I loved the samples in this showcase of stories written in 2018. I appreciate to be able to read a couple of chapters of a novel before committing to read the whole story. It gives the reader a chance to decide if the writing and plot is to their liking. I've always hated to fall in love with a book synopsis later to find out I don't like the writing once I've purchased the book. I'll be sure to look for more samples like these in the future.

Fall 2018 Debut Fiction Sampler contains extracts from My Sister, The Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite, Sight by Jessie Greengrass, The Adults by Caroline Hulse, The Water Cure by Sophie Mackintosh, The Kennedy Debutante by Kerri Maher, Tell Me You're Mine by Elizabeth Norebäck, We Cast a Shadow by Maurice Carlos Ruffin, One Day in December by Josie Silver and Ways to Hide in Winter by Sarah St. Vincent. This sampler was a great way to try books by authors I might not have discovered otherwise.

My Sister, The Serial Killer is a thriller novel about Korede whose sister has a habit of killing her boyfriends and then asking her to help clean up the mess. I have read this book and although the premise sounded really unique and interesting, I found myself disappointed by its execution as the book felt quite repetitive and lacked any real emotion.

Sight is a literary fiction about how we see others and ourselves. Straight away the premise of this didn't sound like something I would particularly enjoy and although the extract had some beautiful lines in it, I didn't find myself engrossed in the story so won't be finishing this one.

The Adults is a contemporary fiction about Claire and Matt who are divorced by agree to spend Christmas together for the sake of their daughter Scarlett. The premise of this book and the extract seem really fun and I could definitely see myself picking this book up at some point over the holiday season.

The Water Cure is a dystopian novel about three sisters isolated on an island who are taught to fear men. I thought the premise of this book sounded interested and was intrigued to see how it would play out. However after reading the extract, I found the author's writing style wasn't for me.

The Kennedy Debutante is a historical romance novel set in London in 1938. Usually historical romance isn't really my thing however from the extract I did like the main character so maybe one day I'll pick up this book if I'm in the mood for something a bit different to what I usually read.

Tell Me You're Mine is a domestic thriller novel about a woman who meets a girl who she believes to be the daughter she lost. The title and the premise of this book really intrigued so I was excited to read the extract to get a glimpse of the plot and writing style. The extract was gripping and I now desperately want to read the rest of this book.

We Cast a Shadow is a dystopian satire about a father who is willing to black son white in order to give him a better chance in life. This book sounded fascinating and I enjoyed the writing style of the extract so I'm excited to continue reading this.

One Day in December is a festive, romance novel about Laurie who meets eyes with a man whilst she's on the bus and is convinced it's love at first sight. I don't like the insta-love trope so I wasn't a fan of this extract and therefore wouldn't be interested in reading the rest of this book.

Ways to Hide in Winter is a mystery/thriller set in the Blue Ridge mountains about a woman who befriends a fugitive from Uzbekistan. The premise of this book was really intriguing to me and I thought the setting sounded interesting and atmospheric. The extract did a great job of building up an atmosphere and I have definitely been convinced to read this!

This was a great way to read work by new to me authors. Having being able to read samples of each book, I find myself more inclined to read the full book. Thank you netgalley and Penguin Random House for the advanced reader copy I received for free in exchange for my voluntary honest review

Fantastic sampler to understanding the booking coming out during a time period. We enjoy using these during book club meetings when trying to plan future reads. Please keep these coming.

This sampler was great. It was awesome to see a glimpse into what we have to read. I believe sampires like this help out all readers, but especially those with a social media influence.

Love the Debut Fiction Sampler pack - it's so enjoyable to discover new faves! I loved many, and ended up getting My Sister, the Serial Killer: A Novel by Oyinkan Braithwaite and We Cast a Shadow by Maurice Carlos Ruffin. Thank you, NetGalley!

I love samplers and enjoy being introduced to new authors. I foud two new authors that I liked and went on to buy their books!

A few great excerpts in this one - I particularly loved My sister the serial killer and went on to buy it! There were some others I hadn't heard of at all, and a good variety across the samples.

I’m so addicted to these I’ve even been hunting down the old ones to see if there’s any interesting books I’ve missed!

Am eclectic sampler of 2018 reads that whet my appetite for books I had missed when they appeared in 2018.

I am doing a challenge where I need to read books from each year. I wanted to try and find some books I haven’t heard of before or wanted to sample and see how I liked them. This sampler worked out very well.

I added 1. My Sister, the Serial Killer, 2. We Cast a Shadow 3. Sight 4, The Adults. I really enjoyed reading a sample and have decided to include these as full length book I will read.

Thank you NetGalley for granting me a copy of this guide.

Didn't really see any books that I would be particularly interested in. I am really fussy about my fiction titles.

Fantastic batch of excerpts! My Sister, The Serial Killer is a sure stand out - my favorite of the bunch. The Adults is also an intriguing novel. Will definitely be adding several to my TBR. Highly recommended

Even though this sampler was put out in 2018, I had never read or even heard of most of these books. I love these samplers because I can read little bits of a lot of books and decide which ones I want to add to my TBR list.

I find these sampler's so helpful to assist me in determining what upcoming books I want to read and I anticipate receiving them when they become available.

I never have anything bad to say about these books because it gives you a sneak peek into upcoming releases. There is always a good mix of authors being featured along with release dates. Being able to read excepts definitely gives it another element because there have been books I wasn't sure about buying and then having those few chapters ended up selling me on the book.

I love these because most of the time I discover a book coming out that I didn't know about at first or some hidden gems. It's a great resource to keep you updated on upcoming books.

Some of the book I read, some I did not. Nice way to read a bit about books to help you decide if you want to put it on your reading list or not. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC of the book in return for my honest thoughts.
