The Family Fortune by Laurie Horowitz
“This novel is a modern adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion. I picked up it for a quick easy summer read and found it to be exactly the enjoyable read that I expected - same romanticized view of the world, same characters, same plot line, with just a modernization of the frivolity.”
Thanks to Lisa for these two great reviews:

“Amazing combination of history and horror! Grahame-Smith weaves the popular lore of vampires with real American history into a book that you can't put down!”

The Maze Runner by James Dashner
“Found this book in the "teen" section, but it had me on the edge of my seat! When a virus is accidentally set loose on humankind, a test-group of teenagers is put through unspeakable trials in an attempt to find a cure (part one, of a trilogy).”
A couple more from Rewa!

Fifty Shades Darker, Book 2 by E. L. James
“After book 1, I was looking forward to continuing where Christian's & Anastasia's love story left off in book 1. This book was more 'adult situations' and less story line. Villains were incorporated as the couple continues to learn how to deal with each other.”

Fifty Shades Freed, Book 3 by E. L. James
“Book 3 appeared to be an add-on to the original. I found that it tried to 'normalize' Christian's & Anastasia's relationship. They were able to overcome many obstacles. Overall, I enjoyed the trilogy but there was too much hype around it.”
Behind the Duke's Door by Lynne Silver
“Harry has a frowned upon, 'secret' relationship with Arthur and Elizabeth is well aware of it and has agreed to marry him and give him an heir anyway. The wedding night is shocking. This book just might shock you - be warned!” Available as a free eBook through OverDrive
