What if hide and seek was a sinister game? That’s the premise of this intense YA novel (but you can enjoy it no matter how old you are) by author Daka Hermon. Perfect for Spooky Season!

Crime is my favorite genre and no one did it better than the master. Involving stories, shady heroes and dialogue as crisp as a fall day, you can’t go wrong with anything by Dutch.
Elmore Leonard(1925-2013)
Love crime stories? You need to be reading Michael Connelly. Considered by many to be the heir apparent of the master himself, Elmore Leonard, his books are always a good read.
Michael Connelly
Yes it’s a classic. Yes you read it in high school. But pick it up again cause it’s a great read no matter how old you are.
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
This classic still packs a punch even today. Haven’t read it since high school? Pick it up and remember why you loved it back then. Stay gold.

One of my favorite comedians is Cristela Alonzo. Her comedy is funny as well as will bring a tear or two. She is such a great storyteller. And this is her story.
Music to My Years: A Mixtape Memoir
Another of my favorite authors and crime writers. I love Hiaasen’s offbeat style and quirky characters. And he always takes you deep into the weirdness of Florida.
Fever Beach: A Novel
This was Dave Barry’s fiction debut and it reminds of a Hiaasen and Leonard novel with its quirky characters yet it is still totally original. If you’re a fan of crime fiction that also makes you laugh, this is the book for you.
Big Trouble
After you finish Hide & Seeker, you have to read the follow up. That is, if you’re brave enough.
Nightmare King
Nate Bargatze claims he was a genius until he fell and hit his head when he was 7 years old and all that knowledge disappeared. Read his book and see if you agree.
