Just Released: Everyone Is Lying to You by Jo Piazza

New release Everyone Is Lying to You is a thriller that pulls no punches. Jo Piazza crafts a razor-sharp exploration of trust, deception, and the ways we justify our worst choices. The plot twists come fast, the tension is high, and the characters are layered with secrets just waiting to explode.

If you love a psychological thriller that keeps you flipping pages long past bedtime, this one is for you. I couldn’t put it down—each chapter ended with a new question, a new theory, or a shocking turn I didn’t see coming. It’s a reminder that the people closest to us can sometimes be the ones hiding the biggest lies.

Trending on TikTok: The Pumpkin Spice Café by Laurie Gilmore

If you're ready to trade suspense for soft sweaters and pumpkin-flavored everything, look no further. The Pumpkin Spice Café is already a viral hit thanks to #BookTok, and the paperback is available now!

It’s a warm and cozy romance set in a small-town café, filled with fall charm, lovable characters, and a storyline that feels like a comforting hug. This one’s made for crisp mornings and candles flickering in the background.

But here’s the fun part: a hardcover edition is available for pre-order (grab it here), and it features gorgeous printed edge pages that make it perfect for collectors or gifting. If you’re someone who loves beautiful books on your shelf, don’t miss this edition.

Two Reads, Two Moods = One Happy Reader

While Everyone Is Lying to You will leave your heart pounding, The Pumpkin Spice Café looks ready to wrap it in a hug. These books couldn’t be more different, but both offer exactly what readers are looking for—whether that’s a jolt of adrenaline or a cozy escape.

So whatever your reading mood, get ready: this is shaping up to be a season of standout stories.
