by Rachel Howzell Hall (Forge) Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle.

by Carl Hiaasen (Knopf) In this fabulous Florida tale, Hiaasen’s fictional president’s code name is Mastodon (of course it is); the first lady is Mockingbird (innocent, she’s not).

by Paul Tremblay (Morrow) Yes, this is a book about an apocalyptic virus, but it’s also a sensational thriller about two women – one pregnant, one a doctor – racing to get the pregnant Natalie a vaccine before she becomes feral. This book left me breathless and terrified and thoroughly entertained.
by Elizabeth Thomas (Custom House) In this off-kilter gothic thriller about an elite boarding school, Thomas explores the relationship between desire and identity. The title alludes to Emily Brontë’s iconic heroine – Catherine Earnshaw in “Wuthering Heights,” and the school’s locked tower, where nonconformists are hidden away, is a wicked homage t...
