Reader’s Choice Giveaway – Spring 2025 Edition – Mystery/Suspense Fiction

Signs of spring means my bookish fancy turns to the joy of new releases so it’s time to plot our way into a new season of wonderful reads which is where this Reader’s Choice Week comes into play.

Here’s how this week’s giveaways works: You recommend CHRISTIAN FICTION genre specific titles with release dates in April, May or June 2025 (up to 3 suggestions per genre day) and you have a chance to win one of your recommendations! BUT it’s a little more complicated than that so be sure to read ALL the details before entering.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: These giveaways are available in paperback or ebook format to US and Canadian readers. Ebooks available internationally if you have a .com kindle account (US Amazon)

IT’S SUSPENSE/MYSTERY FICTION GIVEAWAY DAY!

To be entered in the draw just leave a comment (or 3) below, including the title(s) of the books in the Suspense/Mystery Fiction genre you would like to win.

Suspense/Mystery Fiction – a full length story or novella or collection of novellas where mystery is an important part of the plot. The hero or heroine (or both) are often in peril (more so in suspense.) Can be set in any time period and may cross genres such as YA, Amish etc. and may include dual timelines.

How does it work?

Easy Peasy! Make recommendations in the comment section and if you win, you win the book you suggested.

BUT YOU GOTTA FOLLOW THE RULES!

Publication date must be April, May or June 2025

Each day is genre specific, so only submit titles from that genre

Christian Fiction books only please!

You can offer up to three suggestions per genre day BUT they need to be made in 3 separate comments (easier for me to keep track of.)

No email entries this time round since WP comments are working

OF SPECIAL NOTE: IF YOU HAVEN’T COMMENTED ON THIS BLOG BEFORE, YOUR FIRST COMMENT WON’T APPEAR UNTIL I APPROVE IT. AFTER THAT YOUR COMMENTS WILL POST AUTOMATICALLY.

Entrants must submit their own selections (no piggybacking on someone else’s log in.)

It’s helpful to include your email (using AT and DOT instead of @ and . to protect yourself from spammers) but you only need to add it to one of your comments per day. If you choose not to include your email then it’s up to you to contact me if you are a winner.

SPECIAL NOTE: Harper Muse books won’t fit into the giveaway criteria since they aren’t Christian Fiction even though some of our fave authors have moved over to this imprint.

DRAW WILL BE HELD AND WINNER ANNOUNCED ON

Saturday March 29 2025

(You can enter any of the giveaways up until noon on March 29. Winners will be announced later that afternoon.)

    1. Can you believe I haven’t read anything by Robin Patchen yet? I’ve heard of her, of course, but I’ve never dived in. This does look good but it’s the sixth in a series so maybe I should backtrack to the first one? Or are there other books you would recommend? Good luck, Courtney!

      1. I read the fifth book in the series without having reading the previous four and while I’d imagine reading the previous ones would’ve helped a tiny bit, i didn’t feel like I needed to have read the earlier ones. So you couldstart wherever, probably!!!!

    1. Sorry, Kathleen, this one doesn’t fit into the mystery/suspense genre. I’ve checked Amazon, GR, the author and the publisher – none of them has tagged it as mystery or suspense. Feel free to choose another book as a substitute.

      1. All four of the brothers in this series have those bright blue eyes, so I’m guessing they have been AI altered, but really not sure.

    1. FYI – Perilous Obsession is the individual release of a novella from the Cornered collection published in November 2024 — just in case you’ve read that book. Also includes novellas by Lynette Eason and Lynn H Blackburn. I read them all and yes….nothing like a good stalker story. Bwahahaha! Good luck, Diane!

    1. So strange — Justice’s ebook isn’t releasing until May 2nd but the paperback released yesterday. Usually it’s the other way around — and just maybe a week between releases not months! Anyway, since one of the editions fits the spring release criteria it works. Just strange. But it looks great — and Lily Hann is a new-to me author and I do love meeting new authors in novella collections!

      I have the first Secrets to Keep novel (Cara Putman) on my TBR. It’s from the library and I keep renewing it – for some reason I’m scared to start reading. I think I’m intimidated by the legal theme but I’ve read her legal suspense books before and have loved them. So silly. This new release will give me incentive to get cracking! Good luck, Kay!

  44. Embers of Truth by Avrie Swan (April). This isn’t marked mystery or suspense but a Pinkerton has to capture a thief with the help of the heroine and there is a villian in disguise, so that sounds rather mysterious to me.

    1. Oohhh, this is a great find! And I wonder how the romance is going to work out?! I haven’t read the first two books in this series yet but I have one on hold at my library. Sounds so good. Love the mix of Amish and mystery. Good luck, Diane!

      1. These were quick reads written in typical Shelley Shepard Gray fashion. The 1st one seemed to center around romance more than suspense & the 2nd was a bit more angsty. I enjoyed them both!
