~*The Girl from Widow Hills by Megan Miranda*~

5 out of 5 stars Megan Miranda never lets me down. there are certain authors that you just wait excitedly for each release and that is the case with Miranda.  Her novels pull me in right away and I absolutely love each of her main characters. This book was just as good as I hoped/expected! Arden survived something terrible, at six years old she was sleepwalking and she disappeared.  She was found three days later in a storm drain by Sean Coleman, a quiet volunteer. Arden's disappearance made the small town  of Widow Hills famous  as well as Arden and her Mother. Life was never the same and not in a good way.

~*The Second Home by Christina Clancy*~

4.5 out of 5 stars I would like to thank Netgalley and St. Martin's for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review Fifteen years after a disastrous Summer spent at the family's second home on Cape Cod when things are changed forever between Annie, her sister Poppy and their adoptive brother Michael Annie returns with Poppy. The sisters want to move on from what has happened and they feel that the only way they can is to sell the house. Michael, however doesn't want to sell it. He wants what he sees as the truth to come out. The relationships between the siblings was interesting and I loved that the house felt like a character as well. I love it when a town, a home or school feels like it's own character.  I won't say too much more about the family secrets because I fear it would give away too much.  This is a perfect Summer read and I would highly recommend it!
