You Know What You Have To Do by Bonnie Shimko Genre: YA Thriller Publication Date: 5 March 2013 ARC Provided by Netgalley and Amazon Children’s Publishing Synopsis from Goodreads: This quirky, appealing YA novel turns formulaic teen fiction on its head as funny, feisty fifteen year-old Mary-Magdalene Feigenbaum (otherwise known as Maggie) suddenly faces more than the usual typical YA concerns: a voice in her head that is telling her to kill people.

Genre Book Showdown: The Boyfriend vs The Gray Ghost Murders

I recently read two ARCs (advance reader copies) from the crime/mystery genre.  The Boyfriend by Thomas Perry followed the investigation of a serial killer targeting female escorts that all happened to fit the same physical profile.  The Gray Ghost Murders by Keith McCafferty featured the discovery of human remains in a remote Montana location and the resulting investigation.  Both of these books were good reads, but read on to see which novel wins this crime-filled showdown!   The Boyfriend by Thomas Perry Publication Date: 5 March 2013 ARC Provided by Netgalley and Mysterious Press Synopsis from Goodreads: Jack Till, who has retired from [ Read More of this Review ]

The Burning Air by Erin Kelly *early review copy provided by publisher and netgalley* Regina’s Rating: 3.5 stars/Grade B Blurb: Of course it was love for my children, love for my son, that caused me to act as I did.

Lydia, the matriarch, is dead; Sophie, [ Read More of this Review ]
