  She's the perfect suburban mom. Loving wife. Devoted mother. 
  She's also a killer who's been hunting for over a century. 
  Trish has mastered the art of the double life. PTA meetings and playdates by day. Stalking prey by night. Her husband, Randel, has no idea that his wife's "yoga nights" end in bloodless corpses. Her baby son, Darwin, sleeps peacefully, unaware that Mommy's bedtime stories could fill a morgue. 
  But when her latest hunt at Miller University goes catastrophically wrong, leaving a witness alive, Trish's carefully constructed world begins to crumble. 
  Now she's being hunted by people who know exactly what she is. As her enemies close in, Trish faces an impossible choice: 
  Protect the lie... or protect her family. 
  Because some secrets are worth killing for. And some monsters will do anything for the ones they love. 
  "Couldn't put it down." ★★★★★

  The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

  The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. It was first published on 14 October 1892; the individual stories had been serialised in The Strand Magazine between July 1891 and June 1892. The stories are not in chronological order, and the only characters common to all twelve are Holmes and Dr. Watson. The stories are related in first-person narrative from Watson's point of view.
  In general the stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes identify, and try to correct, social injustices. Holmes is portrayed as offering a new, fairer sense of justice. The stories were well received, and boosted the subscriptions figures of The Strand Magazine, prompting Doyle to be able to demand more money for his next set of stories. The first story, "A Scandal in Bohemia", includes the character of Irene Adler, who, despite being featured only within this one story by Doyle, is a prominent character in modern Sherlock Holmes adaptations, generally as a love interest for Holmes. Doyle included four of the twelve stories from this collection in his twelve favourite Sherlock Holmes stories, picking "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" as his overall favourite.
  
  Content: I. A Scandal in Bohemia / II. The Red-Headed League / III. A Case of Identity / IV. The Boscombe Valley Mystery / V. The Five Orange Pips / VI. The Man with the Twisted Lip / VII. The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle / VIII. The Adventure of the Speckled Band / IX. The Adventure of the Engineer’s Thumb / X. The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor / XI. The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet / XII. The Adventure of the Copper Beeches

  She stepped out to a strange people in a strange darkness…and she saw a stranger in her husband. 
  Charlie Kensal grieves the loss of both parents at her brother’s farm near Valley City, North Dakota. She’s always listened to her well-meaning if not rather authoritarian brother, even when it came to marrying Richard. 
  Then the world is upturned when darkness falls five minutes past two—in the afternoon. Even more shocking, Charlie escapes the isolated farm during a riot with rugged cattle rancher, Nick Miller. 
  The cause of the darkness is unknown. Temperatures plummet outside even as heat turns up between Charlie and Nick. When Charlie finds Richard at the National Guard Armory with other survivors, she leaves with her husband. But something is wrong with Richard. Soon, Charlie regrets leaving Nick to the darkness. 
  And darkness is just the beginning.

  One simple, little auction. What could happen, right? 
  Darcy’s got an invitation to join Ethan at an auction. No, this isn’t the date he supposedly asked her out for a while ago. This is a favor for his cousin who’s some well-known New York Times bestseller. Why not, since said author agreed to do a book signing at Darcy’s bookstore, and that’s bound to bring in more business. Not to mention that’s going to satisfy Becca’s crush on said author. 
  What could go wrong at an auction for an old desk? Nothing, but what happens after the auction raises eyebrows. His home’s broken into and the desk’s been vandalized. And speaking of raised eyebrows, imagine Pete’s when he walks in late at night to process the crime scene and finds Darcy there. 
  And to think after Darcy’s last adventure with the wealthy sector of Cape Hope, she’d be done with attempts on her life. No such luck. And to compound matters, it seems that Ethan’s life’s at stake as well.
