Mr. Coben really knows how to write a fast paced, amazing thriller!

What if a stranger came up to you and spilled a secret you have or a loved one has? Would you write them off as crazy or would you go to find out the truth?

Adam finds out a secret of his wife, Corrine's. What he stumbles onto is bigger than he would have thought possible.

The action never seems to stop. We see more people with secrets revealed that have as much to lose as Adam.... Maybe more.

I really enjoyed this wild ride of a dystopian novel. The girls in the county are said to possess magic and they have to go on A Grace Year to find it and get rid of it before coming home to marry (if they were selected at the veiling ceremony) or work.
The girls never can seem to get through this year each time without dire consequences. They do the most despicable things to themselves and others.
Tierney has the guts and courage through the Grace Year that I wish more of the girls had! Even when cast out, she takes pretty good care of herself.
There were some very shocking moments to me near the end and it also made me wonder if there could every be a sequel. I'd like to see a big change if there was.

Just as good as the first. Meena is starting her witch training and she's proving to be a force. She is selfless and wants to help others. She's a bit of a rule breaker but I don't blame her. There is something going on in this school and I just know Meena is going to solve it.

Wow! This book was so good!
What would you do if your mom was murdered and you thought it might have been you, but you were struck by lightning soon after and lost some memories?
Yeah, that's what happens to Eva. That's not the only thing. Her whole life is not what it seems. She goes to London to find answers but the answers at home in Seattle are just as crazy.
I had no reason to like Liam, Eva's fiancee, through the whole book. I had an inkling of why but I turned out to be totally wrong! But the truth gave me still very valid reasons to dislike him.
This was a great thriller to get lost in!

2.5
This was a paranormal romance thriller. I did not enjoy the "50 shades of gray" between Ava and Captain Brody. I can't help but wonder if it was all in her head, in her drunken stupor that she ever "saw" him.
What intruiged me was the mystery of all these woman who have lived in the house and had died-mysterious or otherwise.

I want to thank Bibliofinder and Sourcefire books for the free book and the opportunity to review.

Bullying and hate can spread like wildfire. Especially in this day of social media and Photoshop.
Anna made a mistake at her old school but it was spread by some she thought she trusted. The past somehow followers her to her new school. But with the help of a history project, on a woman named Maggie accused of witchcraft in the 1600s, Anna might find the strength and courage to face it down.
I felt bad for her small mistake that wasn't for anyone to know. I felt bad that she didn't have friends to help her stand up against the bullies until near the end. This book will defintely make you think about how you might judge others.

I really liked that this book talked about hard issues, but in a way that was bittersweet. It also made you think of your own life and choices you might have to make one day.

Family is everything but what if something you did had a direct result in the death is a family member? What if the one place you vowed to not return to called you back because of family?

Cam comes back from war to a town he never wanted to step foot in again. All because of a phone call from his dad, currently suffering from early onset Alzheimer's. His dad has a plan for how how his life should end and the one brother who stuck around won't give him.

Cam also has to come back and face Willow, a girl he's always loved but who almost married his brother Sullivan-the brother who died in Afghanistan.

Cam made a lot of bad choices as a youth and the whole town feels such contempt for him. Except Willow. She knows the truth and who's to blame. It all comes out at the end and its intense.

This was an amazing book that made me laugh and cry.

This was a fast read but oh so fun!
Meena finds out she's a witch and gets magically transported to a college for magical people. She doesn't have the greatest start but she quickly finds out how powerful she is!
She also stumbles onto something nefarious going on on the campus and I can't wait to read the next installment to see where the story goes!

Thanks for the free e-copy @readforeverpub and @netgalley .

I really love books set in small towns. This one that focuses on friendship was a fresh change of pace too. There is a bit of romance but glad it focused more on the friendship.

Renee is an empty nester as her only daughter is in college. She loves to bake and is very friendly and helpful to all she meets. She also has a crush on her boss Dan- the hot, single pediatrician.

Sadie is mom to a 2 year old and has found out she's pregnant once again. She's feeling very stuck and her husband hasn't been the best help and it's feeling like he's slipping away.

Renee and Sadie start to really bond after Renee helps Sadie with a baking gone wrong.
They will help each other through the difficulties each is experiencing. They decide to help each other and go into business together-a pie shop.

Very enjoyable book and I'm so glad I had the chance to read it.

I don't know how best to review short stories. I enjoyed this read. Some of them are so short, I don't exactly know what I was supposed to get out of it. But as you get in further, you get to see some of the stories connect and come from a different perspective. Or even the same person relaying the story in a different way.
All are from the viewpoint of women and show their inner most thoughts and feelings that aren't always expressed.
