Woman on the EdgeWoman on the Edge by Samantha M. Bailey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was AMAZING.
From beginning to end. It was hard to put down. It starts off with a bang and almost never slows down.
The book is told in two parts that switch back and forth by chapter. The present-day is told from Morgan's POV, the past from Nicole's.
Morgan is standing on the platform waiting for her train to arrive when a woman hands her baby and jumps in front of a train. Besides adding a baby this opening scene totally reminded me of the opening to Orphan Black and that description had me sold and did not disappoint.
Nicole's chapters deal with finding out she's pregnant, a secret from her past and the worry it brings.
I don't know what else to say without spoiling things.
I felt anxious as Morgan's tries to figure out why Nicole handed her baby to her.
I doubted and felt Nicole's paranoia at the same time.
So GOOD

Thanks to all who provided this ARC!

I knew it was fiction but knowing that these types of things happened in the past weighed on me as I read. Winny is ninety-seven years old, living with her granddaughter and great-grandson Jamie, the spitting image of her late husband. An old wooden trunk has them asking questions when it's contents tumble out. It's part of Winny's painful past she longed to forget. And when they ask her about the family tree she starts her story at what brought her to Canada. The book is told in parts each one starting in present day. Then the chapters move to the past told from Winny's point of view and switch back and forth to Jack's point of view. They are indentured servants who were told that they wer

The Good Lie by A.R. Torre

Six teens murdered. A suspect behind bars. A desperate father. In a case this shadowy, the truth is easy to hide. Six teenagers dead. Finally, the killer behind bars. But are the games just beginning? Psychiatrist Dr. Gwen Moore is an expert on killers. She’s spent a decade treating California’s most depraved predators and unlocking their motives—predators much like the notorious Bloody Heart serial killer, whose latest teenage victim escaped and then identified local high school teacher Randall Thompson as his captor. The case against Thompson as the Bloody Heart Killer is damning—and closed, as far as Gwen and the media are concerned. If not for one new development… Defense attorney Robert Kavin is a still-traumatized father whose own son fell prey to the BH Killer. Convinced of Thompson’s innocence, he steps in to represent him. Now Robert wants Gwen to interview the accused, create a psych profile of the killer and his victims, and help clear his client’s name. As Gwen and Robert
