The Whispers by Ashley Audrain
Full confession: I’m an Ashley Audrain super fan. When ‘The Push’ was released, I told every friend, co-worker and family member to read it. I also bought a signed copy for my bookshelf. So when ‘The Whispers’ was announced, it went to the top of my most anticipated books of the year. And I’m happy… Keep Reading

WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME by GILLIAN McALLISTER
Twisty, smart and mind-blowing! I’m a fan of time travel and time jump books, so I was hooked just from the book description of a mother going back in time to try and prevent her son from committing a murder. Plus the mom is a lawyer like me! Sold. Jen is the parent of teenaged… Keep Reading
