Others: Overwhelmingly positive Kacey is the new girl in Broken Falls. When she moved in with her father, she stepped into a brand-new life. A life with a stepbrother, a stepmother, and strangest of all, an adoring younger half sister. Kacey s new life is eerily charming compared with the wild highs and lows of the old one she lived with her volatile mother. And everyone is so nice in Broken Falls she s even been welcomed into a tight new circle of friends. Bailey and Jade invite her to do everything with them. Which is why it s so odd when they start acting distant. And when they don t invite her to the biggest party of the year, it doesn t exactly feel like an accident. But Kacey will never be able to ask, because Bailey never makes it home from that party. Suddenly, Broken Falls doesn t seem so welcoming after all especially once everyone starts looking to the new girl for answers.

Others: Overwhelmingly positiveRome, one evening in May. The streets are full of vehicles and pedestrians. Inside the Ministry of Defense, supervised by the carabinieri, everything appears calm, but during an inspection, the lifeless body of a general is found. Everything suggests that it was an illness, yet the story does not convince Marshal Licata, a great expert in homicides, who begins to investigate. Several twists and turns will impose a halt to the investigations and the skein will only unfold in the last chapter, thanks to Licata's logical shrewdness and investigative intuition. The novel is the first chapter of the series "The investigations of Marshal Licata". It is aimed at a public who loves the Yellow genre, but also to those who wear a uniform and who by reading it, will be able to breathe a "familiar" air.

Others: Positive"Fielding Bliss has never forgotten the summer of 1984: the year a heat wave scorched Breathed, Ohio. The year he became friends with the devil. Sal seems to appear out of nowhere - a bruised and tattered thirteen-year-old boy claiming to be the devil himself answering an invitation. Fielding Bliss, the son of a local prosecutor, brings him home where he's welcomed into the Bliss family, assuming he's a runaway from a nearby farm town. When word spreads that the devil has come to Breathed, not everyone is happy to welcome this self-proclaimed fallen angel. Murmurs follow him and tensions rise, along with the temperatures as an unbearable heat wave rolls into town right along with him. As strange accidents start to occur, riled by the feverish heat, some in the town start to believe that Sal is exactly who he claims to be. While the Bliss family wrestles with their own personal demons, a fanatic drives the town to the brink of a catastrophe that will change this sleepy Ohio backwater forever."--

Loved itWhen I tell you this book had me shook to my core, I MEAN SHOOK. I WAS NOT expecting this book to like mess with me in the way that it did. It's a young adult thriller and I don't know if I would like, while reading it, kind of had skepticism cuz I feel like often times a lot of young adult thrillers can be a little bit on the predictable side... This one I didn't see what was coming.
Loved itwhat an excellent audio but this audiobook was so good that when I got back from like my errands or whatever I was doing I sat with the book open and reading it with audio book on
