Pisces season is in full swing from February 19th to March 20th!
I have a special soft spot for this water sign—with their sensitive, gentle spirits it's hard not to. Deeply compassionate and wise, this sign—also known as the sign of the Fish—has an unmatched intuition and an artistic soul.
Unfortunately, all that softness means they tend to become victims or martyrs. Prone to bouts of sadness, Pisces tend to prefer to run away from the reality around them.
Luckily for these little Fish, we've got the perfect mental getaway. Who needs to spiral with emotional overthinking when you can immerse yourself in a puzzling case?
Don't waste another second—here are seven of the best mystery and thriller books for Pisces season!

Abby Cooper: Psychic Eye
Abby Cooper is a P.I.—but probably not the kind you're thinking of. More psychic intuitive than private investigator, she's still happy to take on clients for whatever they may be seeking.
But when her foresight fails her and she doesn't predict the death of one of her clients, she finds herself in the middle of a big mess. It doesn't help that her striking blind date also happens to be the lead investigator on the case.
With the authorities suspicious of her abilities and a murder out and about, Abby's future is looking a bit more uncertain than she's used to…
Pisces are considered the most intuitive sign of the entire zodiac, and will enjoy seeing their special gifts come in clutch in this entertaining mystery.

Here We Lie
From the outside, Megan Mazeros and Lauren Mabrey couldn't be more different. Megan had a modest Midwest upbringing, while Lauren is the daughter of a senator from a prestigious New England family.
But when Megan and Lauren are paired as roommates at their private women's college, the friendship they build is strong, fortified by an exchange of their most precious secrets.
Megan visits Lauren and her family at their private island during the summer before senior year. But what was supposed to be a relaxing getaway soon crumbles into devastation after one unspeakable night.
The girls' friendship is torn apart. And when Megan speaks out years later about what happened that awful night, long-buried secrets threaten to rise to the surface.
As a water sign, Pisces are extremely compassionate, empathetic, and moody. An emotional mystery is perfect for them!

White Ivy
Looks can be deceiving. After all, you'd never know, just by looking at her, that Ivy Lin is a thief and a liar.
Ivy grew up just outside of Boston, where her immigrant grandmother taught her to use her mild appearance to her advantage as she stole from yard sales and thrift stores. Thanks to her sticky fingers, Ivy has all the trappings of a normal suburban teen.
Her special talent has also earned her the attention of Gideon Speyer, the favorite son of a rich political family.
But when Ivy's mother learns what she's been doing, she quickly stops her. Ivy is then sent to China, where all of her dreams wither.
Years pass, and Ivy has become a poised yet restless young woman, weighed down by her mixed feelings about her family.
Back in Boston, Ivy runs into Sylvia Speyer, Gideon's sister. She can't help but feel like it's fate—a natural first step to an inevitable reunion with her first crush.
Slowly but surely, Ivy insinuates herself not only in Gideon's life, but within the entire Speyer clan. But when everything she's ever wanted inches just within reach, a ghost from her past threatens to ruin everything she's worked so hard for.
A Pisces' worst nightmare is their past coming back to haunt them, so this tense thriller will have them sweating and teetering on the edge of their seat.

Deep Cover
FBI agent Shaine Kelly thinks he's prepared for anything and he sets out to take down Miami's biggest drug lord. But then Poppy Jones joins his team.
The beautiful DEA agent was once the love of his life. But when he tried to protect her, he ended up losing her for good.
Poppy is determined to prove herself in the field, even if that means working with the man she never truly got over. But as an old desire kindles between these two ex-lovers, it may be her turn to protect Shaine—or else she'll be the one with a broken heart.
Known for their big, soft hearts, there's not a Pisces in the world that can resist a little bit of romance. The sign of the Fish will be head over tail for this romantic mystery!

Mr. Perfect
Since romance has such a special place in the hearts of Pisces, we'd be remiss not to include another sensual addition to this list.
Jaine Bright is having dinner with three of her best girlfriends at their favorite restaurant. Things take an especially delicious turn when they start to discuss what would make the perfect man.
Is he the cliche of tall, dark, and handsome? Do they really want sweet and considerate, or are muscles enough?
While they begin with the basics—faithful, reliable, and responsible, with a good sense of humor—they create a list that quickly turns cheeky and racy.
Before they know it, this funny little list spreads like wildfire through their company, and soon grabs the attention of local newspaper and television coverage.
Their little joke between friends has become an overnight sensation. But no one is laughing when one of the four women is murdered.
The victim's boyfriend is the number one suspect in the murder, as he was just one of the men who found the List offensive. However, his airtight alibi takes him out of consideration.
Now a deadly stalker has their sights set on the remaining three women. With the help of Jaine's neighbor, an erratic police detective, they must find a way to put an end to this perfect nightmare.

A Dangerous Talent
On the surface, Alix London has it all: a wonderful career as an art consultant, a great condo in Seattle, the perfect body, and an air of old money, Ivy League breeding.
Unfortunately, the perfect image she presents to the rest of the world is just an illusion. Behind it all, she's just a once-promising art student whose future fell to ruin when her father went to prison for art forgery.
The truth is, she's a Harvard dropout with exhausted funds. As far as her career goes, she's lucky to score a house-sitting gig.
But things start to turn around when Alix meets novice art collector Christine Lemay. Lemay's got an excess of cash and a juicy tip on a newly discovered painting by Georgia O'Keefe—and she wants Alic to perform the authentication.
This could be the break she needs to finally claw her way into the big leagues. But when she arrives in Santa Fe, she finds herself waist-deep in a web of forgery, deceit, and worst of all, murder.
Nervous of becoming the next victim, Alix joins forces with FBI Special Agent Ted Ellesworth. Some help from her father goes a long way in tracking down the truth, too…
Art speaks to the sensitive soul of a Pisces, so what better to fill their TBR than an art murder mystery?

Angels & Demons
Pisces value spirituality, in whatever form speaks true to them. For these Fish that are always looking at the bigger, deeper picture, a spiritually infused complex puzzle-like Dan Brown's Robert Langdon thriller may just be the perfect read.
Robert Langdon, a globally respected Harvard symbologist, has been called to a Swiss research facility to inspect a strange symbol. And this mysterious mark has been seared into the chest of a murdered physicist.
Upon investigation, Langdon makes a chilling discovery: evidence of the return of an ancient secret brotherhood called the Illuminati. This powerful underground organization has resurfaced to execute the final step of its legendary vendetta against the Catholic Church.
On the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, an Illuminati messenger announces that an unstoppable time bomb has been hidden at the heart of Vatican City. Time is quickly ticking down as Langdon rushes to Rome to team up with the beautiful Italian Scientist Vittoria Vetra to try and save the day.
A trail of 400-year-old clues takes the duo on a desperate search through crypts, catacombs, and cathedrals, connecting ancient symbols to bring salvation to the Vatican.
