CONTEMPORARY

• You: A Novel by Caroline Kepnes <— Yep. I know… it’s pricey. But this one has been calling me since I heard about it’s pending release and even more so when Ryn messaged me just to say: “Finished YOU. You need to move it to the top of your TBR because it is soooooo well written. Creepy beyond belief and sucks you in.” I just LOVE this kind of creep-fest. I’m a quarter of the way in, and he’s a total stalker. It’s told from HIS POV (at least as of right now) written in second person but it works PERFECTLY for this… not hard to understand, follow and in fact. It has that “Stolen” feel that I love soooooo much. GAH!!  I’m freaking out, scared… already. There’s no way this is going to turn into some sort of… “love story” is it? “…she’s perfect for him, and soon she can’t resist her feelings for a guy who seems custom made for her. But there’s more to Joe than Beck realizes, and much more to Beck than her oh-so-perfect façade. Their mutual obsession quickly spirals into a whirlwind of deadly consequences . . .” <— I’m IN! 😀

• Keep Me (Twist Me #2) by Anna Zaires <— DARK READ ALERT!! I read #1 and it was good! Here’s my review of Twist Me.
• Locke (Corps Security Book 6) by Harper Sloan <— This one’s the last one in the series, my friends!! And Bobbi loved it: “Locke was amazing! The whole series has really been building to this one and I was worried it was going to be a disappointment. Nope! It was better than I was hoping!!!!” and Georgia is excited, too: “Ooh My God .. just bought LOCKE .. I’ve been patiently waiting ( Not so much ) for his story.
