that Lyra cares about being on the line.<\/p>\n Mate by Ali Hazelwood<\/p>\n Release date: October 7<\/p>\n Ali Hazelwood Mate<\/p>\n 3<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve not yet picked up Ali Hazelwood\u2019s first foray into all things vampires and werewolves, Bride<\/a>, then we highly recommend giving it a read before the companion novel, Mate, is released at the start of this month.<\/p>\n For those who have read the first book already, you will probably remember Serena. This new story revolves around her and the issues that have blighted her since she came forward as the first Human-Were-hybrid of their kind.<\/p>\n Instead of bringing the opposing sides together, the reveal makes her a target, so she has no choice but to turn to the Alpha of the Northwest pack, Koen, to become his mate. <\/p>\n Even if they don\u2019t care about each other in that way, at least not yet, doing so should keep her safe. But the power-hungry vampires and werebeasts aren\u2019t the only dangers to her, as her past threatens to catch up with her, too. And Koen might be the only thing standing between her and complete destruction.<\/p>\n King Sorrow by Joe Hill<\/p>\n Release date: October 21<\/p>\n Joe Hill King Sorrow<\/p>\n 2<\/p>\n Returning with his first novel in almost a decade, Joe Hill is known for his cinematic storytelling, with many of his hit stories making their way onto our screens. His latest tale follows student and bookish dreamer, Arthur, who finds himself being forced to steal the rare and valuable books from the college library by a duo of local drug dealers.<\/p>\n With no idea how to get out of the predicament, he turns to his closest friends for help. The plan they put together involves summoning a fabled dragon, King Sorrow, but even though they don\u2019t anticipate it will actually work.<\/p>\n The story sees the six of them enter into a deadly bargain whereby each year they will need to choose a new sacrifice for King Sorrow to stop it consuming one of them. <\/p>\n With unexpected consequences that none of them can predict or control, this almost 900-page beast of a book just went to the top of our TBR (to be read) list.<\/p>\n Alchemy of Secrets by Stephanie Garber<\/p>\n Release date: October 7<\/p>\n Stephanie Garber Alchemy of Secrets<\/p>\n 3<\/p>\n The bestselling author of the Caraval<\/a> and Once Upon a Broken Heart<\/a> books, Stephanie Garber, is releasing her first adult novel this month.<\/p>\n What would you do if someone could supposedly tell you the exact date and time of your death? Well, after Holland pays a visit to a local legend, the Watch Man, he reveals that she will die at midnight the following night, unless she finds an ancient object known as the Alchemical Heart.<\/p>\n In her quest to do so, before time quite literally runs out, Holland finds herself pulled deeper into the magical world and the path of an alluring stranger.<\/p>\n While she is wary of him to begin with, as they start to chase the clues that will hopefully bring them closer to finding what they\u2019re looking for, she quickly realises that everyone, even the stranger, is lying to her. And if she doesn\u2019t figure out who to trust, even the magical Heart won\u2019t be enough to save her.<\/p>\n Bookish Deal Alert: 3 Months of Audible for $0.99\/Month Audible Premium Plus<\/p>\n 2<\/p>\n Get your first three months for $0.99\/month.

From her beloved book club, which still offers up brilliant recommendations to this day, to her production company, bringing books such as Big Little Lies, Little Fires Everywhere and Where the Crawdads Sing to our screens, it\u2019s probably not too surprising that she would write a book. And her very first one sees her team up with crime writer Harlan Coben to tell the story of Maggie McCabe, a renowned army combat surgeon.<\/p>\n After a series of personal tragedies befall her, Maggie finds herself being thrown a lifeline by a former colleague, an elite surgeon whose anonymous clientele demands the very best care\u2013and discretion\u2013money can buy. But when her patient, one of the world\u2019s most mysterious men, suddenly disappears while under her care, she must go off-grid and become a fugitive herself, or she could be next.<\/p>\n The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow<\/p>\n Release date: October 28 (US) and October 30 (UK)<\/p>\n Alix E. Harrow The Everlasting<\/p>\n 3<\/p>\n Combining fantasy, an epic love story and some time travel, The Everlasting revolves around a legendary lady knight and the historian who has been sent back in time to ensure that her story is told correctly. What they don\u2019t realise is the forces at work, beyond their control, which will intertwine their fates.<\/p>\n The orphaned girl who became a knight and died for her queen and country, Sir Una Everlasting inspired an entire nation. And her legacy and legend live on to this day through songs, stories and recruiting posters. But her life, as it truly happened, has been forgotten. It\u2019s only centuries later that failed soldier and struggling scholar, Owen, has the chance to rewrite history and change both of their lives in the process.<\/p>\n Hazelthorn by C.G. Drews<\/p>\n Release date: October 28 (US) and October 30 (UK)<\/p>\n C.G. Drews Hazelthorn<\/p>\n 2<\/p>\n Giving us the gothic vibes that many of us (myself included) crave at this time of year, this story follows Evander. After being taken in by a reclusive billionaire, he moves to the Hazelthorn estate, and there are rules that he must follow.<\/p>\n Namely, that he can never leave the property, go out into the gardens or be alone with Laurie, the boy who tried to kill him seven years ago. But when his guardian is killed and Hazelthorn and his vast wealth are left to Evander, the one person that he has been warned to stay away from might be the only one who can help him find the murderer before they come for him next.<\/p>\n Brilliantly blending YA (young adult) horror and a queer dark romance, Evander quickly realises that what he has inherited might not be all that it seems. With secrets abound and the outdoors and overgrown garden ominously seeping inside, he must discover what is happening before Hazelthorn’s exterior demands to be fed.<\/p>\n Boom Town by Nic Stone<\/p>\n Release date: October 14<\/p>\n Nic Stone Boom Town<\/p>\n 2<\/p>\n Already drawing comparisons to Gillian Flynn\u2019s Gone Girl, mixed with the TV show P-Valley, Boom Town transports readers to Atlanta\u2019s most notorious gentlemen’s club and follows former headliner Michah, stage name Lyriq, as she attempts to discover exactly what is going on after a new daytime dancer doesn\u2019t clock in for her shift. With her former partner\u2013and lover\u2013vanishing under similar circumstances, this isn\u2019t a one-off.<\/p>\n What ensues is a slow-burning mystery thriller that pulls you into the city\u2019s underworld as Michah stirs up a whole lot of privilege, power and deceit. And as she does so, she soon begins to wonder whether her search for the truth and the missing women could be putting her own life in danger.<\/p>\n The Lucky Ride by Yasushi Kitagawa<\/p>\n Release date: October 7<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/the-intruder-1759488641074.jpg\")
