GENRE: Mystery/Thriller/Romance I really enjoyed The Killing Tide(paid link) and the best way to explain what it is like is to relate it to a guilty pleasure TV show.

GENRE: Realistic Fiction To Live(paid link) is an extremely fast read and doesn’t contain as much depth as I was hoping after reading other reviews.
