In Right Behind Her by Melinda Leigh, Sheriff Bree Taggert is looking for closure. It has been years since her parents were killed, but her dad is the main suspect in this murder-suicide. This is an investigation of a cold case and Bree searches for the truth in this cold case. Did her dad really do it? This book was just okay. It needed more action throughout, not just at the end which made for a good ending. (Gerard's review, 4 stars)

"The Starter Wife" by Nina Laurin
In The Starter Wife by Nina Laurin, Claire marries a man 20 years older. People say it is a mistake, but Claire is in love and life is good! Later though, she and her husband are not on the same page anymore. Claire will have to fight to save her marriage and find out if she knows what her husband is up to. This novel starts out slow, but when it picks up it makes up for it and then some. There are plenty twists and turns. Put your thinking cap on for this one and do not believe everything you think you know! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

"For Your Own Good" by Samantha Downing is Really Good (if you like Creepy, Twisted Characters)!
For Your Own Good by Samantha Downing is about deaths of two headmasters, three teachers, and a parent of a student at a private high school. Mr. Crutcher, the teacher of the year, teaches English but is a creep as well as the main character! This is not a very happy book, but rather quite sinister. I must say, I flew through it because the story line was so compelling. The reader knows from the start that Mr. Crutcher is behind the murders but I had to keep reading to find out if he gets found out. This was quite the story with the twist of much of it being written from the murder's view. (Karen's review, 4 stars)

"Cross Her Heart" by Sarah Pinborough
In Cross Her Heart by Sarah Pinborough, Lisa lives for her daughter, her job and her friend, Marilyn. However, Lisa can only keep her past hidden for so long. When it comes out, her life as she knows it is over. This book goes back and forth in time and a lot of the characters are unlikeable to say the least. In spite of all that, I still enjoyed the book due to the story line and the unexpected twists. I never knew what was coming next and loved the surprise ending! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)
