Year-End 2016 Mystery & Suspense Favorite Reads + Giveaway

74 Comments Edit


Welcome to my very late Year-End 2016 Favorites!!

 My year end favorite reads are books I've read in 2016 for the first time (and not necessarily all reviewed here - eek! or reviewed in 2016 - a few were posted in January 2017).  They are also not all published in 2016, but majority am. 

 To start it off, here's what's going to happen. Every day in through February 28th (minus Sunday) at 6:00 PM EST, 
  1. I will tell you my favorite reads in the category of the day through their covers (you know how I love covers) and 
  2. you click on them to see my review of the book (in a new window). 
  3. Then you come back and fill out the Rafflecopter for a chance to win a prize! 


(NOT in any specific order!)
    

      

    

  


I started dabbling in the Mystery & Suspense category late 2015, and just love it! As of 2016, this is a genre that I always look forward to. The ones above are just the few that I've narrowed down. There are SOOOO many more 2016 releases that are on my TBR pile/list!  So forgive me if this doesn't cover all my favorite authors or the top mystery and suspense fiction out there!


(1) winner will win a box of Mystery & Suspense books courtesy of the publishers below.

I am still waiting on some prizes to be delivered, so I don't know all the contents yet.
Terms are on the Rafflecopter.

Many thanks to: 




Don't forget these other Top Faves of 2016 and Giveaways!

    I'm a huge fan of Jessica Patchs books. Loved the latest and can't wait for the next. Deep Shadows was the clincher for me to actually enjoy a different style of writing and scenarios

      Awesome. I know what you mean! I've always been interested in dystopian fiction, but they're typically from the general market. This year have been fabulous with Deep Shadows (Remnant series from Vannetta) and the Out of Time series from Nadine Brandines.

    Excellent choices. I'm going to go with another author to mix it up a bit. Elizabeth Goddard and her book Submerged last year. Another great suspense/mystery that I couldn't put down was Amy Leigh Simpson's From Winter's Ashes.
