Oh, I just love these samplers! I was already looking forward to The Bachelorette Party by Camilla Sten, Kelsey Cox's Party of Liars and Stacy Willingham's Forget Me Not. Those excerpts just made me more excited! I actually just finished Parent's Weekend by Alex Finlay so I can vouch for that one being a don't-miss read! Olivia Worley's So Happy Together and Mary Dixie Carter's Marguerite by the Lake were not on my radar, but they are now. Thank you again, #NetGalley and the above-mentioned authors for this sampler!

Loved being able to read snippets if upcoming books. I loved all that samples that were included. Three of my must read authors were included.

Thank you so much for these fantastic samples! I am very intrigued by a few of these especially and I can't wait to dive into these full length titles!

Great Minotaur Sampler this round. All of them thrillers!! And I love a thriller. I am most excited for the Stacy Willingham book. I already have Alex Findlay and Kelsey Cox on my to-read list. I always love reading Minotaur Samplers, and I enjoy getting a chance to read a sneak peek of books. Some books maybe I wouldn’t normally look at.

Thanks to NetGalley and Minotaur Books for a copy of this sampler.

As someone who absolutely lives for thrillers and suspenseful reads, *The Minotaur Sampler, Volume 15* was basically my version of a sneak peek at a thrilling cinematic universe in book form. This volume offers excerpts from upcoming crime, mystery, and psychological thriller novels by some seriously talented authors: Kelsey Cox, Olivia Worley, Camilla Sten, Mary Dixie Carter, Alex Finlay, and Stacy Willingham. If you’re like me and love the rush of getting hooked on a new story before anyone else, this sampler is a total treat. Each excerpt felt like a little appetizer, teasing just enough to make me desperate for the full course. The mix of established and emerging authors was great, and each story brought something fresh to the table. That being said, some excerpts stood out more than others, but that’s always the case with collections like this.

While samplers can sometimes feel frustrating (because I need *more*!), this one did exactly what it was supposed to do: it got me hyped for these upcoming releases. Each excerpt had its own unique strengths, and I appreciated the variety of storytelling styles included. If you’re a fan of crime fiction, psychological thrillers, or mysteries with strong, engaging writing, this is definitely worth checking out.

That being said, I did feel like a couple of excerpts were a little too short to fully sink into the story, but that’s just the nature of samplers. Some grabbed me more than others, but overall, this volume was packed with potential bestsellers.

Would I recommend it? 100% yes, especially if you love thrillers and want a sneak peek at what’s coming next. Just be prepared to immediately add a few more books to your TBR list, because trust me, you’re going to want the full versions ASAP.

Another fabulous collection of books to consider. These samplers really help finalize my reading decisions. Thank you.

I have 3 of these titles waiting on my shelf to read. But I like that I can read a sample of the other 3 to see if I want to request and read. I have a widget for one of them that I am still deciding on accepting, so being able to read a sample is helpful in deciding. I always look forward to these samplers.


Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for this sampler.

Love these samplers! What a great way to get a taste of upcoming new releases.

Thank you to #NetGalley and #MintaurBooks for a free copy of #TheMinotaurSamplerVolume15. All opinions are my own.

Amazing Sampler, I can't wait to read those 6 books. the sampler was just the right tease before they come out.

St. Martin's Press is an excellent publisher partner and I deeply appreciate that they make these samplers available. I am looking forward to requesting (and hopefully reading!) So Happy Together, Forget Me Not, and Party of Liars.

So privileged to receive these samplers I get a preview of exciting upcoming titles, and I can get a sense of whether these books will be ones that I will want to request from Netgalley for review or to simply enjoy as a reader. I am always on the look out for new mystery writers to follow and appreciate the "introductions." Thank you!

Easy to navigate between books, the excerpts and chapters give you a brief but enticing view into these upcoming novels. It’s just enough of a preview to spark your interest. Not only can you find new genres or authors but also getting this preview helps prevent requesting books you won’t enjoy. I’m a fan of St. Martin’s Press & Minotaur Books so choosing this sampler was a no-brainer for me. I had been eying a couple of these titles previously and being able to read these excerpts helped make my decisions on upcoming reads. Thanks for providing this!

Samples from six upcoming Minotaur thrillers! I love these excerpt collections to find new books to put on my radar! Will add several of these thrillers to my TBR.

Thank you Minotaur and NetGalley!

Yay! Another Minotaur Sampler, Volume 15!
I absolutely love getting to read 6 samples from some of my favorite authors!
These are excellent selection of samples to choose from. And I can't wait to dive into these full books and see what all they entail.
