The Grownup

Super quick, super weird, and super fun. I read this lil' baby book over my lunch break and i thoroughly enjoyed it. Upgraded from giving hand jobs in the back of the psychic/tarot reading/palmistry shop our protagonist becomes an aura interpreter making up stuff about people's "auras." It may not be glamorous but it pays the bills and it's saving her from the carpel tunnel setting in from years of handies. One day a smart, wealthy woman comes in with a real dilemma. The house is haunted, her stepson is acting weird and please oh please would she come look at it and see if she can fix the houses' aura?  The story takes some unexpected turns and leaves the reader wondering, where does the evil really lie? A fun read.

Dark Places

Ahh! Soo suspenseful and thrilling! Little Libby was only seven years old when her mother and two sisters brutally murdered. The media ate up the "Satan sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas" and Libby heroically testified that her fifteen year old brother Ben, had been the one to slaughter her family. Twenty-Five years later Libby is having some regrets. In desperate need of money she starts selling some family items to members of a kill club (weirdo obsessed with mass murderers, bloody memorabilia and unsolved crimes) and in the process discovers that the kill club weirdos think her brother is innocent. The more she is forced to remember the past, the more certain she is that something isn't right. She sets off to do a little detective work on her own and find out what really happened that night.

Riveting and thrilling this is a great page turner. As good, if not better, than Gone Girl.

Gone Girl

HOLY. SHIT. This book is freaking mind blowing! Just when you start to think you have the whole story down pat, it switches gears and you have no idea what to expect. It's nearly impossible to describe this story without giving anything away, but trust me, you want to read this!!!!!! Gillian Flynn is a master at messing with your mind (in the best way possible) and this story of a husband and wife is so messed up and tantalizing that it is impossible to put down. Definitely one of the most thrilling and mind blowing books I've read this year :D
