School letting out for summer<\/a> was obviously the pinnacle of every child’s year, but while my friends were counting down the days until they returned to camp or could finally fill their days with Rocket Pops by the neighborhood pool, I was thrilled to have more than those designated 15 minutes of silent reading time in English class. June through August were the three months of the year when I could spend my time in faraway fictional worlds without homework hanging over my head. Now, as an adult, that summer nostalgia lingers, making summer my absolute favorite reading season. Though while most may be reaching for summer romances<\/a> or cozy beach reads<\/a>, there\u2019s another subgenre I can\u2019t help but crave when the temperatures rise: summer thrillers.<\/p>\n Whether it\u2019s a summer slasher, a heat wave pushing someone to the brink, or a good old-fashioned campsite thriller, summer is the perfect time to dive into a page-turning, edge-of-your-seat read. The nights may be shorter, but I\u2019d argue that the eerie summer energy in the air rivals even the spookiest October days. Below, the summer thrillers<\/a> that demand to be binged in one sitting.<\/p>\n In this fast-paced NYC thriller, Jackie Swift\u2019s dangerous choices finally catch up to her when her personal and professional lives collide after her former boss is found dead\u2014and all evidence points to her missing sister. Despite her drug habits and shady connections, Jackie will do whatever it takes to protect her. As she searches for her sister while the NYPD closes in, enemies lurk in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to take her down.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n After returning the dog of a missing girl to her home outside London, Jane Trevally is pulled into a haunting mystery tied to her own dark past. The decaying Thornwood house in Hampstead unlocks long-buried memories and secrets connected to both Jane\u2019s history and the missing teenager. To uncover the truth, Jane must confront the traumatic events of 25 years ago and the darkness she\u2019s tried to forget.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n Fans of Below Deck<\/em> and The Woman in Cabin 10<\/em> will be hooked by this suspenseful mystery following grief-stricken Melanie Hoffman as she boards a luxury yacht for a two-week trip around Greece. But when one of the wealthy co-founders of her friend\u2019s company disappears after overhearing a deadly conversation the night before, Mel leans into her true crime obsession to uncover the truth before she becomes the next person to go overboard.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n Use code ‘TheEverygirl’ to get 3 books for the price of 1 with a new Libro.fm membership<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Set in the foggy coastal town of Haven, California, private investigator Sonny Rush is drawn into a dangerous case when a teenage runaway arrives at her door desperate for someone to trust.
