Top 5 Thriller Books To Be Released On July 2025

The appeal of thrillers lies in their capacity to evoke our natural psychological reactions.  Suspense, a condition of tense anticipation that keeps readers on the tip of their seats, is a skill that the genre excels at producing and maintaining.  Thrillers frequently examine risky circumstances, significant stakes, and possible dangers, triggering our fight-or-flight reaction.  In a safe, controlled setting, this physiological response may be oddly thrilling, despite being unpleasant in real life.

The following thriller books are scheduled for publication in July 2025:

1. Stay Away from Him by Andrew DeYoung

Melissa Burke allowed exonerated murderer Thomas Danver to assist her in putting her five-year-old kid to bed on the night she met him. She then went back upstairs to take in the dinner party.  Thomas, a doctor, was really kind.  At the time, she was unaware of his wife's unexplained death.  DeYoung skillfully strikes a balance between incisive insight into the murkiest recesses of the human psyche and narrative suspense.  This is the most memorable and terrifying kind of suspense.  This book is anticipated to be published by Poisoned Pen Press on July 8, 2025.
