No One Else Can Have You by Kathleen Hale

A book review by Madeline Soucie

    

Friendship, Wisconsin, is a small town, population now 688. Everyone knows everyone else, no one locks their doors at night, and people are always smiling. Even the police cars have smiley faces on them. In the town of Friendship, there aren't many problems besides missing pets until high school student Ruth Fried turns up dead in a cornfield.

    

Since the police are convinced they have the case closed and the suspect locked up, best friend Kippy Bushman takes it upon herself to find her friend's real killer. The only problem is in a town this small, everyone seems innocent, even the killer.

Death Sworn by Leah Cypess

A book review by Madeline Soucie


Ileni used to be one of the most powerful sorceresses of her age. Now she is
slowly losing her magic, her status, her life, and her home.  Ileni is forced into exile and must teach magic to assassins hidden in the mountains.

She is sent, and expected never to return, to follow the fate of her successors, both of whom were killed within weeks of each other. Ileni is determined to find the truth behind their deaths before she follows their fate. This may not be easy if the mystery doesn't want to be uncovered and her only friend and ally can only protect her so much.

Read more about how Ileni will risk everything in Death Sworn.
