"Raised by Wolves" by James Patterson

In Raised by Wolves by James Patterson, two children are caught by the law.  They are dressed in rags and their parents are nowhere to be found. Soon it becomes obvious that they were raised by wolves!  I think this could have been better.  The storyline was okay.  (Gerard's review, 3 stars)

In Whistle by Linwood Barclay, Annie has had a rough year.  Her publisher finds her and her son a house in an out-of-the-way place, a small town in upstate New York.  Now Annie can get back to doing what she does best--writing books!  I have read a few books by this author, but this one is by far his best!  It is filled with twists and turns with plenty of action which is why I enjoyed it so much.  I always looked forward to reading it and had to force myself to put it down so it would last longer.  Stephen King said this one was "Terrific" which made me want to read it.  He was right!  (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

"The Inmate" by Freida McFadden, A Wild Read!

The Inmate by Freida McFadden is a quick read because the chapters are short and the whole book is like a puzzle with each chapter being a new piece.  I did not figure this one out at all!  I was way off track on this.  Brooke is a single mom, never married, but in a love triangle.  What was supposed to be a fun sleepover turned into a multi-murder.  Luckily, she got away before getting killed herself; however, the whole incident haunts her ten years later.  This is a good mystery and a thriller as well.  I think this one would be a good book club read since it even has discussion questions in the back.  I was flabbergasted 

by the surprise ending but loved the epilog.  All I can say is WOW after reading this book!  I highly recommend it if you enjoy modern-day thrillers.  (Karen's review, 5 stars)
