Summer is almost here!

The Girl in Cabin 10 – Who doesn’t want a sharp, fast paced thriller when they’re lounging by the beach? I flew through this book in a couple of days and that was only because I have a job and a baby. otherwise I probably would have devoured it in one sitting. Mystery, intrigue and the high seas, trapped on a cruise ship? It’s Agatha Christie for the new age!

In this tightly wound story, Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel magazine, has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: a week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins. At first, Lo’s stay is nothing but pleasant: the cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant. But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, gray skies fall, and Lo witnesses what she can only describe as a nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. The problem? All passengers remain accounted for—and so, the ship sails on as if nothing has happened, despite Lo’s desperate attempts to convey that something (or someone) has gone terribly, terribly wrong…
With surprising twists and a setting that proves as uncomfortably claustrophobic as it is eerily beautiful, Ruth Ware offers up another intense read.

The Couple Next Door – How much do we really know about each other or about ourselves? This psychological thriller is well done and kept me on my toes with a small cliffhanger at the end of every chapter!! That’s right, you’ll be begging to just read one more chapter, just one more, well into the night. When a middle class family’s baby is kidnapped, the police are suspicious about everyone. About the possibly unfaithful husband, the emotional and dark wife/mother and the couple next door, who they were having dinner with the night it occurred. The baby monitor was in arm’s reach. The father and mother were going back an forth to check back on the baby every hour. How could this happen? Twisty and hard to put down!

The Girl From Everywhere and its sequel The Ship Beyond Time – Maybe you want some time travel adventure and this creative little gem really delivers. Nix is a girl with a past that is her present as she and her father sail from map to map, trying to find THE map that will get them back to Nix’s mother. But by doing so, will that erase Nix’s very existence? Seriously entertaining and creative, I loved every minute of this book and you will too if you’re looking for adventure!

Open Road Summer by Emery Lord – Who doesn’t love little bit or romance? A hugely successful singer/songwriter (think Taylor Swift) and her best friend go on tour and on the way find some romance in a fellow songwriter/opening act that will leave you tingly. This is Emery Lord’s debut and a few years old now, but honestly, it’s one of my favorite summer books.

For Darkness Shows The Stars – Persuasion retelling complete with heartbreak, love and second chances. I loved this book so much more than I thought I would. It’s a few years old now, but you can’t help be swept away into this fantasy world. And you know, love.

The Royal We – Read this now! Before the movie comes out! The Royal We is the fun fictionalized account of an American girl falling for the Prince of England. (Hello Kate and William!) It’s easy to read and sweet and wonderfully fun. Perfect beach reading when you want some romance, some gossip and a prince.

A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab – Magic and mystery surround this fantasy book by the popular YA author. This book is Adult Fiction though and lot of dark fantasy thrive in four different Londons where magic prevails, kills, rules and dies. I loved Kell’s character in the first book and I’m anxious to start the second. The third book just released earlier this year so now you can binge on the trilogy with out the wait!
