As she watches him, and as the narrative shifts between Ted, Olivia, and Dee, the reader is pulled into a story where nothing is stable and no account can be trusted.\n\nCatriona Ward's genre-bending psychological horror is a masterclass in misdirection — unbearably tense, deeply unsettling, and built around a structure that reveals itself only piece by piece. To say much more would spoil it; part of its power is how completely it upends what you think you understand.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjf8782g69ew3294mmgqq0.jpg","L7Cs8IIfKl~k^XIK4q^|.NIDa9?S","4.54",[615],{"id":616,"slug":617,"name":618},"01kkfjf872chhy93qka6vq4dvr","catriona-ward-yaht","Catriona Ward",[620,621,622,623,624,628],{"id":84,"name":286,"slug":287,"is_fiction":18},{"id":190,"name":191,"slug":192,"is_fiction":18},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":18},{"id":45,"name":46,"slug":47,"is_fiction":18},{"id":625,"name":626,"slug":627,"is_fiction":18},47,"Gothic","gothic",{"id":629,"name":630,"slug":631,"is_fiction":18},50,"Psychological Horror","psychological-horror",[],{"pace":89,"complexity":7,"audience":92,"mood":634,"themes":635,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[94,96],[100],{"id":637,"slug":638,"title":639,"description":640,"primary_cover_url":641,"cover_blurhash":642,"first_publish_year":382,"community_rating_avg":643,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":489,"authors":644,"genres":649,"series":656,"enrichment":657},"01kkfhb6k8p15mf7dk0px66esq","the-mad-wife-njvm","The Mad Wife","In a tidy 1950s suburb, Lulu Mayfield plays the part of the perfect wife and mother to perfection, keeping her house immaculate and her past buried where no one can see it.

Adeline has fallen into the hands of the very organization Zade Meadows has devoted his life to destroying — a ritualistic network of powerful men who traffic women and children. While Adeline endures captivity, Zade unleashes everything he is to find her.\n\nThe novel is split in two: the first half follows the hunt and rescue; the second follows the long, difficult work of recovery, as Zade and Adeline confront what was done to her and turn toward the people responsible. Their bond is tested by trauma, vengeance, and the question of whether either of them can be whole again.\n\nThe second and final book of H.D. Carlton's Cat and Mouse Duet, Hunting Adeline is an extremely graphic dark romance that deals explicitly with sexual violence, trafficking, and torture. It should only be read alongside its full content warnings.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4n706yj99s0fmcy2n470a.jpg","L16ahts:}Ykq^*X9-A%gjY#SyDoz","4.71",704,[924],{"id":266,"slug":267,"name":268},[926,927,928,929,930,931],{"id":280,"name":281,"slug":282,"is_fiction":18},{"id":91,"name":276,"slug":277,"is_fiction":18},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":18},{"id":272,"name":273,"slug":274,"is_fiction":18},{"id":290,"name":291,"slug":292,"is_fiction":18},{"id":190,"name":191,"slug":192,"is_fiction":18},[933],{"id":934,"slug":935,"name":936,"position":140,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kmrxf1h74zby0ezmevyxnkx3","cat-and-mouse-glm4","Cat and Mouse",{"pace":89,"complexity":7,"audience":92,"mood":938,"themes":939,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[94,95],[940],"revenge",{"id":942,"slug":943,"title":944,"description":945,"primary_cover_url":946,"cover_blurhash":947,"first_publish_year":261,"community_rating_avg":948,"community_rating_count":84,"page_count":949,"authors":950,"genres":952,"series":956,"enrichment":961},"01kjq827hesr3wapn1dsear79h","king-of-wrath-an82","King of Wrath","Dante Russo is a billionaire CEO who lives for control, until a blackmail threat against his family forces him into an engagement he never wanted. Vivian Lau is the poised heiress on the other end of the arrangement, marrying to elevate her family's standing even as she chafes at being treated as a pawn. What begins as a frosty marriage of convenience between two strangers slowly warms into something neither planned, even as Dante plots his revenge against the man who cornered him. The first book in the Kings of Sin series introduces Ana Huang's central conceit: seven morally grey billionaires, each embodying one of the seven deadly sins. Sharing a universe with the Twisted books, it opens the series on wrath, and on a forced union that turns dangerously real.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4n3p5m58tt1psfp5vdd35.jpg","LBRMPR_4.S-q_3t6MxR+.8oMIAxt","4.04",456,[951],{"id":871,"slug":872,"name":873},[953,954,955],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":18},{"id":91,"name":276,"slug":277,"is_fiction":18},{"id":280,"name":281,"slug":282,"is_fiction":18},[957],{"id":958,"slug":959,"name":960,"position":506,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq827jcyeb2vsthawxy5ths","kings-of-sin-0gb0","Kings of Sin",{"pace":89,"complexity":7,"audience":92,"mood":962,"themes":963,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[449,95,94],[964,940],"marriage-of-convenience",{"key":966,"params":967,"works":968},"genre",{"genre":30},[969,1003,1029,1052,1083,1128],{"id":970,"slug":971,"title":972,"description":973,"primary_cover_url":974,"cover_blurhash":975,"first_publish_year":976,"community_rating_avg":977,"community_rating_count":978,"page_count":979,"authors":980,"genres":985,"series":999,"enrichment":1000},"01kjq81jxttpx1k2dtwgbkfbjf","the-fault-in-our-stars-18go","The Fault in Our Stars","Hazel Grace Lancaster is sixteen and has lived with terminal thyroid cancer for years, kept alive by an experimental drug and tethered to a portable oxygen tank. Wry, guarded, and impatient with the platitudes that surround the dying, she attends a support group mostly to appease her mother. There she meets Augustus Waters, a confident seventeen-year-old in remission from osteosarcoma who lost part of a leg to the disease and who is preoccupied with the fear of leaving no mark on the world.