Thanks to Netgalley and St.Martin's Press for a copy of the eARC in exchange for a fair review. Is there a moment, just one moment that changes everything for you? Unravels it all, and sends your life out of control? Joe knows that moment, one night while driving home with his son, and his son says Mummy's car so Joe takes a look, then another one when he realizes it isn't car just like hers it is her car. So he makes a split second decision to follow her into the carpark to talk to her, but when they get into the lobby of the hotel he sees that she is having a heated discussion with Ben, and he knows that he doesn't want his son to see this so he heads back to the garage to wait for her. She leaves without even seeing him. Joe ends up in a heated discussion with Ben that ends with Ben hitting him and him pushing Ben back. Ben falls and appears to be unconscious, but before Joe can figure out what to do his son has an severe asthma attack and when he fails to fin

Thank you to Netgalley and DAW for a copy of the eARC in exchange for a fair review. Disclaimer: This is the 12th book in the series. I highly suggest starting with Rosemary and Rue and read all previous books. This will contain spoilers if you haven't read the rest of the series. October is back, and she is still reeling from her lasting meeting with her mother. The meeting in which her mother forced Tybalt and Jazz into their animal forms and kept them that. Tybalt hasn't been the same and neither has Jazz. In fact October hasn't seen much of Tybalt lately, but she is for a bigger shock when her doorbell rings and her ex and his current wife are waiting at her front door. They accuse of her of stealing Gillian, and then when they realize she doesn't have her they ask her to find Gillian. So October wakes up Quinton and May and they head out to find Gillian. But the road is long and filled with traps and old enemies. Will October be able to save her daughter th

Thank you to Page Street Publishing for a copy of the ARC in exchange for a fair review. Annabeth has been struggling since her mother died, and she really isn't looking forward to attending another funeral especially not the parents of Griffin. They used to be really close before her mother passed away. Lately Annabeth wonders what exactly is going on, because all of the members of the Magellan club have died except for Uncle Richard. When the police barge in shortly after the funeral and Annabeth finds an antique map with a crpytic message written on the back she knows that she needs to find out what is going on. Especially when her father disappears. Soon Annabeth is caught in an age old mystery and she is running out of time to figure it all out and to find her father. Can she find him?

Thanks to Netgalley and Avon for a copy of the book in exchange for a fair review. Someone is killing people from a school with dark secrets. First, Jeffrey Stone is murdered, then Kevin, and the police don't realized that they are tied together until the fourth one is murdered. Adrian and his part Imogen are racing against time to figure out what is connecting the victims and who the murderer could be. Adrian has a lot riding on this as his son attends the school that links all of the victims so far, and he wonders if his son might end up in danger. Meanwhile, Abbey has finally found a good man, which she deserves after her horrible time at the university. Can Adrian unravel it all? Or will he find that these crimes are punishments well deserved? I know this is so vague even for me, but it was told from several points of views and present and flashbacks with Abbey so it made a little confusing. Especially since it didn't become clear until near the end what Abbey had
