Thicker Than Water by Brigid Kemmerer

Author: Brigid Kemmerer Publ ication: December 29, 2015 By : Kensington Books Amazon | B& N | Goodrea ds     4.5 Stars!  On his own Thomas Bellweather hasn’t been in town long. Just long enough for his newlywed mother to be murdered, and for his new stepdad’s cop colleagues to decide Thomas is the primary suspect. Not that there’s any evidence. But before Thomas got to Garretts Mill there had just been one other murder in twenty years. The only person who believes him is Charlotte Rooker, little sister to three cops and, with her soft hands and sweet curves, straight-up dangerous to Thomas. Her best friend was the other murder vic. And she’d like a couple answers. Answers that could get them both killed, and reveal a truth Thomas would die to keep hidden… *Thank you to Kaye Publicity and Kensington for providing a copy for review* My initial reaction upon finishing: HOLY CRAP THAT WAS GOOD! I LOVE this cover. Action, suspense, romance, and ...

Don't Look Back by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout Publication: April 15th, 2014 By: Disney Hyperion  Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads 5 STARS! Samantha is a stranger in her own life. Until the night she disappeared with her best friend, Cassie, everyone said Sam had it all-popularity, wealth, and a dream boyfriend. Sam has resurfaced, but she has no recollection of who she was or what happened to her that night. As she tries to piece together her life from before, she realizes it’s one she no longer wants any part of. The old Sam took “mean girl” to a whole new level, and it’s clear she and Cassie were more like best enemies. Sam is pretty sure that losing her memories is like winning the lottery. She’s getting a second chance at being a better daughter, sister, and friend, and she’s falling hard for Carson Ortiz, a boy who has always looked out for her-even if the old Sam treated him like trash. But Cassie is still missing, and the facts ...
