A tablet lies on dry grass and surrounded by dandelions in a natural outdoor setting. The screen displays the cover of the book Everybody Is in the Place by Emma J. Gibbon. The cover features a colorful, fantastical illustration of a female figure with glowing eyes and curved horns, holding something mysterious in her hands. Stars and swirling cosmic elements fill the background, giving the cover a magical and otherworldly feel. The title text is in bold, colorful letters across the top and middle, with the author's name at the bottom.

2 February Book Releases I Can’t Wait To Read

2 February Book Releases I Can’t Wait To Read

There are two books that are coming out in February that I absolutely cannot wait for! I preordered one just as soon as it was available on Amazon, and the other I was incredibly lucky and got a spot on a blog tour for.

Let’s dive in!

2 February Book Releases I Can’t Wait To Read

The Lost Man by Jane Harper

Expected publication date: February 5th 2019
Genre: Mystery
Synopsis: 
Two brothers meet at the border of their vast cattle properties under the unrelenting sun of outback Queensland, in this stunning new standalone novel from New York Times bestseller Jane Harper

They are at the stockman’s grave, a landmark so old, no one can remember who is buried there. But today, the scant shadow it casts was the last hope for their middle brother, Cameron. The Bright family’s quiet existence is thrown into grief and anguish. Something had been troubling Cameron. Did he lose hope and walk to his death? Because if he didn’t, the isolation of the outback leaves few suspects…

Dark, suspenseful, and deeply atmospheric, The Lost Man is the highly anticipated next book from the bestselling and award-winning Jane Harper, author of The Dry and Force of Nature.

The Hiding Place by C.J. Tudor
Expected publication date: February 5th, 2019

Genre: Thriller
Synopsis: 
Joe never wanted to come back to Arnhill. After the way things ended with his old gang–the betrayal, the suicide, the murder–and after what happened when his sister went missing, the last thing he wanted to do was return to his hometown. But Joe doesn’t have a choice. Because judging by what was done to that poor Morton kid, what happened all those years ago to Joe’s sister is happening again. And only Joe knows who is really at fault.

Lying his way into a teaching job at his former high school is the easy part. Facing off with former friends who are none too happy to have him back in town–while avoiding the enemies he’s made in the years since–is tougher. But the hardest part of all will be returning to that abandoned mine where it all went wrong and his life changed forever, and finally confronting the shocking, horrifying truth about Arnhill, his sister, and himself. Because for Joe, the worst moment of his life wasn’t the day his sister went missing. It was the day she came back.

Thanks for reading!

    I'm going to give The Hiding Place a look – especially if I can find a copy on audio. I had some issues with The Chalk Man but it had a lot of promise.

    I just finished The Hiding Place and it's pretty good! Also, I am into thrillers with a bit of a supernatural/horror aspect, so I was pretty pleased that it had some of that 😀
