I Know What You Did by Cayce Osborn

-


It is very painful to read about Petal Woznewski's  traumatic situation. She found the bodies of her parents on the bed. If you've ever been to a  wax museum, you have a good idea what her mother and father looked like. If  she is not allowed to talk about what she saw, it can only hurt her. Think about children and teens who are orphaned because someone chose to brutally assault their parents. We always think our parents are immortal. What an ugly way to find out life's truths. Imagine what it is like when a book is published about what is happening in your life. All your secrets uncovered. It is not possible to hide anywhere. The book, "No One Suspected," by Me Littleton  is in a store window and every other place you can name. Plus, the book is dedicated to Petal. She had not heard anything about this book coming out. Now she hears the book might become a movie. Petal  hides her fears. She spends time looking for the author of "No One Suspected." He or she has used a pen name.

It seems like Petal is really trying to get questions answered. Spending time looking for the author seems like a white lie.She seems afraid to dig too deeply. At this point,  everything surrounding Petal seems phony. Who is Petal really ? We are wasting time.  unspoken fears are slowing down the  search and find  process.When will the truth come out? And what truth are we looking for? Is the death of her parents related to what happened to her circle of friends?   At this point, she is her worse enemy.  I wish she had a friend to help her along. I think her purpose is unclear. Maybe this stall tactic will make the answers more shocking.This is a complimentary copy from Crooked Lane Books

Fairytale of New York by Zor Folbigg

 Charlie is leaving Lancashire for New York. It is her first time visiting there. She is so excited. In her shoes, I would feel the same way. The trip on the plane goes well. Everything is great until she figures it out. Harry Taylor is not there to meet her.  It is such a horrible feeling to experience what is happening to her. She spends hours at the airport and find she does not have enough information with her. The story goes on. Although I have never had this experience, I almost feel her pain. It is a wonderful book. We definitely learn about Charlie.When all we want to know is where is Harry. Walking this woman back and forth as she tries to think what to tell her parents, etc. leaves the heart pumping faster and faster. You really feel like crying for her. This is not the way I pictured her New York Christmas. By the way, Lancashire is near London.

In From The Cold by Sarah Bennett

 My family must own some secrets too. It seems the normal thing. If they have any skeletons rattling in the closet,  they have been more than silent. At the moment, I am looking at all of them with suspicious eyes.  "In From The Cold" is about a family in turmoil. So many relationships cluttered with a hush. Since it is a novel, I can read it with the joy of being uninvolved. I do not know what happens to the body as we make up lies to cover truths. It is all done because we want to protect someone from pain. As we protect them, they look around and see and feel that some thing is not right about their life. The one who is keeping the secrets searches for ways to cover his dishonesty: drinking, sex, running. It is all just balls scattered on the floor. No one can walk through them. You just get a bigger headache. This proves that secrets have a life too. They scramble and move around like crabs. Until one day they bust out of confinement. Then, trouble really moves in. There
