All the Dangerous Things is Stacy Willingham’s second thriller, and it came in as a strong follow-up, with a grim storyline. In it we meet Isabelle, whose son, Mason, was kidnapped from his bedroom a year prior.

Honey & Spice by Bolu Babalola is a witty and heartwarming romance novel that was absolutely FUN to read.
