I’ve had some pretty good luck with my book picks lately, although they have been newer books and not necessarily ones that have been on my TBR list (that list gets longer every week…at least!). When I have a good streak of reading, I get a little antsy on what I’ll read next---who would want to break a good reading streak? Not me!
All Good People Here by Ashley Flowers
When a young girl goes missing in an Indiana small town, it brings up memories of a (somewhat) similar case from when Margot was only six years’ old. Now that Margot is a grown adult, working as an investigative journalist, and has moved back to her small town to help take care of her uncle, it’s this new case she wants to write about---even if no one else thinks there is a connection to when her friend went missing as a girl, Margot sees it and she’s out to prove it. This is the first book written by everybody’s favorite Crime Junkie, Ashley Flowers. With some similarities to real-life stories, this book moves quickly! Very good for her first book; I sure hope she writes some more!
Special Note: Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this novel in exchange for an honest review.

In The Dark We Forget by Sandra SG Wong
A young woman wakes up in the street, feeling bruised and broken, with no recollection of how she got there. Once she fully comes to, she realizes she actually has no recollection of…anything. As she works with the police to find out what happened to her, she finds out who her family is, and realizes they seem to be in danger as well---except she has to wonder if that danger is coming from her. Although this book started a little slow, I was very glad I stuck with it. Pages flew as while reading, at least up until the last quarter of the book. I think I would’ve enjoyed this book so much more if that last 25% could’ve been wrapped up a little faster, but it was still good. I’d be happy to read another book by this author.
