Thriller

To Die For (The 6:20 Man, #3) by David Baldacci

This is book three of the 6:20 man series but can be read as a stand-alone. I thought I’d read the first two books, but turns out, I hadn’t. No worries. The author provides enough back story on the main character Travis Devine so the reader does not feel too lost. Travis is ex-military, worked as a Wall Street trader, and has enough skills and survival sense to deal with whatever is thrown at him. This time he’s asked to help the FBI escort 12 year old orphan Betsy to meet with her uncle – a guy he served with in a battle overseas. But the uncle is now a criminal kingpin facing RICO charges.

Perfect Girl by Tracy Banghart

This is a YA thriller with plenty of twists and jump scares to get your blood pumping. The author does a great job setting up a dark, creepy setting that will keep you holding your breath and jumping at every new twist. The night started off-kilter with the tension between the friends and just got worse after that. There are plenty of icky characters to dislike, which always makes a book fun. Who doesn’t love hoping the icky person gets their comeuppance?
