Fiction by Drew Hayes
This is the sequel to Super Powereds Year One, unsurprisingly. It expanded the story and held quite a few surprises.
I really liked it!

Golden Hills
Amazon Prime Short Story Fiction by Jennifer Weiner.
This was a great little story about a woman confronting her past and the power of friendship. I loved it but it was too short for me of course.
But, then again, it was free!

Outfox
Fiction by Sandra Brown.
This was an okay story about an FBI agent obsessed with finding a serial killer that his supervisor at the bureau doesn’t believe exists. He takes leave and goes undercover to try to catch this guy, who has a new identity and a new rich wife.
Obviously to the reader, this guy really is the serial killer. He’s completely despicable. Also the wife is hot. And the FBI agent is hot. And the two of them fall madly in love. And the mean supervisor is a conceited jerk who tries to thwart our hero at every turn. But we know justice will prevail!
What I’m saying is, I felt that this story was a little formulaic. It did have a few surprises though.

What Never Happened
Amazon Prime Fiction by Rachel Howzell Hall.
At the beginning of this story it’s the year 2000 and a terrible tragedy strikes sixteen-year-old Colette Weber’s family soon after their move to Catalina, an island off the coast of California. Both her parents and her brother are murdered. Twenty years later she comes back to the island to try to rebuild a life there, just as the pandemic is about to turn the world upside down, not to mention that the man convicted of her family’s killing has been released!
This was an interesting mystery; it was not quite fast-paced enough to be a great thriller but it was still pretty good. I was surprised by the ending.

Do Not Disturb
Fiction by Freida McFadden.
This story opens with the heroine, Quinn Alexander, washing the blood from her hands as there is a knock on the door. The police have come to check on her; apparently the neighbors had heard her screaming when her husband Derek tried to choke her to death. Still, she can’t possibly let the policeman inside, because now Derek is lying dead in the kitchen with a knife in his belly.
This was an exciting beginning to a great thriller with several unexpected twists!

Lost in Time
Fiction by A.G. Riddle
In an America not too far in the future, Sam Anderson and his five colleagues have figured out a way to almost eliminate serious crime. Instead of the threat of life imprisonment or death row, offenders are faced with Absalom, a machine that sends them back in time to the age of the dinosaurs. Fear of this "fate worth than death" has a major effect, and society is better for it.
But what happens when Sam himself is accused of a murder? This book was really exciting and full of surprises! I recommend it and will look for more by this author.
