I think I heard someone in our camping group say last night that this was the 20th year that we have been camping at Clear Lake as a group. 20 years ago we would sleep in tents. Then the children started coming and our backs got older, so we moved up to RV’s and trailers. I don’t feel like it has been 20 years. I think we all look the same. The fact that the kids are now taller than us in the annual Clear Lake group picture hints that time may have past after all. Pictures don’t lie, but do they have to be so blunt about it?
Couple Killer (Violet Darger FBI Mystery Thriller Book 9)
by L.T. Vargus, Tim McBain
(5,473 Reviews)
FREE for a limited time
A shadow walks the streets at night. Stalking couples in their cars. Flashlight in one hand. Gun in the other. Killing people is so much fun.
When multiple murders terrorize a small town college campus, FBI profiler Violet Darger heads to rural Michigan to investigate. As soon as she arrives, a grim history begins to emerge.
The crimes have progressed steadily over a period of 18 months.
Indecent exposure to stalking.
Stalking to rape.
Rape to murder.
The UNSUB’s emphasis on power and control rapidly verges toward full blown sadism. He grows ever bolder, ever more vicious.
What could be more dangerous than a killer aroused by expressions of rage? Increasing brutality. Overkill.
Understanding his psychological motivations will guide the efforts to stop him.
Darger digs into the history. Tries to figure out how the perpetrator advanced unchecked to graver and graver trangressions.
What she finds buried in the police records unsettles her as much as the murders themselves.
While a faceless killer terrorizes the campus, the school administrators remain focused on burying the story.
The revelation creates another complication: The students feel disenfranchised. Angry.
Prostesters gather on lawns. Ignore the citywide curfew. An uprising brewing all over campus.
Darger must navigate an uncooperative administration, a powder keg of a campus, and a killer as savage and dangerous as any she’s ever faced.
When it all boils over, chaos descends on the townspeople. And the killer walks among them.

Breaking Up With Barrett: The English Brothers #1 (The Blueberry Lane Series)
by Katy Regnery
(9,357 Reviews)
FREE for a limited time
NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY bestselling series!
Breaking Up With Barrett is the first of seven books about the Philadelphia-based, wildly-handsome English brothers who are all on the look-out for love.
(Except Alex. He’s a womanizing manwhore. And maybe Stratton, because he’s wicked hot, but super awkward around girls.)
Barrett English, aka “the Shark,” is the fair-haired, first-born of the English brothers, and the CEO of the oldest, most prestigious investment banking firm in Philadelphia. He rules the boardroom with an iron fist, refusing to take no for an answer and always getting his way.
Emily Edwards, a first-year doctoral student at the University of Pennsylvania, grew up in the gatehouse on the outskirts of Barrett’s childhood estate. The daughter of his family’s gardener and housekeeper, she was always looking through the window of privilege, but forced to remember her place at the very periphery of the kingdom.
When business partners suggest that a fiancee might soften Barrett’s image over business dinners, he approaches Emily for the “job” of fiancee. And while love wasn’t necessarily on Barrett’s radar, he begins to realize that Emily always has been. But will his take-no-prisoners boardroom tactics work on the heart of the woman he loves?
