1. 25 Alive

James Paterson

Maxine Paetro

Array

Rating:  ★★☆☆☆ Gold tones, a woman with a gun, and big action vibes—but it’s Book 25 in a series we never met. Sorry, Patterson, we’re sitting this one out.

2. King of Envy

Ana Huang

Array

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ A cool title gets lost in a vague, perfume-bottle-meets-hand-grenade cover. We're confused, and not in a good way.

13. James

Percival Everett

Array

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ This seems to be about a guy named James with a bindle, off on some journey—hardly a thrilling invitation to dive in.

14. Blood Moon

Sandra Brown

Array

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ We’ll give it credit for an intriguing title, but we wish we could actually see the image. Sandra Brown, tone it down.

15. Far From Home

Danielle Stelle

Array

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ A pleasant but forgettable cover that doesn’t give us much reason to open the book.

Wild and Wrangled

Lyla Sage

Array

Rating: ★★★★☆ Vintage romance art and tattooed cowboy vibes? This cover wrangled our full attention—and four stars.

Strangers In Time

David Baldacci

Array

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ Rain, warplanes, and Big Ben. This cover brings the drama, but not much else. We expected more spark from this time-jumping tale.

The Perfect Divorce

Jeneva Rose

Array

Rating: ★★★★☆ A bleeding book. A slashed-up title. And a tagline that’s basically a threat. Yeah, we’re turning the page.

Say You’ll Remember Me

Abby Jiminez

Array

Rating: ★★★★★ This cover gives us nothing but "summer read" vibes—and bland ones at that.
