Hayden Panettiere spent her whole life having her story told by other people. She finally wrote it herself, and just as I was finishing her story, she was gone.
I liked Remain on the page, but the trailer has me wondering if this story was always meant to be a movie. Less Nicholas Sparks, more M. Night Shyamalan? Now you have my attention.
A funeral, a time loop, and enough unresolved friendship drama to make one Saturday last forever. Destination Funeral turns emotional baggage into a full-blown supernatural itinerary.
Rocket science is hard enough without adding magic, murder, and pirate treasure to the equation. The Starseekers is wildly imaginative, occasionally overstuffed, and still a pretty fun ride.
Sex scandal, family dysfunction, and a mother who smells a business opportunity. The Lowe Job turns public humiliation into a brand, with plenty of chaos along the way.
One inherited memoir. Four generations of family silence. When Mikan Road Was Ours asks what happens when the past you barely know has been shaping you all along.
Joyce Carol Oates has a talent for finding the exact moment an ordinary day starts to go very, very wrong. The Frenzy: Stories is dark, unsettling, and full of people making the kinds of choices you desperately wish you...
Three sisters, one beloved beach house, and enough emotional baggage to sink the family boat. Down With the Shipmans has all the ingredients for juicy summer drama, but I kept waiting for the story to make bigger waves.
A perfect Beverly Hills marriage, a dead first wife, and one very suspicious housewife. I thought I knew where The Housewife was going, but this twisty domestic thriller had other plans.
A luxury influencer yacht, a billionaire boss, and a hurricane trapping everyone at sea? The Last Time We Drowned turns curated paradise into a claustrophobic nightmare with better lighting.
Rachel Khong’s My Dear You comes in weird and stays weird, with stories about race, love, ghosts, sex dolls, God, and the general inconvenience of being human. Not every story lands, but even the misses are strange...
An orc, a coffee shop, and a second chance at peace. Legends & Lattes: The Graphic Novel is cozy fantasy at its sweetest. Read my review and learn why I gave it 4/5 stars.
Competitive chess has never felt this scandalous. Checkmate turns ambition, ego, and one explosive cheating accusation into a nonfiction thriller that’s nearly impossible to put down.
