I am currently reading Divine Evil by Nora Roberts. It was originally published in 1992 but I've never read this particular book. It's really good. It's also quite creepy in places so it's been a great read for October. I'll probably finish it tonight and I highly recommend it if you're in the mood for something creepy this Halloween season.
Here's a description of the book:
A decade ago, sculptor Clare Kimball fled Emmitsboro, Maryland, to take the art world by storm. Now she’s celebrated as the artist of her generation. But no amount of success can eclipse the nightmares that haunt her—or the memories of her father’s suicide. Just as her star is shining brighter than ever, Clare leaves it all behind to face her demons.
Emmitsboro sheriff Cameron Rafferty loved Clare from afar all through high school. Now that she’s back, they form a bond that grows stronger each day—fueled by an attraction that’s been simmering for years. But Clare’s past soon rises up with a vengeance, rocking the town with a sinister murder that is clearly linked to her return. As an investigation gets under way, Clare and Cameron will learn that evil can linger anywhere—even in those you love and trust the most. But it’s a discovery that may come too late to save them.
The In Death series of books by J.D. Robb is my favorite series. Her latest is out (technically tomorrow) and this is the book I am going to read next. I LOVE this series and feel emotionally invested in the characters Robb has created. This is the 46th book in the series and to me it still feels fresh and dynamic and as if there is still a lot of story t tell. I can't wait to dive into the world of this book. 
I am currently reading Diary of an Accidental Wallflower by Jennifer McQuiston who is a newly discovered author for me. I am loving this book so very much. It's well-written and quite funny. In face, I laughed so hard at part of the book this book this afternoon that I actually snorted. I then had to call my husband and share the scene in the book with him because I knew he'd find it funny, as well. He did and we both learned a new word in the process. I'm thrilled that this is the first book in a trilogy. I will definitely be reading the next two books.
