The Hiding Season
by Glass, Ava
The Hiding Season pulls you into a claustrophobic, high-stakes game where trust is the most dangerous liability. Ava Glass builds a world of shadows, focusing on the heavy psychological toll of maintaining a double life when your own history is catching up to you. The narrative shifts between perspectives, slowly peeling back layers of a fractured family dynamic that feels just as volatile as the intelligence operations at the center of the plot. You will feel the constant, prickling sensation of being watched, as the pacing balances sharp procedural detail with an underlying sense of dread. This is for readers who prefer their thrillers grounded and character-focused, especially those who enjoy stories where the most lethal secrets are the ones kept from the people closest to you.
