I’m not much for adult mysteries/thrillers anymore due to the typicality of them (they are all I read when I first starting reading – hello Dean Koontz), but the Archie Sheridan/Gretchen Lowell series is by far my favorite and I don’t think I could ever let it go. The sixth  book, Let Me Go, does not have a synopsis yet, but that won’t stop me from looking forward to it. I first fell for Archie’s damaged soul and Gretchen’s sadistic one by accident in the bookstore one day, and I have been hooked ever since. Chelsea Cain, for me, is one of those authors whose books you rush out to by the second they are available. Her novels are very character driven – which is hard to find in adult mystery – and I like that. I love all the characters in this series, including serial murderer Gretchen Lowell. Cain is just that good. I can’t wait.

If He Had Been With Me tells the romantic history of a teen girl and her childhood best friend leading up to his tragic car accident in which the passenger seat was occupied by another girl.

I practically gasped when I saw this cover. It’s so beautifully dark, and on par with my gritty book mood lately. The bleak blurb intrigued me. It gives us just enough information to get excited about it, and doesn’t make us feel inferior by promising we’ll love it. The promise is hidden between the lines. It’s been beautifully presented and I just can’t wait; I’m so excited for it.
