Thank you for this sampler! Many of these books look interesting and I've put several of these novels on my tbr/interest list.

I believe these samplers would be wonderful to offer to book clubs--gives debut authors exposure to readers and opens up possible title choices to dedicated reader. I also appreciated the opportunity to preview My Sister, The Serial Killer, which has made quite a splash in the past year.

Fantastic sampler! A great way to get started on NetGalley, and a great way to pick out my next reads! I was particularly drawn to The Water Cure and My Sister, The Serial Killer. I have already purchased We Cast A Shadow.

I really appreciate having a sampler for debut authors who I likely wouldn't have heard of otherwise. My Sister, The Serial Killer has such an interesting premise and has me on the edge of my seat.

Excellent sampler of everything to come in the fall. It certainly helped me make my pre-list of Fall 2018 books for the newspaper where I work.

I love these sampler books because they let me try new authors who I would not otherwise read. In this sampler, I was most looking forward to My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite and The Kennedy Debutante by Kerri Mather. I have already read the entire My Sister, the Serial Killer and did not like it as much as I hoped I would from the sample I read, but without the sample I would never have read it all.

This sampler of debut fiction for Fall 2018 was easy to navigate with titles clearly displayed at the beginning. There was a nice mix on here of crime, thriller, women's fiction, and even a historical novel. I added five of the titles to my TBR straight away! Samplers are a great way of widening your reading and there are at least two of the five that sparked my interest I wouldn't have looked at before.

Our patrons love reading the debut fiction samplers from Penguin; it is always a huge hit and we often see an uptick in circulation of the books included in the samplers. I do wish they were always offered in print form, as we weren't able to distribute nearly as many of this copy as I have the printed versions. Overall, nice job!

A wonderful selection of books to think about. Difficult to choose which i preferred, but i think the two that appealed most are 'The Kennedy Debutante' and 'Ways to Hide in Winter'.

My thanks to Netgalley and the Publishers for my copy.

As a librarian, I love getting this sampler. It is great to know what should be ordered and to make book recommendations.

I love these samplers! I can read samples and decide to try new authors. It is an easy and enjoyable way to try new authors, especially debut books.

I’m so glad that these exist! These samplers are the perfect way to decide if you want to grab an upcoming book for yourself! I know this one is a little older at the time of posting, but it was still fun to read some fairly new release excerpts! Please check out some of these new titles.

Thanks for the chance to read debut books! I have heard a lot about "My Sister, the Serial Killer: A Novel" by Oyinkan Braithwaite and was especially excited to get to preview it. I enjoyed this sampler!

These novels each have very good leads with just enough detail to pull you in.
Our first story, MY SISTER, THE SERIAL KILLER, by Oyinkan Braithwaite, opens with Ayoola yelling out, "Korede, I killed him."
Killed who? Then comes the narrative or recital of events that will take the reader through, or lead up to what had taken place. Suspense, intrigue. Yes, and even horror. Why did it happen? Was it something that had happened to her that caused the awful situation to occur? Did she actually take a life, or was someone else there with her? Was there anger there, or just numbness? Was it satisfaction? Was it self-defense? So many questions. Need to find out more. Can't wait to finish reading this one. Intriguing!

In SIGHT, by Jessie Greengrass, a novel that will hit you between the eyes as you nestle in for the read. Then, just as suddenly, the reader is left with a cliff-hanger. The suspense starts from the first sentence, and takes you on a high-speed ride that you will never forget.
Vision began to fail as terrible head-aches but not migraines, zoomed in. sometimes faces seemed distorted, words and sounds were becoming hard to distinguish between. What could be wrong. Did she really want to know? Need to read this novel! Sounds interesting indeed!

THE ADULTS, by Caroline Hulse, begins on Christmas Eve, in the middle of a 999 call, with a woman talking to an operator. Someone had been shot in an archery field. Good character build. Wonderful plot that will lead the reader, along with the characters through twists and turns to find out, was it an accident or murder? Was their trip planned? Excitement building. Can't wait to find out what happened.

The plot was hard to follow in this one. The more I read, the more confused I became. It mostly talked about the three sisters. And about Lia in the white cotton dress. The father did not show up at dinner-time. Why? THE WATER CURE, by Sophie Mackintosh, opens with the mother coming out onto the terrace and stopping an argument. They begin searching inside and outside the house for the father. They even searched the pool, but find no sign of him. What could have happened to him? Where could he be? Then suddenly, a boat is missing. Maybe he went for supplies, but why without his protective white suit? Had he been sick? Was it a game, or was it for real? Suspenseful!

THE KENNEDY DEBUTANTE, by Kerri Maher, a picturesque cover page, and an intriguing novel that begins on presentation day, Kathleen Kennedy, called Kick for short, was showing excitement. Why shouldn't she? This was the happiest day of her life, or was it? She had to succeed, knowing the reason why, being the daughter of Rose and Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy. She had to make the whole family proud. But would she? Was more attention leaning toward Rosemary, her sister, than her? Was she just acting in a jealous manner? It could just be her nerves. Then a small incident occurred and Kick was there to the rescue for her sister. Then Lady Aster steered Kick around the room showing her off to everyone. As the evening wore on, Kick and a few of her friends headed for the Storied Nightclub. Great read so far.

In TELL ME YOU'RE MINE, by Elisabeth Noreback, the suspense and intrigue abound in page after page as our story begins with Stella lying on the floor inhaling and exhaling, and talking to herself trying to calm herself down.
She is reliving the past. Why can't she stop thinking about it? Why can't she let it go?
Then Isabella comes into view. Then Stella again. Are they sisters? As the mystery deepens, why is there so much hate? Great characters! Can't wait to read more.

In WE CAST A SHADOW, by Maurice Carlos Ruffin, the story opens with a great paragraph that will lead the reader into a mystery that is about to take place in a mansion for an annual party that sounds very intriguing indeed. But what kind of party? Is there a contest about to unfold? And, as everything is about to take place, something happens. Couldn't help but laugh at what happened, and then I gasped, along with everyone else at one part. Great cliff-hanger. Can't wait to read the rest of the book to find out who and why.

I love Christmas stories. When I saw the title, ONE DAY IN DECEMBER, by Josie Silver, I knew I wanted to read that one. So, as I read suddenly I was transformed into the wonderful scene. Is this a love triangle? Who saw whom first? Who loves whom now? Whose heart will be broken? Will jealousy and revenge creep into the picture? Must read the rest of this story to find out what happened. Great read so far.

In WAYS TO HIDE IN WINTER, by Sarah St. Vincent, a stranger came to town. Or was he a stranger? No one seemed to know him. Why was he there this time of year? He didn't look like a hunter. A mystery indeed.

Great Sampler! I love sneak peeks and knowing what titles and genres are up and coming! This fiction sampler offers a variety of examples and recommendations that any librarian or book lover would appreciate.

I cannot wait until "We Cast a Shadow" and "My Sister, the Serial Killer" comes out!! I am so excited!

There were some really great excerpts included in the Fall 2018 Debut sampler. I'm especially looking forward to reading The Adults by Caroline Hulse.

Thanks for the preview. There were several books in this that look interesting. Will most certainly be checking them out nearer their publication dates.

Thank you for the opportunity to check out sneak peeks of upcoming fall debuts. There are several books I'm looking forward to reading.

This offering is one of my favorites. It helps with ordering and hand selling. Love it! I am already excited for many of the spring titles!
