Author Denise Ann Stock has received the Literary Titan Book Award for her novel Summer Fallout, the fifth installment in her acclaimed Summer series. The award recognizes the book’s emotionally resonant storytelling and its gripping portrayal of a family pushed to the edge by an act of shocking violence.
Summer Fallout centers on Christian Connor, the son of renowned heart surgeon Ian Connor, whose life is shattered when Christian is shot and left for dead on his own front porch. As Christian fights to survive, the Connor family scrambles for answers while facing a terrifying reality: a mafia family may be at the center of the crimes against them. Christian’s sister, Taylor, wrestles with her own guilt as she pursues a professional surfing league tryout while trying to remain present for her brother and her family’s unraveling sense of safety. Despite law enforcement’s efforts to protect the Connors, the investigation leads to a revelation that is both unexpected and devastating, one that shakes the family to its core and threatens a long-time friendship beyond repair.
In its review, Literary Titan praised Summer Fallout as “a contemporary crime drama and family-centered thriller” that emphasizes the aftermath of trauma as much as the crime itself. The review highlights Stock’s ability to balance “moments of coastal calm and sudden brutality,” creating a story that lingers in hospital waiting rooms, quiet kitchens, and the difficult stretch of time when life is supposed to return to normal but cannot. Literary Titan also notes the novel’s reflective pacing and emotional authenticity, calling it a standout for readers who value crime fiction with a strong human core.
With Summer Fallout, Stock delivers a suspenseful, character-driven narrative about resilience, fear beneath the surface of everyday life, and the long shadow violence can cast over a family and a community.
Summer Fallout by Denise Ann Stock is available now. Readers can purchase the book on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, in their preferred format, and join the Summer series as it reaches one of its most intense and emotionally charged chapters yet.
