I'm posting a 'soon to be released' book on Wednesdays. These will always be books that I am particularly looking forward to. I'll be linking up to Tressa's blog at Wishful Endings and plan to take part in this each week.
I've enjoyed several books by the author of this week's book. The ones I've read are usually set in a wooded region (like upstate New York) and usually have a Gothic type feel. I like that. This week I can't wait for:
Publication Date: March 26th
ALICE gets off a bus in the middle of a snowstorm in Delphi, NY. She is fleeing an abusive relationship and desperate to protect...
OREN, ten years old, a major Star Wars fan and wise beyond his years. Though Alice is wary, Oren bonds nearly instantly with...
MATTIE, a social worker in her fifties who lives in an enormous run-down house in the middle of the woods. Mattie lives alone and is always available, and so she is the person the hotline always calls when they need a late-night pickup. And although according to protocol Mattie should take Alice and Oren to a local shelter, instead she brings them home for the night. She has plenty of room, she says. What she doesn't say is that Oren reminds her of her little brother, who died thirty years ago at the age of ten.
But Mattie isn't the only one withholding elements of the truth. Alice is keeping her own secrets. And as the snowstorm worsens around them, each woman's past will prove itself unburied, stirring up threats both within and without.
I've this one on my to-read list. What I like about her books is the atmospheric/gothic feel and her cast of characters and this one looks like it is no exception.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think she definitely has a talent for writing literary suspense.
DeleteI’m looking forward to reading this one too! I’ve enjoyed all of the books that I’ve read by her so far but I still have a few I need to catch up on.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read all of them yet either. Since she seems to only write standalones, we can catch up at any time, right?
DeleteThis sounds like a good one!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping so, Kathy.
DeleteThis one sounds really interesting! I like Gothic-type books, so I'll look this one up. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy WOW for this week.
Glad it sounded good to you too, Louise. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI think I featured this one some time ago. I'm always sucked in when I see the word "Gothic."
ReplyDeleteBarb, that may have been where I saw notice of it. Yes, Gothic gets me too.
DeleteHow have I not heard of this author before now? Count me in!
ReplyDeleteCarol Goodman writes interesting stories, Catherine. I bet you'd like them.
DeleteI got an e-ARC of this one from Edelweiss. Can't wait to read it! I love Carol Goodman. Aren't you the one who introduced me to her??
ReplyDeleteI may have mentioned her a few times, Susan. Or more than a few. Ha!
DeleteHave to admit Gothic draws me as well. It sounds interesting. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteGlad it sounds good to you as well, Laura.
DeleteOh, I'm definitely in for this one. So many elements that intrigue me!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm eager to read this.
DeleteI can see why you are looking forward to this one being published Kay.
ReplyDeleteI do like the way this author tells a story, Cleo.
DeleteToo scary for me, I think. A "run-down house in the middle of the woods"? No way.
ReplyDeleteTracy, that just seems fun to me. Well, maybe not 'fun', but intriguing. Ha!
DeleteThis sounds like it could get very suspenseful!
ReplyDeleteYes, all of this author's books that I've read so far are like that.
DeleteCarol Goodman's a great author. I'm anxious to read this one, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised, Lark. We seem to share some of the same tastes, right?
DeleteI never read anything by this author, but it does sound like a good book.
ReplyDeleteI like the way this author tells a story.
DeleteThis sounds pretty intense! I think I've only read The Lake of Dead Languages, which as I recall was pretty good.
ReplyDeleteYes, I read that one last year. It was very early in her writing life.
DeleteThis is one I really want to read too. I have only read books by her under her Juliet Dark name (and I loved those) so far.
ReplyDeleteAnd I haven't read any of the Juliet Dark books. I'll have to look for those.
DeleteI've also enjoyed a lot of Carol Goodman's books so I am putting this one on my radar!
