By: JOHN SANFORD
Fiction

Once again, John Sanford has put together a daunting novel that is fresher than ever. The Prey series has been a bestseller for years now and in Phantom Prey, Lucas Davenport is facing one of his most disturbing cases yet.

A wealthy, widowed woman comes home to find a gruesome blood bath in her house, but no body and her Goth daughter missing. Police put on a search and can’t find the girl. And when a second Goth is found slashed, the widow is terribly horrified that something happened to her little girl.

The widow seeks the help of a high-ranking police official, but Lucas is already reluctantly on the case. A third Goth is slashed and the series of killings makes him work harder, but something is just not adding up for him. A ruthless killer is hiding in plain sight. Who is it? And where do they go when they vanish?

The suspense-filled novel reaches into the depth of its characters and truly brings out the brilliance of Sanford’s writing. The action is fast paced and keeps readers fascinated by the motives, exciting sequence, and plot of the book.

By: Barbara Walters
Non-Fiction

By far, Barbara Walters’ 45-year career in television has been amazing. In her first book, Audition, Walters spins tales of her personal life, interviews, memories and more in an honest and inspiring style.

The journalist shares her story of growing up with a very successful father, a mentally challenged sister, and several relationships that proved to her the best and worst times of making it to stardom. She is candid about things like her midlife affairs and a marriage to Edward Brooke, the first African-American elected to the US Senate, her daughter’s troubled life and her constant strife in a male-dominated industry.

HUNGRY GIRL: RECIPES AND SURVIVAL STRATEGIES FOR GUILT-FREE EATING IN THE REAL WORLD
By: Lisa Lillien
Advice

Is your mantra “I’m hungry”? Well, so is author’s Lisa Lillien.

Hungry Girl is a recipe guide book designed by Lillien to achieve healthy eating with easy instructions and simple steps.

Lillien is not a nutritionist, she considers herself a “foodologist” because for so many years she’s been so obsessed with food that she learns about it, reads about it, researchers it, and even dreams about it.

You see, Lillien tried the fad diets, the low calorie this, the fat-free that and it just wasn’t working. Therefore, after so much information was accumulated, this food-lover started trying alternatives and launched a free daily e-newsletter with cuisine ideas. And eventually made all the recipes into a book.

But don’t worry because she didn’t leave out the brownies, onion rings, pizza, nachos, burgers, fudge or sweet potato pie. Lillien just found a guilt-free way to eat junk food low in fat and calories, but emphasizes that this is not a diet book.
