Black Dagger Brotherhood Author J.R. Ward to Release 4-Book Romantasy Series

It's 1926 and reapers, the once-human vampires with a terrifying affliction, are on the rise in Harlem. Elise is the reluctant heir to a reaper-hunting empire. Layla is a reaper who lost everything — her parents, friends, and humanity — and she'll never forget how Elise betrayed her. When a new kind of reaper that's more human than monster emerges, Elise and Layla must join forces to uncover the city's darkest secrets. As they explore New York City’s underworld, it gets harder to ignore their intense feelings for one another, even when they know they can never be together.

Hey movie buffs! Did you catch ‘Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1′ but feel like you want more thrills and frills out in the western frontier? You’re in luck, because despite its lackluster run in theatres, ‘Horizon’ is now streaming in our homes via VOD. What’s more, if you have the appetite for more top-notch western movies, we have got you covered.

Few things can make or break a film quite as much as the quality of its acting. Great performances can elevate even the most mediocre of writing and can produce something truly transcendent with the right material. More than other genres, perhaps, thrillers thrive on audiences being able to connect to the characters and situations portrayed. Therefore, acting that can make you empathize with and understand the film's characters, as well as fear them when appropriate, is an essential component to making a great thriller.

John Grisham has hooked millions of readers with his juicy legal thrillers, striking a good balance between high-octane plots and legal realism, drawing on his background as a lawyer. However, this recipe does not always translate well to the screen, with some adaptations of Grisham's work coming out decidedly lackluster. At their worst, they completely fail to understand the appeal of his stories.

We talk about a lot of books on Book Riot every month…a lot. Between our dozens of newsletters, our podcasts, and our on-site content, we’re recommending hundreds of books every month in all genres, age categories, and formats. Hopefully, these recommendations connect you with your next favorite book. But how do we know which of these recs were successful? We don’t have comprehensive data on which recommendations made you read a book — that would be creepy. What we do have, though, is data on which books we linked last month that you clicked on. It’s not a perfect metric for popularity, since we don’t know why you clicked on them, but it’s the closest thing we have. So, here are the top ten most clicked on books on Book Riot last month.

Five of this summer’s best fiction reads

This week’s bestsellers include a couple new titles. First is The Black Bird Oracle by Deborah Harkness, which is the fifth book in the All Souls series that started with A Discovery of Witches. The other is not a surprise: Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance hit the bestseller list after being nominated as Vice President, running alongside Donald Trump. Here at Book Riot, we’ve been writing about the flaws of Hillbilly Elegy for years, especially as a representation of Appalachia. First there was Josh Corman’s Lies, Damn Lies, and Hillbilly Elegy in 2016, then Kendra Winchester’s 15 Books About Appalachia to Read Instead of Hillbilly Elegy in 2020, and even more in years since. Of course, we can’t stop you from reading it, but we can suggest that if you do, you pick up some of these other examples of Appalachian literature to get a more accurate view of the region and the writers who represent it. Now, onto the bestsellers.

The Bestselling Books of the Week, According to All the Lists

Often when we say, “You’ll never guess the plot twist behind this movie, television series, or book,” we’re exaggerating a bit. Some viewers will indeed figure out the plot twist in a movie, tv series, or book, while others won’t, but plot twists can usually be figured out with enough investigation and discernment of the red herrings and clues. Behind Her Eyes is a limited television series based on a popular 2017 novel that starts out with a typical enough psychological thriller plotline, and it has a plot twist no one would ever guess even based on the information given. A psychiatrist husband, David (played by Tom Bateman), starts engaging in an affair with a co-worker (a single mother, Louise, played by Simona Brown) he met at a local bar prior to either of them knowing they would be working together. However, things get a bit more sinister and twisted when Louise starts developing a strange friendship and obsession with his wife, Adele (Eve Hewson), who seems to be holding back dark secrets about the nature of her marriage to David. As Louise begins to investigate, she becomes enmeshed in a complicated love triangle that unravels secrets no one would ever suspect. If you don’t wish to be spoiled, start watching the limited television series now, as it is still available on Netflix.
