Still Missing by Chevy Stevens On the day she was abducted, Annie O’Sullivan, a 32-year-old realtor, had three goals—sell a house, forget about a recent argument with her mother, and be on time for dinner with her ever-patient boyfriend. The open house is slow, but when her last visitor pulls up in a van as she's about to leave, Annie thinks it just might be her lucky day after all.  Still Missing  interweaves the year Annie spent as the captive of a psychopath in a remote mountain cabin, which unfold through sessions with her psychiatrist, with a second narrative following the events after her escape—her struggle to piece her shattered life back together and the ongoing police investigation into the identity of her captor. Still Missing  is a shocking, visceral, brutal and beautifully crafted novel. Audience: Adult (17+) Review:  Chevy Stevens doesn't disappoint. The first novel I read by her was Never Knowing and it was Amazing so intense. I finally pick...

The Cabin by Natasha Preston They think they’re invincible. They think they can do and say whatever they want. They think there are no consequences. They’ve left me no choice. It’s time for them to pay for their sins. A weekend partying at a remote cabin is just what Mackenzie needs. She can’t wait to let loose with her friends. But a crazy night of fun leaves two of them dead—murdered. With no signs of a forced entry or struggle, suspicion turns to the five survivors. Someone isn’t telling the truth. And Mackenzie’s first mistake? Assuming the killing is over… Audience: 13+ Review: I really loved The Cellar by Natasha Preston, which is what made me want to read ALL of her books. I get obsessed once I love an author, and it makes me want to read everything they've written. Plus The Cabin looked right up my alley! Murder, mystery, remote cabin = yes!  I was a bit disappointed with the story line when I got into it. The remote cabin is part of the story, but it's a sm...

But unexpectedly, it is Gwyneth, who in the middle of class takes a sudden spin to a different era! Gwyneth must now unearth the mystery of why her mother would lie about her birth date to ward off suspicion about her ability, brush up on her history, and work with Gideon--the time traveler from a similarly gifted family that passes the gene through its male line, and whose presence becomes, in time, less insufferable and more essential.
