Not Quite Dead Yet by Holly Jackson: Thirty-six hours after being attacked, Jet wakes in the hospital to grim news that a bone fragment is putting pressure on her brain’s arterial wall and will cause a fatal hemorrhage. Jet has two choices: surgery with a slim chance of survival or use her last week to find her murderer. Knowing she’s going to die either way, Jet foregoes surgery and tests all of her limits in the name of justice.

Why Jade Recommends it: I’m going to preface this staff pick by saying it’s a creepy thriller, perfect for this time of year, but you’re going to have to suspend your disbelief while reading this one, starting on page one. Now that we have that out of the way, Jet is racing the clock to find out who her potential murderer is, and like in most thrillers, everyone in her immediate circle has a motive! Without giving much more away, it’s a classic motive that comes out of left field, driving this one; you may see it coming, or you may not. If you’ve enjoyed any of Jeneva Rose’s books (The Perfect Marriage, You Shouldn’t Have Come Here, One of Us is Dead), you’ll likely enjoy this one.
