If you’re like us on any weekend getaway or family vacation, you need a way to relax, unwind and have some alone time.

What better way to find an excuse to do so than by reading a book by some of the top authors known to captivate their audiences with thrilling mysteries and spicy romances. Take a look at some of the books we’ve been loving the past few weeks in this month’s roundup.

Colleen Hoover's Verity 

“Sublimely creepy with a true Hoover pulse. I’ve been waiting on a thriller like this for years.”
-Tarryn Fisher, NYT bestselling author

Taylor Jenkins Reid's Daisy Jones & The Six 

“In an impressive feat of imagination, Taylor Jenkins Reid creates a meticulous history for a ‘70s rock band that never existed — though reading the book, which takes the shape of a transcript from a rock documentary, you might briefly think otherwise.”
-Refinery29

Linda Holmes' Evvie Drake Starts Over

“Everything a romantic comedy should be: witty, relatable, and a little complicated.”
-People

Lucy Foley's The Guest List 

"Evok[es] the great Agatha Christie classics…Pay close attention to seemingly throwaway details about the characters’ pasts. They are all clues.”
- New York Times Book Review

Elin Hilderbrand's The Perfect Couple 

"One of this summer's must-reads that is all at once quick paced, compulsively readable, and thought provoking. An entertaining yet observant look at the surprising secrets that can fester
and erupt in marriage."
-Patriot-Ledger
