Twenty-five years ago, Jessica, Norah, and Alicia all found themselves living at Wild Meadows, a foster care home, until one event led them…
If Something Happens to Me
Well, another night of lost sleep thanks to Alex Finlay making me binge a book. That’s probably more my lack of responsible adulting more than anything, but he’s still to blame. In Finlay’s signature style, he expertly weaves together multiple story lines, If Something Happens to Me is a twisty, page turning, action packed, and…

Follow April and Eddie on their honeymoon, Murder Road, has all the 90’s vibes. While on their way to a…
