What Happened to the McCrays? by Tracey Lange

 

 I loved this moving, heartbreaking and beautiful book! The story alternated between past and present which gave the reader a clearer understanding of the dynamic between the main characters. It was nice to see how the characters changed between the start of the story and the end. The characters were so compelling that it was easy to care about them. This is one read that's impossible to put down.


This Is Where We Die by Cindy R.X. He

The author excelled at creating complex characters and delving into their psyches. I loved all of the twists and the ending! This book was a real page-turner.

Homecoming: Staycation #3 by RJ Clark

 

 Reading this book was like being in a runaway mine car in a cavern full of twists, turns, and darkness. You don't know where you'll end up but hope you'll remain unscathed. There weren't any dull moments in this story. I loved the many different settings. The ending was outstanding! I can't say enough good things about it.

The Bachelorette Party by Camilla Sten

 

 I loved this intricately plotted and highly suspenseful read. The isolated setting heavily contributed to a sense of foreboding throughout the entire story. I loved that there were so many unexpected twists both in the past and the present because it made the story even more exciting.

Soul Machine by Jordana Globerman

 book cover for Soul Machine

 I enjoyed this graphic novel but I sometimes felt bogged down by the exploration of so many deep topics such as the nature of human connection, what constitutes a soul, and the search for identity. I wanted to enjoy the story at face value. I loved the artwork, the sisterly bond between Lacey and Chloe, and the twists.
