Thank you to William Morrow Books and Goodreads. I won a copy of Kindle book in a goodreads giveaway. Jonah comes home from work one day and his wife and daughter aren't home. He really doesn't think too much of it at first, but after several hours he knows that something is wrong. He calls his friend Maurice, who happens to be the sheriff. But Jonah lies about a couple of things like where he slept last night and the fight Rebecca and Jonah had.

The Disappearing by Lori Roy Thank you to Netgalley and Dutton Books for a copy of the eARC in exchange for a fair review.  Lane is back in her home town of Waddell, and her father is under fire for his role in the boys' school that he ran. But what is even more worrisome is that Susannah has disappeared and no one seems to know what happened to her. They all wonder if has to do with what happened when Lane disappeared as a child. However, when Annalee disappears one night, Lane becomes frantic to find her daughter and little does she know the truth about what happened to her, the boys' school and her father are all wrapped up together. Lane joins the search with her old boyfriend Mark. Soon they uncover that Annalee was still seeing Jimmie, and that perhaps Talley (Lane's youngest daughter might know more than the rest of them).

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for a copy of the eARC in exchange for a fair review. Lizzy thinks life is grand other than the fact that she hasn't spoken to her sister in a number of years. Ever since Emma made a pass at him. Until one day she finds a letter inside her house addressed to her and it simple says I am obsessed with you. Lizzy finds it creepy, but she isn't too worried until she finds another a few days later at her job. She knows then that someone is stalking her. She calls the police to tell them about the letters, but there really isn't too much she can do. As things begin to happen Lizzy finds herself feeling more and more paranoid and worried about who is following her around. I would say so much more, but the twists in this book keep coming all the way until the end. I will say that I had figured out part of it so I wasn't too shocked by the reveal. But that epilogue had me reeling. I was stunned. I really liked Lizzy, I did think she

Thank you to Netgalley and Dutton for a copy of the eARC in exchange for a fair review. Emma can only pain the girls. All three of them, and she always covers them up but they are there on every painting she has made. Fifteen years ago, Emma's roommates at camp walked out of the cabin and were never seen again. Now Emma is a successful painter who is still haunted by that day. When Franny approaches her with a position at the camp for the summer, Emma initially doesn't want to do it, but she soon realizes that maybe she can actually find out what happened to Allison, Natalie, and Vivian all those years ago. She has so many things to make amends for. When she arrives at camp, she picks out her old cabin and immediately searches Viv's hiding spot and finds a map and a picture. Then she meets the girls that she is going to be sharing the cabin with and does her best to make friends with them. As the days progress, Emma slowly begins to unravel what happened fifteen y
