## Colleen Hoover Announces New Thriller, “Woman Down,” Set for 2026 Release

**NEW YORK, NY -** Bestselling author Colleen Hoover, known for her emotionally charged novels like “It Ends With Us” and “Verity,” has announced her upcoming thriller, “Woman Down,” scheduled for release on January 13, 2026, via Amazon Publishing. The announcement was made during an exclusive clip on TODAY September 10th, with preorders available immediately.

Hoover described “Woman Down” as one of the darkest books she’s written. The novel centers on Petra Rose, a frustrated author seeking inspiration at a secluded lakeside cabin. A detective’s arrival, bearing disturbing news, reignites her creativity. However, as the investigator becomes increasingly involved in her life, Petra must confront her past and fight to reclaim her tarnished reputation.

Hoover’s immense popularity skyrocketed during the COVID-19 pandemic, fueled by the #BookTok community on TikTok. In 2022, she outsold literary giants such as J.K. Rowling, James Patterson, Stephen King, and John Grisham, selling over 8.6 million print copies. Her last published book was Too Late, in 2023, and was originally posted on Wattpad. She also published It Starts With Us, in 2022.

The new novel promises a suspenseful narrative blending reality and fiction as Petra’s research with Detective Saint blurs the lines, drawing her into a dangerous game. “Woman Down” delves into themes of reputation, inspiration, and the consequences of online backlash.

Hoover expressed her gratitude to her dedicated fans, acknowledging their patience as she worked on this new project. Fans can pre-order “Woman Down” now through Amazon Publishing.
