First Tuesday in June New Books Megalist!

YAY, NEW BOOK DAY! It’s the first Tuesday of the month, which means there’s a HUGE amount of new titles out today. I’ve got a big, sexy list for you below. And you can hear about several of these books on this week’s episode of the All the Books! Rebecca and I talked about a few amazing books we loved, such as She Rides Shotgun, The Art of Living, and Magpie Murders.

This week’s newsletter is sponsored by The Possible by Tara Altebrando.

From the author of The Leaving comes another twisty psychological suspense thriller. It’s been thirteen years since Kaylee’s biological mother, Crystal, once infamous for her supposed telekinetic ability, got a life sentence for killing Kaylee’s little brother in a fit of telekinetic rage. Today, Kaylee’s living a normal life with her adoptive parents until a woman shows up on Kaylee’s doorstep, asking to interview her for a podcast. Was the whole telekinesis thing a hoax, or does Crystal have some kind of special powers? Is it possible that Kaylee has them, too?