\n\nTheir friendship turns into a tentative, clear-eyed romance built on shared humor, a love of books, and an unwillingness to pretend that illness is noble. Hazel's favorite novel, An Imperial Affliction, ends mid-sentence, and Augustus arranges a trip to Amsterdam so the two can ask its reclusive author what happens to the characters after the final page.\n\nJohn Green writes about young people facing mortality without sentimentality or easy uplift. The Fault in Our Stars is a story about first love, the search for meaning, and the difference between being remembered and being loved while you are here. Sharp and funny as often as it is devastating, it became one of the defining young-adult novels of its decade.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq81jyys7q17nxxanmnynmf.jpg","LME;QIS85tba00WB%Mof1Bxn$eRp",2012,"4.05",20,157,[981],{"id":982,"slug":983,"name":984},"01kjq81jxz2vbbw46jxtq1n6e2","john-green-ko8x","John Green",[986,990,994,995,996,997,998],{"id":987,"name":988,"slug":989,"is_fiction":17},96,"Psychology","psychology",{"id":991,"name":992,"slug":993,"is_fiction":18},16,"Young Adult","young-adult",{"id":848,"name":849,"slug":850,"is_fiction":18},{"id":91,"name":276,"slug":277,"is_fiction":18},{"id":839,"name":840,"slug":841,"is_fiction":18},{"id":805,"name":806,"slug":807,"is_fiction":18},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":90,"complexity":7,"audience":814,"mood":1001,"themes":1002,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[97,143],[],{"id":1004,"slug":1005,"title":1006,"description":1007,"primary_cover_url":1008,"cover_blurhash":1009,"first_publish_year":413,"community_rating_avg":1010,"community_rating_count":1011,"page_count":1012,"authors":1013,"genres":1018,"series":1022,"enrichment":1026},"01kjq7efsxw3vrpma5cf4pnwxy","the-love-hypothesis-m4wi","The Love Hypothesis","As a third-year PhD candidate in biology at Stanford, Olive Smith is sure of two things: experimental data, and the idea that romantic love is a fiction people tell themselves.

What begins as a tidy arrangement grows complicated as conference travel, lab politics, and Adam's unexpected steadiness start to blur the line between performance and feeling.\n\nAli Hazelwood's debut is a warm, funny STEM rom-com about a heroine who trusts her hypotheses more than her heart, and the grumpy academic who makes her want to revise them.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6rw4ba9ygc3pb0f3vam5a.jpg","LVFQF2}@JBIq0f9as,%2k?o~RPRP","3.97",17,395,[1014],{"id":1015,"slug":1016,"name":1017},"01kjq7eft1103spcym1x8024nz","ali-hazelwood-sext","Ali Hazelwood",[1019,1020,1021],{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":18},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":18},{"id":91,"name":276,"slug":277,"is_fiction":18},[1023],{"id":1024,"slug":1025,"name":1006,"position":506,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkd35sc8f9evpt2f7t5cevqg","the-love-hypothesis-t2ry",{"pace":90,"complexity":7,"audience":92,"mood":1027,"themes":1028,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[143,449,816],[913,890],{"id":1030,"slug":1031,"title":1032,"description":1033,"primary_cover_url":1034,"cover_blurhash":1035,"first_publish_year":119,"community_rating_avg":1036,"community_rating_count":991,"page_count":1037,"authors":1038,"genres":1043,"series":1048,"enrichment":1049},"01kjr36exx0mgy73hdkwd2k464","normal-people-w8zq","Normal People","Set in Ireland, Normal People follows Connell and Marianne, two young people from the same small town in County Sligo whose lives stay quietly entangled over several years. At school Connell is well-liked and Marianne is a prickly outsider, yet a private understanding forms between them that neither is willing to make public. When both leave for Trinity College Dublin their social positions reverse, and the pull between them survives new relationships, class anxiety, long silences, and repeated misreadings of each other's intentions.\n\nSally Rooney charts the shifting balance of power between the two with unusual attention to the small betrayals and tendernesses that shape an intimate relationship. Money, status, and the difficulty of asking plainly for what you want run beneath nearly every scene, as do questions of mental health, control, and belonging.\n\nWritten in spare, present-tense prose that moves fluidly between the two characters, the novel is less a conventional romance than a study of how two people keep finding their way back to each other while struggling to say what they mean. It is a portrait of first love and its long aftershocks, and of the ordinary damage people do to those they are closest to.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz3pr95f2cejb0bvtzdh96n.jpg","LCB=tt.SVF.S*1WQaRorImInM|NG","3.53",296,[1039],{"id":1040,"slug":1041,"name":1042},"01kjr36ey7j8s2ratfqdpc0mnt","sally-rooney-qsg5","Sally Rooney",[1044,1045,1046,1047],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":18},{"id":433,"name":434,"slug":435,"is_fiction":18},{"id":848,"name":849,"slug":850,"is_fiction":18},{"id":91,"name":276,"slug":277,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":90,"complexity":7,"audience":92,"mood":1050,"themes":1051,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[448,97],[],{"id":1053,"slug":1054,"title":1055,"description":1056,"primary_cover_url":1057,"cover_blurhash":1058,"first_publish_year":1059,"community_rating_avg":383,"community_rating_count":839,"page_count":1060,"authors":1061,"genres":1066,"series":1075,"enrichment":1080},"01kjrg3zv1w7h80stjtcskmp0c","the-deal-zdsd","The Deal","Hannah Wells has worked hard to leave a painful past behind and build a steady life at Briar University.
