Adrenaline Genres: Adventure, Thriller, and Suspense
Adrenaline includes adventure, thriller, and suspense, offering readers tightly plotted and quickly paced stories that fuel an immersive, forget-the-world-around-you reading experience. From novels of secret agents on the run to adventurers searching for ancient lost cities to killers stalking their prey, the taut atmospheres these stories generate keeps readers up all night turning pages, uncaring of how bleary-eyed they will be in the morning, so intent are they on finding out what happens next — and to whom.
