If You Like Elle Cosimano Books, You’ll Love…
Elle Cosimano Synopses: Finlay Donovan is Killing It by Elle Cosimanois the first novel featuring Finlay Donovan. Finlay Donovan is barely keeping it together. A single mom of two and a struggling novelist, her life is a whirlwind of chaos—her ex-husband just fired the nanny, her latest book is nowhere near written, and this morning, she had to send her four-year-old to school with duct-taped hair after a scissor mishap.
But things really spiral when a stranger overhears Finlay discussing her new suspense novel with her agent and mistakes her for a contract killer. Desperate for cash, she inadvertently accepts an offer to “take care of” someone’s problem husband. Suddenly, Finlay finds herself caught in a real-life murder plot, proving that crime—outside of fiction—is messier, riskier, and way harder to pull off.
Nearly Gone by Elle Cosimano is the first Nearly Boswell novel. Nearly Boswell is an expert at keeping secrets. Growing up in a DC trailer park, she knows better than to reveal anything that might make her a target—like her mother’s job as an exotic dancer, her obsession with the personal ads, or the strange ability she has to taste emotions when she touches someone’s skin.
But when a serial killer starts targeting her classmates, leaving cryptic messages in the newspaper that only Nearly can decipher, she realizes she might be the key to stopping the murders. Desperate for answers, she turns to the one person she shouldn’t trust: the new guy at school—a reformed bad boy working undercover for the police, assigned to keep tabs on her.
Now, Nearly is racing to piece together the clues before time runs out. Because if she doesn’t solve the puzzle soon… she’ll be the next name on the killer’s list.
Seasons of the Storm is the first book in the series of the same name by novelist Elle Cosimano. On a cold, unforgiving night, Jack Sommers was given a choice—die or live forever under the ancient, magical laws of Gaia. He chose life, but at a cost. Now, he is Winter, an immortal embodiment of the season, bound to an endless cycle where each Season hunts the one before it. Summer kills Spring. Autumn kills Summer. Winter kills Autumn. And Spring kills Winter.
But when Jack falls for Fleur, a Spring, their love defies the very nature of their existence. To be together, they must break free from the cycle that’s destined to keep them apart. Yet Gaia does not take rebellion lightly. If they run, she will hunt them. And if they fail… they’ll lose more than just each other.
