Loosened by cocktails and a wound he can't stop pressing, Ted admits that his wife is cheating on him — and that, some nights, he thinks he could kill her for it. To his surprise, Lily doesn't flinch. She calmly agrees that some people simply deserve to die, and offers to help him do it.\n\nWhat starts as an abstract game between two strangers becomes a meticulous plan, and then something far more dangerous. Because Lily is not a bored socialite indulging a fantasy. She has killed before, she has her own reasons for everything she does, and the tidy scheme she and Ted are building has more moving parts — and more hidden players — than either of them will admit.\n\nA modern homage to Patricia Highsmith, Peter Swanson's The Kind Worth Killing is a coiled psychological thriller told through shifting, unreliable points of view. Every chapter recalibrates who is manipulating whom, building toward a game of murder in which trusting the wrong person is the only truly fatal mistake.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjhddwa1yebkm9bhnc9tck.jpg","LH9aT,_L?t%L_M?v.7xtOukso$s:",2015,"3.86",7,[441],{"id":442,"slug":443,"name":444},"01kkfjhddrz67f4y79e301r8ey","peter-swanson-tbik","Peter Swanson",[446,447,451,452,456,460],{"id":340,"name":341,"slug":342,"is_fiction":16},{"id":448,"name":449,"slug":450,"is_fiction":16},5,"Thriller","thriller",{"id":25,"name":26,"slug":27,"is_fiction":16},{"id":453,"name":454,"slug":455,"is_fiction":16},40,"Suspense","suspense",{"id":457,"name":458,"slug":459,"is_fiction":16},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",{"id":461,"name":462,"slug":463,"is_fiction":16},210,"Noir","noir",[465],{"id":466,"slug":467,"name":468,"position":196,"is_main_entry":16,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkfjhdfa77fzhmx6sgxzkza2","henry-kimballlily-kintner-zm8g","Henry Kimball\u002FLily Kintner",{"pace":131,"complexity":7,"audience":84,"mood":470,"themes":473,"setting_period":7,"summary":478,"content_warnings":7},[471,135,87,472],"dark","gritty",[474,424,475,476,477],"unreliable-narrator","morally-grey","revenge","betrayal","A chance airport-bar meeting turns lethal when Ted confesses he'd like his cheating wife dead — and the poised stranger beside him, Lily, offers to help.

Determined to change that, she enters a writing contest with a romance novel of her own, only to realize she has never lived enough of a love life to write one convincingly. Henry Turner has the opposite problem: newly and reluctantly named captain of the Maple Hills men's hockey team, he is struggling through a class with a professor who can't stand him, and he cannot afford to fail. When the two strike a bargain, Halle will tutor Henry, and Henry will take Halle on the dates she needs for her book, they set a single rule between them: don't fall in love. Keeping to it proves harder than either expected. The third book in the Maple Hills series, this fake-dating romance pairs an anxious overachiever with a warm, neurodivergent hero whose character draws on the author's own experience of autism and ADHD. It is the lightest and most comforting entry in the series, built around two friends quietly becoming something more.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kny6nftxzntpvap31jrj74vh.jpg","LCJRLV}[1R9|R8Rii_xI0s9[=s-V",2024,427,[695],{"id":696,"slug":697,"name":698},"01kjq7zm2qgxnsf5764fd4p6dz","hannah-grace-3syl","Hannah Grace",[700,701,702],{"id":652,"name":653,"slug":654,"is_fiction":16},{"id":180,"name":181,"slug":182,"is_fiction":16},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":16},[704,708],{"id":705,"slug":706,"name":707,"position":125,"is_main_entry":16,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjsvg8a9j0wpa8wy89wbzz3j","maple-hills-0f2w","Maple Hills",{"id":709,"slug":710,"name":711,"position":125,"is_main_entry":16,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kx8qjx7kqgc45r5he8xkzm39","the-ucmh-series-xkqs","The UCMH Series",{"pace":81,"complexity":7,"audience":84,"mood":713,"themes":714,"setting_period":7,"summary":719,"content_warnings":7},[233,133,86,538],[715,716,669,717,718],"fake-dating","friends-to-lovers","found-family","slow-burn","A fake-dating pact between an anxious aspiring novelist and a neurodivergent hockey captain who agree not to fall in love; book three of the Maple Hills series.",{"id":721,"slug":722,"title":723,"description":724,"primary_cover_url":725,"cover_blurhash":726,"first_publish_year":727,"community_rating_avg":728,"community_rating_count":652,"page_count":729,"authors":730,"genres":735,"series":739,"enrichment":740},"01kjyg7b7gpbxbjk9cvjbenyzm","the-flatshare-aedz","The Flatshare","Tiffy Moore needs a cheap place to live in London, fast.

But the kingdom is changing. Magic is turning unpredictable, the king's reach is growing, and the manor that once felt untouchable is suddenly full of cracks.\n\nTo protect the people she has come to think of as family, Evie must become more than an assistant. She takes up training in combat, subterfuge, and the darker arts of her employer's trade, stepping into a role that will test her loyalty and her heart in equal measure. Meanwhile, the man she works for is guarding secrets of his own, and the feelings neither of them will name grow harder to ignore.\n\nThe second book in Hannah Nicole Maehrer's bestselling series raises the stakes on its grumpy-sunshine romance while keeping the sharp humor and workplace chaos that made the first so beloved. Apprentice to the Villain deepens the world of Rennedawn as its heroine trades the sidelines for the front lines.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kp22kd79h1rwd47mnap3jfq4.jpg","LAMq;x{y1utR$#buInXl00$*,@S2","4.25",416,[774],{"id":775,"slug":776,"name":777},"01kjyg991b9zyzhqpe4chhcz4w","hannah-nicole-maehrer-8tda","Hannah Nicole Maehrer",[779,782,786,787,788,792],{"id":582,"name":780,"slug":781,"is_fiction":16},"Fantasy","fantasy",{"id":783,"name":784,"slug":785,"is_fiction":16},23,"Romantasy","romantasy",{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":16},{"id":652,"name":653,"slug":654,"is_fiction":16},{"id":789,"name":790,"slug":791,"is_fiction":16},200,"Cozy Fantasy","cozy-fantasy",{"id":345,"name":346,"slug":347,"is_fiction":16},[794],{"id":795,"slug":796,"name":797,"position":600,"is_main_entry":16,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kp22kd962njbsjtenmv1p981","assistant-to-the-villain-33t6","Assistant to the Villain",{"pace":81,"complexity":7,"audience":84,"mood":799,"themes":800,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[133,742,135,86],[669,718,670,475],{"key":802,"params":803,"works":804},"genre",{"genre":34},[805,832,866,893,915,936],{"id":806,"slug":807,"title":808,"description":809,"primary_cover_url":810,"cover_blurhash":811,"first_publish_year":812,"community_rating_avg":813,"community_rating_count":814,"page_count":815,"authors":816,"genres":821,"series":825,"enrichment":829},"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.
