Monday’s Not Coming by Tiffany D. Jackson was both tense and heartbreaking, which I am coming to find is a specialty of the author. In this novel we meet Claudia, a teenager in Washington D.C. who is trying to find her missing friend, Monday.

Creep by Jennifer Hillier
After reading three of Jennifer Hillier’s recent psychological thrillers, I knew I had to go back and read her first book, Creep. She first published this novel in 2012 and it delivers on mystery, tension, and disturbing events – much like her more current works.
Allegedly by Tiffany D. Jackson
Allegedly is yet another Tiffany D. Jackson book that had my complete attention. In it we meet Mary, a fifteen-year-old girl who is in the care of a state-run home after serving six years in juvenile detention. When she was 9 years old, the 3-month-old baby that her mother was babysitting was murdered … and all signs pointed to Mary.
The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory
The Proposal (The Wedding Date #2) by Jasmine Guillory is a cute, lighthearted romance novel that features two people who were absolutely not looking for love yet find it anyway. In it we meet Nik on one of the most publicly weird days of her life, as she rejects a wedding proposal on the jumbotron in Dodger stadium.
Hurricane Summer by Asha Bromfield
Hurricane Summer by Asha Bromfield is a debut contemporary YA novel that held my heart captive while I read it. In it, we meet Tilla and her sister who are traveling from their home in Canada to their dad’s home in Jamaica.
These Silent Woods by Kimi Cunningham Grant

Yinka, Where is Your Huzband? by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn
Yinka, Where is Your Huzband? by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn is a wonderful book that is so much more than a romance story. In it we meet Yinka, a British Nigerian woman with an Oxford education, a good career, a solid friend group, and the constant pressure from her family to get married.
