A.M. Shine
Surprisingly boring Irish folklore horror. His last book was better.
Enshittification
Cory Doctorow
Once you see it, you can't unsee it. Everything is getting worse and this is why.
Red Rising (books 1-3)
Pierce Brown
Not normally a sci-fi guy, but I'm always down for an anti-imperial/let's tear down the corrupt system story. Main character was a bit of a downer.
The Keeper
Tana French
Tana French has become one of my favourite authors but this third entry in her current trilogy landed a bit weak for me in comparison to her other works

Matt Dinnaman
The most fun I've had reading in decades
