Fun.

Hollow Bones by Jodi Picoult

Where the Truth Lies by Rupert Holmes

 

I think Holmes is one of my favorite authors, and I find it so delightful that he wrote the pina colada song. Anyway, this was fantastic.

Fallow by Sarah Anderson

 

I mean, this is kind of an interesting concept (but -- maybe too far-fetched?). But the execution wasn't great.
