New Book Highlights:
The Intruder by Freida McFadden (thriller)
During a hurricane, Casey must weather the storm in her cabin, which is not built for such an event. When she discovers a young woman outside her kitchen window, covered in blood and clutching a knife, Casey would rather not take her in. But as the night progresses and the girl refuses to explain where she came from or drop the knife, things take a turn for the worse. This girl has a dark secret, and it’s one she’ll kill to keep.
Twice by Mitch Albom (romance)
When he is eight, Alfie Logan discovers the magical ability to get a second chance at anything. However, he must accept the outcome the second time.
