Day 1 Chicago ✨ happy happy ✨

▪️THE HOUSE ACROSS THE LAKE is out today! ▪️With this latest, @riley.sager delivers a voyeuristic page-turner rife with fascinating characters, ratcheting suspense, and surprises aplenty.

I love how Sager once again took a familiar setup and made it his own. In this story, an actress heads to her family lake house after an alcoholic binge. Across the lake she spies on a former model and her techie husband, who aren’t the glamorous couple everyone expects. When the wife vanishes, the story spirals in ways unforeseen, culminating in a big-twist finale.

Sager expertly builds a sinister, paranoiac, almost suffocating atmosphere, which I loved, and which really enhanced the narrative. It’s truly perfect for devouring poolside! My spoiler-free review is on the blog this week! ➡️ vilmairis.com/the-house-across-the-lake

I’ve struggled focusing on reading these past several months (anyone else?), but this long weekend, and this book, have been exactly what I’ve needed. I love @alicewriterland books and this latest is out Tuesday and so very good (as expected) // Link in bio, more 👇🏻

Think you know the person you married? Think again…

Things have been wrong with Mr and Mrs Wright for a long time. When Adam and Amelia win a weekend away to Scotland, it might be just what their marriage needs. Self-confessed workaholic and screenwriter Adam Wright has lived with face blindness his whole life. He can’t recognize friends or family, or even his own wife.

Every anniversary the couple exchange traditional gifts--paper, cotton, pottery, tin--and each year Adam’s wife writes him a letter that she never lets him read. Until now. They both know this weekend will make or break their marriage, but they didn’t randomly win this trip. One of them is lying, and someone doesn’t want them to live happily ever after.

Ten years of marriage. Ten years of secrets. And an anniversary they will never forget.

I’m getting that itch to start to change things

I’m reading VELVET WAS THE NIGHT by @silviamg.author, who wrote MEXICAN GOTHIC—a book I absolutely loved! This book is out today and I’m linking it in my stories, and in link in bio. The 📕 scoop 👇🏻

1970s, Mexico City. Maite is a secretary who lives for one thing: the latest issue of Secret Romance. While student protests and political unrest consume the city, Maite escapes into stories of passion and danger.

Her next-door neighbor, Leonora, a beautiful art student, seems to live a life of intrigue and romance that Maite envies. When Leonora disappears under suspicious circumstances, Maite finds herself searching for the missing woman—and journeying deeper into Leonora’s secret life of student radicals and dissidents.

Meanwhile, someone else is also looking for Leonora at the behest of his boss, a shadowy figure who commands goon squads dedicated to squashing political activists. Elvis is an eccentric criminal who longs to escape his own life: He loathes violence and loves old movies and rock ’n’ roll. But as Elvis searches for the missing woman, he watches Maite from a distance—and comes to regard her as a kindred spirit who shares his love of music and the unspoken loneliness of his heart.

Now as Maite and Elvis come closer to discovering the truth behind Leonora’s disappearance, they can no longer escape the danger that threatens to consume their lives, with hitmen, government agents, and Russian spies all aiming to protect Leonora’s secrets—at gunpoint.

Velvet Was the Night is an edgy, simmering historical novel for lovers of smoky noirs and anti-heroes.
