There's a type of dreamy, mysterious aura in a CJ Tudor book. It's a great feeling to wrap yourself in like a warm blanket as you read her books.
The Other People, CJ Tudor, 4 Stars
The Look-Alike by Erica Spindler, 3.5 Stars
Sienna returning home is like the return of the prodigal daughter. She was her parent's golden girl, in the time before her childhood fell apart.
The Nanny by Gilly McMillan, 3.5 Stars
In The Nanny, we meet The Holt Family. They are the richest, most important family in a small town, or at least they were in the 1980's.
The Poison Garden by A.J.Banner, 3.5 Stars
A.J. Banner keeps the twists and turns coming from cover to cover.
Mother Knows Best by Kira Peikoff, 4 Stars
I would recommend this read to fans of John Saul (for me it was a bit reminiscent of Creature) or Karen Thompson Walker's The Dreamers: A Novel, which is also a gentle blend of science and fiction.
The Sisters of Summit Avenue by Lynn Cullen, 3.5 Stars
Anyone who grew up with a sister will identify with the sometimes complicated relationship that June and Ruth share.
The Arrangement by Robyn Harding, 3 1/2 Stars
The Arrangement is a great fast-paced read in the style of Fatal Attraction meets Pretty Woman.
Lost You by Haylen Beck, 3.5 Stars
Lost You is a solid thriller with some inventive twists I didn't see coming.
One Little Secret by Cate Holahan, 3.5 Stars
I would recommend to fans of Jessica Strawser and David Bell.
