Never Come Back by David Bell
Never Come Back by David Bell delivered a fascinating story with fleshed out characters that I could not put down.

Hereafter by Kate Brian
After the cliffhanger ending of Shadowlands, I was anxious to step back into Kate Brian’s world with Hereafter. Once again I got swept up with Juniper Landing and its inhabitants. Brain fleshes out the world and characters, as she weaves mystery and suspense into her tale. Three word review: captivating, mysterious and ends in a major cliffy!
I Married the Duke by Katharine Ashe
I love a good historical romance, and when you add in suspense and a little mystery I begin to drool. I Married the Duke is the first in the Prince Catchers series by Katherine Ashe and from the very first pages I was enthralled. Three charming, orphaned sisters, and a prophecy ensures this series will be a delight. Three word review: romantic, suspenseful with delightfully flawed characters.
The Waking Dark by Robin Wasserman
Creep-tastic, yep that is the first word that comes to mind after reading The Waking Dark by Robin Wasserman. This compelling tale set in Oleander, Kansas will send chills down your spine with its blend of science-fiction and horror. If you recently spent the summer watching, “Under the Dome” by Stephen King. this tale offers a similar yet darker tale that will keep you reading and searching for answers. Three word review: Spin-tingling, atmospheric and captivating.
