Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London.

Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him....

The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive.]]> 336 Alex Michaelides 1250301696 Renee J. Anderson 3 4.17 2019 The Silent Patient

]]> <![CDATA[The Abnormals Underground Boxed Set: Books 6-8 (Abnormals Underground, #6-8)]]> 40078677 Books 6-8 of the Abnormals Underground Series is now available as a boxed set! Books 6-8 make up the Janine's Story trilogy, which takes place after the events of the first five books.

Turned By Blood: Janine's always been the useless human in her social circle, the one who stays behind while her vampire, werewolf, and Mage friends have all the cool adventures. According to her pals, she's lucky, because society gives supernaturals a hard time. But being Normal is so...boring. And her mother always says she'll never amount to anything.

Or shall she say, being Normal was boring. After a bite from her best friend, Janine finds herself a newborn vampire. And now she can finally kick butt at soccer, stay out all night and cram in more studying to get her grades up. So long as her mother doesn't find out...

But maybe Turning isn't the best thing that ever happened to Janine. The new diet is tricky and so is going back to school. And then she bites someone who just might be a god, and her new powers heighten to the point where she draws the attention of the Mother of All Vampires. That's not a good thing because the Mother has a horrible plan for all the vampires along with humanity, and Janine finds herself at the center of it.

Chained By Blood: After her narrow escape from the first vampire, Janine is beginning to realize that Turning isn't the greatest thing ever. She's still making dumb mistakes, her relationship with her mom is at risk more than ever, and the cute, awkward boy she rescued, Brendan, is sending her mixed signals. In short, she doesn't feel any better than the useless human she once was.

But when an error she makes gets her werewolf cousin captured by the ATC and dragged to the facility that Bathory is planning to attack in a few days, Janine has no choice but to try the dumbest thing yet: the only way inside is to turn herself in. Janine's the only one for the job with her enhanced senses and strength. And it's the only hope of stopping Bathory from building a powerful army and turning the city of Cumberland into a blood farm.

Secrets will be revealed. Pain will be unmasked. And the danger will be higher than ever.

Freed By Blood: This is the eighth Abnormals Underground book and the third book in Janine's Story.

After narrowly escaping the ATC facility and discovering a shocking truth about her past, Janine's getting terrified of, well, everything. Not only is her mother about to find out she's a vampire, but Bathory is on the march, forcing the military to her side. Soon, she's going to march into the city and end Janine along with almost everyone else. And her new crush, Brendan, is still tricky to figure out.

And the only hope of stopping her might be the man she just rescued, Richard Grimes, Head of the Abnormal Treatment Centers and supernatural-hater by default. But is he? It turns out Janine's former enemy is not as simple as he seems, but waking him will force Janine to face her deepest fears of not measuring up.

Time is running out. Can Janine face the dark and save the City of Cumberland?]]> 565 Holly Hook Renee J. Anderson 0 to-read 4.50 The Abnormals Underground Boxed Set: Books 6-8 (Abnormals Underground, #6-8)

]]> The Things We Wish Were True 29632984 In an idyllic small-town neighborhood, a near tragedy triggers a series of dark revelations.

From the outside, Sycamore Glen, North Carolina, might look like the perfect all-American neighborhood. But behind the white picket fences lies a web of secrets that reach from house to house.

Up and down the streets, neighbors quietly bear the weight of their own pasts—until an accident at the community pool upsets the delicate equilibrium. And when tragic circumstances compel a woman to return to Sycamore Glen after years of self-imposed banishment, the tangle of the neighbors’ intertwined lives begins to unravel.

During the course of a sweltering summer, long-buried secrets are revealed, and the neighbors learn that it’s impossible to really know those closest to us. But is it impossible to love and forgive them?

]]> Avenue of Mysteries 25111109 As we grow older—most of all, in what we remember and what we dream—we live in the past. Sometimes, we live more vividly in the past than in the present.

As an older man, Juan Diego will take a trip to the Philippines, but what travels with him are his dreams and memories; he is most alive in his childhood and early adolescence in Mexico. “An aura of fate had marked him,” John Irving writes, of Juan Diego. “The chain of events, the links in our lives—what leads us where we’re going, the courses we follow to our ends, what we don’t see coming, and what we do—all this can be mysterious, or simply unseen, or even obvious.”

Avenue of Mysteries is the story of what happens to Juan Diego in the Philippines, where what happened to him in the past—in Mexico—collides with his future.]]> 460 John Irving 1451664168 Renee J. Anderson 0 3.22 2015 Avenue of Mysteries
