In the Blood
By Steve Robinson / Genre: Action & Adventure / Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars (374 reviews)
Family history was never supposed to be like this…
When American genealogist, Jefferson Tayte, accepted his latest assignment he had no idea it might kill him. But while murder was never part of the curriculum he is kidding himself if he thinks he can walk away from this one.
Why can’t I trace them? What happened to them?
Driven by the irony of being a genealogist who doesn’t know who his own parents are, Tayte soon finds that the assignment shares a stark similarity to his own struggle. Someone has gone to great lengths to erase an entire family bloodline from recorded history and he’s not going home until he’s found out why. After all, if he’s not good enough to find this family, how can he ever expect to be good enough to someday find his own?
Set in Cornwall, England, past and present, Tayte’s research centres around the tragic life of a young Cornish girl, a writing box, and the discovery of a dark family secret that he believes will lead him to the family he is looking for. Trouble is, someone else is looking for the same answers and they will stop at nothing to find them.

He is asked to keep a woman named Lindsay Hammond alive for the next 72 hours, as an army of street thugs, career criminals and professional assassins press in around them from every direction.

Practice Cake
By Dalya Moon / Genre: Young Adult / Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars (68 reviews)
Maddie Bird is out of high school. Whoopee. This summer is turning out to be, in blogger Chloe’s words, “hashtag, the worst.” The weather’s cold, the economy sucks, and the city is overrun with hockey playoff bandwagoners.
At least Maddie has a bakery job she loves. She’s never had much money, but she is a hard worker. There’s just one problem: her flirty co-worker, Drew. All it takes is one of his sly winks, and she’s incinerating the cookies.
Maddie’s best friend keeps pushing her cousin Hudson as a potential love-puppy. He’s clever and has nice brown eyes, but he’s so arrogant. Which is ironic, since the guy’s hobby is making origami. Come on. Origami?
Maddie tries to focus on her career and stay away from bad-boy Drew, but fate, in the form of a reality show, keeps pushing them together. They spend an evening at his house, working on re-branding for the bakery, and one hot makeout session changes everything. That’s right. Everything’s about to get way worse.
Chock full of imperfect people behaving badly, Practice Cake is light-hearted and brimming with humor.
