Lindsey Nash was young when she met and fell in love with Andrew; getting married after only six months. What started off as a great relationship slowly turned sour and ended with Lindsey escaping with their young daughter in the middle of the night. It's been eleven years and now her ex-husband is out of jail. Lindsey feels as if she's being watched. Her boyfriend is put in danger, her home is broken into and her daughter is being followed. And Lindsey truly believes there's only one person capable of scaring her like this - Andrew.  This page-turner had some pretty good twists. The characters and situations were believable and makes you wonder what truly goes on in other people's minds. Andrew made me so angry during their relationship! I felt so bad for Lindsey; her anguish was palpable.  4/5.

Catherine Reindeer vanishes without a trace after work. Now everyone in the small town is left with unanswered questions, worst-case scenarios and tiny shreds of hope.

After being held for months against her will it's only after she suffers a devastating loss that she finds the power to make an escape. We learn how this affects not only those closest to her but also acquaintances of Catherine's. We learn how her quiet strength and determination allow her to start to live her life again although it's different from the life she loved and lived before. The first chapter started off great! The book seemed so promising but sadly it kept going downhill after that first chapter and the book isn't something that's going to be memorable for me. Maybe too many points-of-view. 3/5.

Now she's determined to figure out who he was and what happened that she felt like her only option was to have him erased from her life. This was a quick and easy read. It switches between before Addison was in the accident and after. I liked getting glimpses of how things were before. I thought when she started seeing someone no one else could it was going to go a completely different way than it did, but th...

A young boy named Dong-ho is one of many who have been killed in the midst of a violent student uprising in South Korea. Interconnected chapters tell the stories of the victims and the bereaved - Dong-ho's best friend who has also been killed; Dong-ho's mother; an editor struggling against censorship; a prisoner; a factory worker. Each one of these people are suffering from their own traumatic memories. This is a fictional account of the 1980 Gwangju uprising. It is told in six chapters from six different points-of-view. I did not like how the first chapter was written. The second chapter was pretty good. I didn't make it all the way through the third chapter. I found this book jumped around too much and I wasn't interested enough to figure out what was going on. It was tedious and a chore to read.  DNF @ 44%. 1/5.
