Majesty by Katharine McGee
Genre: Young Adult
Publish Date: September 1, 2020

Summary: The sequel to the smash hit, American Royals, is here!!!  Majesty picks up where we left off, diving right into a flurry of activity. For those who haven’t read American Royals yet (go do that right now!!!!) these novels imagine an America where George Washington was crowned king. His descendants now rule in modern day. | Amazon

My Rating: 4.5 Stars – A rare sequel that lives up to the original!

 

 

 

All The Devils Are Here by Louise Penny (Inspector Gamache #16)
Genre: Mystery
Publish Date: September 1, 2020

Summary: Another installment in the widely popular Inspector Gamache series! If you’re a fan, this will be an auto-buy book. I am still working my way through the series, so admittedly I didn’t look too closely at the synopsis. I’m going to highly recommend this series to literally everyone though. I adore the charming characters, unexpected twists and turns, and beloved Inspector leading the charge. | Amazon

 

 

 

 

Anxious People by Fredrik Backman
Genre: Fiction
Publish Date: September 8, 2020

Summary: In most cases, the summary of Backman’s books doesn’t do them justice. So I’ll just say there’s a hostage situation involving an apartment full of (as the title says) anxious people. The story takes place over just one day, but jumps back in time as we get to know all the characters involved. | Amazon

My Rating: 3 Stars – I’ve heard great reviews from other readers, but this was a little slow and didn’t have the same impact as his other novels.

 

 

 

One by One by Ruth Ware
Genre: Mystery / Thriller
Publish Date: September 8, 2020

Summary: Just in time for colder weather, Ruth Ware brings a chilling thriller to the book world. When a group of employees on a corporate retreat get snowed in at a chalet, at first it seems ideal. But fighting for survival against people you can’t exactly trust turns an idyllic scene into a nightmare. | Amazon

My Rating: 5 Stars – I was riveted from beginning to end!! And I don’t even usually like murder mysteries!
