Was excited until all the recs became cozy thrillers...
As soon as it comes out in paperback, I plan to get that WINTER COUNTS book by David Heska Wanbli Weiden.
I want all of them, they loook so damn interesting.
Junction: times ticking by LA Evans is a piercing and riveting suspense thriller, with more twists and turns then a drunken Rollercoaster. The many cliffhangers keep you engaged and is perfectly penned. Just when you think you have figured something out, this story takes you into a different direction.
When her older sister is taken by force before her eyes, 14 year old Carrie is forced to hide what she saw. Now, one year later and nearly suicidal from keeping this secret, she enters a mental hospital where the abductor happens to work.Kirkus Reviews called the mystery "surprising" and "compelling."
