Snow storms all over the world are the last statment of this winter. At least we hope so. But it's a very good reason to spend your evening at home reading a book before naughty spring invites you outdoors. So take a look at our February Top 5 of new book releases and dive into the world of exciting stories:
by Lauren Groff
One of the finest American writers comes back with the book of her new stories after her famous Florida. She crafts nine fiercely luminous stories that span from the 1950s to the present, tracing lives across New England, Florida, and California as ordinary people confront the eternal struggle between their better angels and darker impulses. Bound by the idea that within every person “an animal and a god” wrestle for dominance, the collection captures the fragile, often heartbreaking moments when compassion yields to fear or violence - and when, against the odds, grace prevails.
by Mary Kubica
There's no better thing in a snowy evening than a well-ploted murder mystery. Courtney Gray’s lakeside vacation turns into a nightmare when she discovers her brother and sister-in-law murdered and her niece Reese missing, while her young nephew is found unharmed upstairs. As police investigate the quiet resort town, buried family secrets and simmering tensions rise to the surface, casting doubt on everyone—including Reese herself. Determined to uncover the truth, Courtney plunges into a web of lies and suspicion, only to realize that in a place where everyone is hiding something, trust may be the deadliest risk of all.
by Tayari Jones
If you've read The American Marriage, you will enjoy reading a new novel of this award-winning author. In Honeysuckle, Louisiana, motherless neighbors Vernice and Annie grow up as inseparable friends, yet their lives diverge dramatically. Steadied by a devoted aunt, Vernice leaves for Spelman College and rises into a world of influence and affluence through sisterhood and marriage. Annie, haunted by her mother’s abandonment, embarks on a restless search to fill that void—a journey that draws her into danger, passion, and ultimately a fight for her life.
by James Rollins
This one should be a real fun for murdery mystery and adventure lovers. When a professor is ritually murdered at the University of Exeter, suspicion centers on his postgraduate students, especially American scholar Sharyn Karr, whom he secretly entrusted with an encrypted diary linked to the mystic Comte de Saint-Germain and a warning to “trust no one.” Teaming up with brilliant codebreaker Duncan Maxwell, she uncovers a claim of immortality hidden within its pages. Hunted across Europe by authorities and a shadowy cabal, they must unravel the diary’s explosive secret before it reshapes history itself.
by Gisèle Pelicot
Non-fiction readers might be interested in the powerful memoir of Gisèle Pelicot, the woman who was in all criminal cronicals a couple of years ago as a victim of a terrible crime. Gisèle Pelicot recounts how her life changed when, on November 2, 2024, she waived her right to anonymity during the trial of her husband and fifty men accused of sexually assaulting her. By insisting that shame must shift from victims to perpetrators, she ignited a global reckoning on sexual violence and consent, reclaiming her story to inspire strength and resilience in others.
