The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden
Sydney Shaw is a single woman in her 30s who is hoping to find love while she’s still able to have kids.

There is more to this Mystery Man than what meets the eye, though, and Sydney had better figure out the missing pieces to the puzzle quickly. The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden is a psychological thriller that will have you scratching your head and full of confusion in the end.

The Church of Living Dangerously: Tales of a Drug-Running Megachurch Pastor by John Lee Bishop

Now, John Lee Bishop is ready to tell the full story in The Church of Living Dangerously. Buck up, and get ready to get all the way in his business!

The Cul-De-Sac by Christopher Null
Klaus Fischer is done with killing people. He is a veteran serial killer who was never caught. He can definitely retire now with his head held high as one of the ones who got away.
