The Sky At Night

Samantha Lovelock

Ty McInnis has women falling at his feet. I want to bring him to his knees. 
 
 
 
I survived my waking nightmare by terrorizing others. The only way to keep my secret was to make sure I was hated. Feared. Alone. And it worked—until my mother shipped me off to The Overlook. And then he showed up. 
 
 
 
Heroin Heartbreak is the hottest band around and Ty is the reason why. His blistering blend of sexiness, bad-boy charm, and killer voice makes him the perfect front man. But his adoring fans don't realize that it also makes him an arrogant, annoying, unapologetic ass. And he's determined to make my stay here hell. 
 
 
 
Hali Torsten is a brat with a chip on her shoulder. I want to knock it off. 
 
 
 
I wasn't there when my father took his last breath. The only way to drown my guilt and grief was at the bottom of a bottle. Devastated. Broken. And it worked—until I went back to The Overlook. And then she showed up. 
 
 
 
Hali's intoxicating blend of sensuality, snark, and secret vulnerability makes her the perfect target. But away from all the noise and lights, something in me recognizes that it also makes her truthful, tantalizing, and untamed. And she's everything I didn't know I wanted.

Since She's Been Gone

Sagit Schwartz

A clinical psychologist is thrown into her dark past as she races to uncover the truth about her mother's death while struggling with her own mental health. 
 
 
 
Can we ever truly know the people we love? 
 
 
 
Losing her mother to a hit-and-run at age fifteen threw Beatrice "Beans" Bennett's life into turmoil. Bereft, she developed a life-threatening eating disorder, and went through a challenging recovery process which paved the way for her work as a clinical psychologist decades later. 
 
 
 
When a new patient arrives at her office and insists that Beans's mother is still alive—and in danger—Beans is forced to revisit her past in order to uncover the truth. She learns the "patient" is a member of a notorious family that owns a drug company largely responsible for the national opioid epidemic, and that her mother was once tangled in their web. In a race against time—and her mother's assailants—while once again facing the disorder she thought she'd put behind her, Beans discovers that, like herself, her mother had a devastating secret. 
 
 
 
With its fast-moving, edge-of-your-seat action and intimate look at mental health, Since She's Been Gone will keep listeners in its grasp long after the final chapter.
