The Price of Honey (Deadly Ambition #1) by Liane Moriarty is an Amazon Original Stories short story scheduled for publication on April 1, 2026. This short mystery story opens with Honey Beckett riding in an Uber on the way to her husband’s funeral, struggling to process the shocking reality that he is actually gone. The situation feels surreal to her, and as she arrives at the service, the emotions surrounding the day only become more complicated.

While on their way home from Paris, France, Finn and Layla stop at a rest area. When Finn comes back to the car, Layla has disappeared without a trace.

Killman Creek (Stillhouse Lake, #2) by Rachel Caine raises the stakes even higher after the chilling events of the first book. After escaping from prison in Missouri, serial killer Melvin Royal is once again at large and playing a deadly cat-and-mouse game with his ex-wife, Gwen Proctor, and their children. With Lanny and Connor safely hidden under the protection of trusted friends, Gwen teams up with Sam Cade to hunt Melvin down and end his twisted game once and for all. The tension is relentless, and the sense of danger never lets up. Rachel Caine proves once again that sequels don’t have to suffer in quality, because Killman Creek is just as gripping as Stillhouse Lake , if not more so. The story picks up almost immediately where the first book left off, which makes reading the series in order highly recommended if you want the full emotional impact and context. The momentum carries straight through, pulling readers back into Gwen’s nightmare without missing a beat. One...
