Good Girl

Title: Good Girl
Author:Lauren Layne
Publisher: Loveswept
ISBN: 9780399593994

Why Read?: Fresh Fiction

Thoughts: Would have given a higher rating if it was a clean romance, which it really could have been.

Rating: 3/5

Running with the Wolves

Title: Running with the Wolves
Author: J.E. Reed
Publisher: Indigo
ISBN: 9781947727311

Why Read?: Early Review

Thoughts: Leaves a lot unanswered, but I am assuming it will have a sequel based on where (physically, not emotionally) it left off.  Since that is probably the case, I would have even broke this in two and there are two very distinct halves to the story.

Rating: 3/5

Us Against You

Title: Us Against You
Author: Fredrik Backman
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
ISBN: n/a

Why Read?: For Fun

Thoughts: Way too many characters, and some that occur often do not even get names.  This made it hard to really connect with any.

Rating: 3/5

Motion for Madness

Title: Motion for Madness
Author: Kelly Rey
Publisher: Gemma Halliday
ISBN: 9781943587339

Rating: 3/5

The Disappearing

Title: The Disappearing
Author: Lori Roy
Publisher: Dutton
ISBN: 9781524741938

Why Read?: For Fun

The Last Time I Lied

Title: The Last Time I Lied
Author: Riley Sager
Publisher: Penguin Audio
ISBN: n/a

Why Read?: For Fun

Thoughts: I enjoyed Final Girls, but Sager's sophomore effort is even better.  Kind of creepy, definitely mysterious, and full of suspence.

Rating: 5/5

Puddin'

Title: Puddin'
Author: Julie Murphy
Publisher: Balzer + Bray
ISBN: 9780062418388

Why Read?: For Fun

Thoughts: I liked that this had a main character who was a mean girl, and a lot of the times acted like it.  Of course, she grows during the story and redeems herself, but it was refreshing.

Rating: 4/5
