What Caide and Rachael Abbott want you to believe... They are happily married college sweethearts, parents to two beautiful children, and they lead a perfect, quiet little life. What you should believe... Nothing. Nothing they tell you. Nothing you hear. In fact, nothing in the Abbotts' picture-perfect world is what it seems. But when their small town of La Rue, North Carolina is rocked by the brutal murder of a beloved member of the community, a manhunt begins, and neither Caide nor Rachael thought they would become prime suspects. Every belief Caide and Rachael have about their lives is thrown out the window... With mounting evidence and lives on the line, the Abbotts are forced to uncover what mysteries are hiding behind closed doors. When old wounds are torn open, secrets are revealed, and their sanity is put to the ultimate test, even memories can't be trusted in their quest to find the truth. And when the community rallies for justice, suspicions of one another rise, leaving one question begging to be answered... If it walks like a killer, will the small town of La Rue ever know who the real murderer is?

Book Description
From the award-winning author of The Turnout and Dare Me: a "mesmerizing psychological thriller" about a teenage girl who disappears during a 1980s suburban summer (Los Angeles Times). Thirteen-year old Lizzie Hood and her next door neighbor Evie Verver are inseparable. They are best friends who swap bathing suits and field-hockey sticks, and share everything that's happened to them. Together they live in the shadow of Evie's glamorous older sister Dusty, who provides a window on the exotic, intoxicating possibilities of their own teenage horizons. To Lizzie, the Verver household, presided over by Evie's big-hearted father, is the world's most perfect place. And then, one afternoon, Evie disappears. The only clue: a maroon sedan Lizzie spotted driving past the two girls earlier in the day. As a rabid, giddy panic spreads through the Midwestern suburban community, everyone looks to Lizzie for answers. Was Evie unhappy, troubled, upset? Had she mentioned being followed? Would she have gotten into the car of a stranger? Lizzie takes up her own furtive pursuit of the truth, prowling nights through backyards, peering through windows, pushing herself to the dark center of Evie's world. Haunted by dreams of her lost friend and titillated by her own new power at the center of the disappearance, Lizzie uncovers secrets and lies that make her wonder if she knew her best friend at all.

"Wonderfully emotional and beautifully written, Becoming Mrs. Smith will take hold of your heartstrings and leave you longing for more." Kelsey Gietl, author of Across Oceans Not all of war's destruction takes place on the battlefield. Violet's heart flutters from the scarlet fever she survived as a child, and it beats faster at the sight of John Smith, the man she plans to marry. America is entrenched in WWII, and when John enlists, Violet is certain she won't ever forgive him for dashing their dreams. As the realities of war slowly overtake her life, Violet's days are filled with uncertainty and grief. She struggles to maintain her faith in John, as the world as she knows it, crumbles. Becoming Mrs. Smith is the inspiring, and at times, heartbreaking story of a woman's struggle to reclaim what she lost. War stole the man she loves, and childhood illness weakened her heart-perhaps beyond repair. While guns rage in Europe, the war Violet faces at home may be even more devastating.

No one knows the list maker's identity or exactly what he wants from their town. They only know that they will do whatever it takes to keep their names off that piece of white paper. When Connor and Jordyn Atwood move to Bates, they find themselves thrown into a town full of darkness and evil, where each resident lives in fear of their neighbor-and even themselves. With no way out and the list maker's eye on them, the Atwoods learn they only have two choices. Do what you're told-or find your name on... The List."
