The Whisper Man, written by Alex North was published by Celadon Books on 08/20/19.  I'm just going to stop you right now and tell you to go get this book IMMEDIATELY. When Tom Kennedy's wife dies, he believes he and his son Jake need a new start and they move to Featherbank.  Featherbank is the home of a very dark past. 20 years ago, 5 young boys were abducted and murdered by a man named Frank Carter.  He was nicknamed "The Whisper Man" because he would lure the boys out of their rooms at night by whispering at their windows. After Tom and Jake move in, another little boy vanishes and the events are almost identical to those of Frank Carter.  It is up to detectives Amanda Beck and Pete Willis to find the boy before it's too late, even if that means they have to confront The Whisper Man himself. They better hurry, because Jake is starting to act strangely.  He's hearing whispering at his window..... YOU GUYS. I 👏COULD👏NOT👏PUT👏THIS👏BOOK👏...

I lucked out majorly in receiving A Nearly Normal Family from NetGalley.  This book by M.T. Edvardsson was released by Celadon Books on 06/25/19. When 18 year old Stella Sandell is accused of murdering a man 15 years older than her, Stella's parents feel compelled to defend her.  Her father (a pastor) and her mother (a lawyer) stretch their morals and beliefs as they struggle to free their daughter, while the rest of the town is screaming for her punishment. This book was told in three parts-the father, the daughter, and the mother.  This was a unique take on a typical court situation and I really enjoyed it. I loved the layout of the book.  It was super interesting to each viewpoint without the others mixed in.  I was hooked from page 1.  I  actually annoyed when I had to put this book down to run errands or work.  The father's part was probably my favorite.  It was so sincere.  I could really feel his pain through the pages ...
