It’s Tuesday! That means it is time to make a little bit of room on the bookshelves, load up your ereader, or make your way to your local library. In other words – It is time to get your hands on a new book!
Here are just a few books that have just been released that you may want to grab soon:
Gone Again by James Grippando
Sashi Burgette vanished three years ago on her way to school. The night
after the teenager’s disappearance, ex-con Dylan Kyle was stopped for
drunk driving. An article of Sashi’s clothing was found in his truck,
and a police videotape of his drunken explanation under interrogation
sealed his fate at trial. Now, just days from Kyle’s execution, Sashi’s
mother visits Jack Swyteck, doing pro bono work at the Freedom
Institute, and delivers shocking news: “Sashi called me.”
The police dismiss the call as a cruel hoax. The State Attorney refuses
to consider the new evidence, insisting the case is closed. The
governor has already signed the death warrant. An innocent man may be
executed and time is running out—unless his lawyers can locate Sashi.
A man of principle who believes in justice, Jack jumps into the
investigation. But the deeper he digs the more he discovers that
nothing is what it appears to be. Not the victim. Not her alleged
killer. And definitely not Sashi’s parents, whose grief ruptured their
marriage, each openly blaming the other for what happened to their
daughter.
As their gut-wrenching and hopelessly conflicting version of events
unfolds in a Miami courtroom, it becomes clear there is something even
more difficult to find than a long-missing girl . . .
The truth.
The Passenger by Lisa Lutz
bestselling Spellman Files series, Lisa Lutz’s latest blistering
thriller is about a woman who creates and sheds new identities as she
crisscrosses the country to escape her past: you’ll want to buckle up
for the ride!
In case you were wondering, I didn’t do it. I
didn’t have anything to do with Frank’s death. I don’t have an alibi, so
you’ll have to take my word for it…
Forty-eight hours
after leaving her husband’s body at the base of the stairs, Tanya Dubois
cashes in her credit cards, dyes her hair brown, demands a new name
from a shadowy voice over the phone, and flees town. It’s not the first
time.
She meets Blue, a female bartender who recognizes the
hunted look in a fugitive’s eyes and offers her a place to stay. With
dwindling choices, Tanya-now-Amelia accepts. An uneasy―and
dangerous―alliance is born.
It’s almost impossible to live off
the grid today, but Amelia-now-Debra and Blue have the courage, the
ingenuity, and the desperation, to try. Hopscotching from city to city,
Debra especially is chased by a very dark secret…can she outrun her
past?
With heart-stopping escapes and devious deceptions, The Passenger
is an amazing psychological thriller about defining yourself while you
pursue your path to survival. One thing is certain: the ride will leave
you breathless.

Into the Dim by Janet B. Taylor
When fragile,
sixteen-year-old Hope Walton loses her mom to an earthquake overseas,
her secluded world crumbles. Agreeing to spend the summer in Scotland,
Hope discovers that her mother was more than a brilliant academic, but
also a member of a secret society of time travelers. Trapped in the
twelfth century in the age of Eleanor of Aquitaine, Hope has seventy-two
hours to rescue her mother and get back to their own time. Along the
way, her path collides with that of a mysterious boy who could be vital
to her mission . . . or the key to Hope’s undoing. Addictive,
romantic, and rich with historical detail, Into the Dim is an Outlander for teens.
The Passenger has been floating around on the edges of my radar and I really like the blurb. It tackles something that I've really wondered about. Even 30 years ago it was reasonably easy to disappear and now it seems impossible. I'm curious about this one and Gone Again and I Kissed a Rogue both look like interesting reads as well.
I have had The Passenger for a while and feel a bit guilty for not getting to it yet. It does seem impossible to disappear with technology the way that it is.
oh I want to read I Kissed A Rogue so badly…but I still need to read books 1 and 2. Love this author though. Thanks for the reminder.
I Kissed A Rogue does look wonderful. I have an ARC that I hope to get to soon.
