 First Frost by Sarah Addison Allen
Claire Waverley has started a successful new candy company, but the business of selling them is costing her the everyday joys of her family, and her belief in her own precious gifts. Sydney Waverley longs for a baby, yet the longer she tries, the more her desire becomes an unquenchable thirst, stealing the pleasure out of the life she already has. Sydney's daughter, Bay, has lost her heart to the boy she knows it belongs to...if only he could see it, too. When a mysterious stranger shows up and challenges the very heart of their family, each of them must make choices they have never confronted before. And through it all, the Waverley sisters must search for a way to hold their family together through their troublesome season of change, waiting for that extraordinary event that is First Frost.

 In Every Way by Nic Brown
Chapel Hill college student Maria finds herself in a predicament -- unexpectedly pregnant at nineteen. Still reeling from the fresh discovery of her mother's diagnosis with cancer, Maria's decision to give her daughter up for adoption is one that seems to be in everyone's best interest. So when her mother proposes an extended trip to sleepy coastal town Beaufort -- the same town that the adoptive couple Maria chose for her daughter just happens to live in -- Maria jumps at the chance to escape. She has kept close watch on the couple -- they live mere blocks away -- and, as opportunity demands, she accepts a position as their nanny. Maria ingratiates herself into the family -- hesitantly, at first, and then with all the confused and chaotic fervor of a mother separated from her child.

 The World Made Straight by Ron Rash
Travis Shelton is seventeen the summer he wanders into the woods onto private property near his North Carolina home, discovers a grove of marijuana large enough to make him some serious money, and steps into the jaws of a bear trap. After hours on the forest floor, he's released from the trap by the shrewd and vicious farmer who set it -- but he can no longer ignore the subtle evils that underlie the life of his small Appalachian community. Before long, Travis has moved out of his parents' home to live with Leonard Shuler, a one-time schoolteacher who now deals a little pot to make ends meet. Travis becomes his student, of sorts, and the fate of these two outsiders becomes increasingly entwined as the community's violent past and corrupt present bear down on each of them from every direction.

Miss Hazel and the Rosa Parks League by Jonathan Odell
Embittered and distrusting, Vida is harassed by Delphi's racist sheriff and haunted by the son she lost to the world. Hazel, too, has lost a son and can't keep a grip on her fractured life. After drunkenly crashing her car into a manger scene while gunning for the baby Jesus, Hazel is sedated and bed-ridden. Hazel's husband hires Vida to keep tabs on his unpredictable wife and to care for his sole surviving son. Forced to spend time together with no one else to rely on, the two women find they have more in common than they thought, and together they turn the town on its head. It is the story of a town, a people, and a culture on the verge of a great change that begins with small things, like unexpected friendship.

 Holy Cow by David Duchovny
Elsie Bovary is a cow, and a pretty happy one at that. One night, Elsie and her best friend Mallory sneak out of their pasture, and Elsie finds herself drawn to the farmhouse. Through the window, she sees the farmer's family gathered around a bright Box God -- and what the Box God reveals about something called an "industrial meat farm" shakes Elsie's understanding of her world to its core. There's only one solution: escape to a better, safer world. And so a motley crew is formed: Elsie; Jerry -- excuse me, Shalom -- a cranky, Torah-reading pig who's recently converted to Judaism; and Tom, a suave (in his own mind, at least) turkey who can't fly, but who can work an iPhone with his beak. Toting stolen passports and slapdash human disguises, they head for the airport.

 The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
With courage, grace and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women's war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion, and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France -- a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

 The Orphan Choir by Sophie Hannah
Louise has no reason left to stay in the city. She can't see her son, Joseph, who is away at boarding school where he performs in a prestigious boys' choir. Her troublesome neighbor has begun blasting choral music at all hours of the night -- and to make matters worse, she's the only one who can hear it. Hoping to find some peace, Louise convinces her husband, Stuart, to buy them a country house in an idyllic, sun-dappled community called Swallowfield. But it seems that the haunting melodies of the choir have followed her there. Against the pleas and growing disquiet of her husband, Louise starts to suspect that this sinister choir is not only real, but a warning. But of what? And how can it be, when no one else can hear it?

 Soulprint by Megan Miranda
Seventeen-year-old Alina Chase has spent her entire life imprisoned on a secluded island -- not for a crime she committed in this lifetime, but one done by her past self. Her very soul is like a fingerprint, carried from one life to the next -- and Alina is sick of being guilty. Aided by three teens with their own ulterior motives, Alina manages to escape. Although she's not sure she can trust any of them, she soon finds herself drawn to Cameron, the most enigmatic and alluring of the trio. But when she uncovers clues from her past life, secrets begin to unravel, and Alina must figure out whether she's more than the soul she inherited, or if she's fated to repeat history.

Breaking Creed by Alex Kava
Once again, Alex Kava has proven herself as a seasoned author with this latest novel. It is a fast paced and educational look at how dogs are trained and work for law enforcement. A Colombian connection, a DC connection, and a Florida connection meet head on and FBI agent Maggie O'Dell works with Ryder Creed and his team of dogs to solve a terrible crime spree. Breaking Creed is the first, I hope, of many books to feature Creed and his team of trained dogs.

 Before He Finds Her by Michael Kardos
This fast paced thriller takes you on a wild ride, filled with ups and downs, as the young protagonist searches for the father who murdered her mother 15 years ago. Just when I thought this story was becoming predictable, it would change course. Totally unexpected twists throughout kept me guessing, and its stunning ending really was a surprise!!
