Whatcha Reading Wednesday - The Girlfriend

Thriller!

The Girlfriend

by Michelle Frances

What they say: A mother. A son. His girlfriend. And the lie they'll wish had never been told.

Laura has it all. A successful career, a long marriage to a rich husband, and a twenty-three-year-old son, Daniel, who is kind, handsome, and talented. Then Daniel meets Cherry. Cherry is young, beautiful and smart but hasn't led Laura's golden life. And she wants it.

When tragedy strikes, a decision is made and a lie is told. A lie so terrible it changes their lives forever...

The Girlfriend is a taut and wickedly twisted debut psychological thriller--a novel of subtle sabotage, retaliation, jealousy and fear, which pivots on an unforgivable lie, and examines the mother-son-daughter-in-law relationship in a chilling new light.

by Cindy R. Wilson

Entangled Teen

I haven’t left my house in over a year. My doctor says it’s social anxiety, but I know the only things that are safe are made of paper. My room is paper. My world is paper. Everything outside is fire. All it would take is one spark for me to burst into flames. So I stay inside. Where nothing can touch me.

Then my mom hires a tutor. Jackson. This boy I had a crush on before the world became too terrifying to live in. Jackson’s life is the complete opposite of mine, and I can tell he’s got secrets of his own. But he makes me feel things. Makes me want to try again. Makes me want to be brave. I can almost taste the outside world. But so many things could go wrong, and all it takes is one spark for everything I love to disappear...

Excerpt:

BlackKNIGHT:

That wasn’t your best move.

Rogue2015:

You won’t be saying that when it’s checkmate.

BlackKNIGHT:

So…Rogue? Is that an X-men reference?

Rogue2015:

You’re stalling. It’s your move.

BlackKNIGHT:

You like comics, don’t you?

Rogue2015:

Your turn.

BlackKNIGHT:

Don’t you?

Rogue2015:

Yes.

BlackKNIGHT:

Comic lover and chess player. Cool. What other awesome things were you born to

be?

Rogue2015:

I was born to be a lot of things.

BlackKNIGHT:

Like what?

Rogue2015:

Maybe I didn’t phrase that right. I meant I was born to be a person who does a

lot of things.

BlackKNIGHT:

Sounds like you already do.

Rogue2015:

I wish that were real life. In real life…I’m scared of almost everything. The computer

is safe. Chess is safe. The real world? Not so much.

BlackKNIGHT:

I get that. You can be yourself when you’re anonymous, but in real life you

have to answer to who you really are. And sometimes, that’s the scariest thing

of all.

Rogue2015:

Exactly. Now, it’s your turn.
