Book Club Questions – At the Quiet Edge

February 6, 2023 by Victoria

The cover for At the Quiet Edge by Victoria Helen Stone. A cloudy night sky is lit from below by a solitary streetlight. A car drives away from us down a lonely highway, the brake lights are lit up in red.

Hi all! I got a request for some book club questions for At the Quiet Edge, so I’ve brainstormed a few for you here! Careful, there is one spoiler in the questions, so I’ve marked it with a warning. Happy reading!

  1. How did the setting of At the Quiet Edge —a self-storage facility at the edge of town— influence your response to the story? How did it contribute to the plot in ways other settings might not have?
  2. Did the small town of Herriman feel different from other small town book settings? How did it compare with your own experience of small towns? Are there reasons for any differences?
  3. Was Lily’s withholding of information from Everett right or wrong?
  4. Were your reactions different when experiencing fear and danger through Everett’s eyes than they were through Lily’s point of view?
  5. How did Lily change by the end of the book?
  6. [SPOILER]…….. Did you-know-who redeem himself? Do you think his new relationship with Everett will be beneficial?
  7. Which character did you most identify with?

Cover Reveal! THE HOOK!

January 20, 2023 by Victoria

Victoria Helen Stone, smiling and looking sideways at a book covered by white paper that reads "The Hook 5/23." The corner of the paper is folded down to reveal a scarlet red.

My latest dark suspense, The Hook, hits shelves on May 23, 2023. Just last week, I saw the cover for the first time, and when I tell you I screamed with delight, I really SCREAMED WITH DELIGHT! A scarlet red cover? Yes please.

Are you ready for the deets? Or do you want to pre-order right now?!? Or do you just want to see this gorgeous artwork?

Scarlet red covers the entire cover of the book, and bold letters are cut out to reveal the image beneath. The letters read "The Hook a novel, Victoria Helen Stone bestselling author of Jane Doe and False Step." The image beneath is a close-up of white woman with scarlet lipstick leaning close to a white man's ear, as if she means to whisper."

Three betrayed women with revenge in common channel their fury in a twisting novel of psychological suspense by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of Jane Doe and False Step.

A women’s boxing class is the perfect place for betrayed wife Katherine to work out her aggressions. Ideal, too, for Geneva, a teacher disgraced and ruined by a vengeful ex, and Luz, a software engineer battling an unjust system. Maggie, their instructor and mentor, guarantees she can right the wrongs they’ve endured. And if Katherine, Geneva, and Luz really want to unleash their rage, they must do what Maggie says.

Each woman’s secret task has its risks. Call it justice. Call it revenge. It’s bound to be worth it—if no missteps are made. As they take the leap to reclaim what they’re owed, their lives are turned upside down. Because no one could have guessed that it would all end in murder.

Now, coming together to harness their power, Katherine, Geneva, and Luz fear that the game they’ve been playing is playing them.

Order now and The Hook will be in your home, ready to read on May 23!
