Review: The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
The Mara Dyer trilogy remains one of the best fictional depictions of PTSD that I have come across. That just makes it more disappointing when the series badly misses the mark on other issues.
Review: Five Flavors of Dumb by Anthony John
Despite some flaws, it is clear the author did his research. I enjoyed this book and recommend it.

Review: Evidence of Things Not Seen by Lindsey Lane
Tommy Smythe disappears one Friday night, and even after weeks of searching he can’t be found. This is the story of a rural community’s search for Tommy, and the complicated social networks created by wrongdoings and secrets in a small town.
