The Boy is Back by Meg Cabot

 The Boy is Back by Meg Cabot, 368 pages

In this brand new stand alone novel for adult readers, a scandal brings celebrity golfer Reed back home to the small town, the crazy family, and first love he once left behind. Reed Stewart thought he'd left all his small-town troubles-including a broken heart-behind when he ditched tiny Bloomville, Indiana, a decade ago to get rich on the pro golf circuit. Then one tiny post on the Internet causes all of those troubles to return with a vengeance.

Becky Flowers loves her small-town life, her small-town business, and especially the small-town wedding she's planning. She hasn't thought about her no good high school ex,Reed Stewart, in years. Until suddenly-thanks to a news story that goes viral on every gossip site on the Internet-Reed comes bursting back into her lifelike an Indiana summer twister.

Now everything Becky and Reed thought they knew about themselves (and one another) has been turned upside down, and they - and possibly the entire town of Bloomville - will never be the same, all because: The Boy is Back.
 

Told completely in e-mails, text messages, and journal entries like The Boy Next Door and Boy Meets Girl, The Boy Is Back is guaranteed to entertain readers while at the same time reminding them of the true meaning of the words "family values." 

**I really enjoyed reading this non-traditional format of emails, texts, and journal entries. Made for a super fast read and was a really good book!

Suze Simon - all grown up and engaged to her once-ghostly soulmate - faces a vengeful spirit and an old enemy bent on ending Suze's wedded bliss before it begins.
You can take the boy out of the darkness.But you can't take the darkness out of the boy.
All Susannah Simon wants is to make a good impression at her first job since graduating from college (and since becoming engaged to Dr. Jesse de Silva).
But when she's hired as a guidance counselor at her alma mater, she stumbles across a decade-old murder, and soon ancient history isn't all that's coming back to haunt her. Old ghosts as well as new ones are coming out of the woodwork, some to test her, some to vex her, and it isn't only because she's a mediator, gifted with second sight.
From a sophomore haunted by the murderous specter of a child, to ghosts of a very different kind - including Paul Slater, Suze's ex, who shows up to make a bargain Suze is certain must have come from the Devil himself - Suze isn't sure she'll make it through the semester, let alone to her wedding night.
Suze is used to striking first and asking questions later. But what happens when ghosts from her past - including one she found nearly impossible to resist - strike first?
What happens when old ghosts come back to haunt you?
If you're a mediator, you might have to kick a little ass.

Ever since a walk home on a particularly stormy day, Jessica Mastriani has had an ability like no other. She became known worldwide as Lightning Girl—a psychic who could find the location of anyone, dead or alive.

But her work for them has taken a terrible toll, and Jess resurfaces months later a shadow of her former self, her powers gone, Lightning Girl no more. Her only hope is starting over in a new place, a big city where nobody knows her. It's only when Rob Wilkins unexpectedly shows up on her doorstep that she's forced to face her past. Rob, all the way from back home, needs her help. But how can Jess, her powers gone, find anyone, let alone the sister of a man she once loved . . . when she can't even find herself?

An amazing power that can be used for good...or for evil.

Awaken by Meg Cabot

Awaken by Meg Cabot- 343 pgs.

Pierce Oliviera has been chosen by John Hayden, AKA Sorter of the Dead in the Underworld, to be his consort.  She has given up her normal life to live in the Underworld with John.  It's not smooth sailing, though.  The Furies are not happy that a human is living with the dead and they won't stop until they have taken out Pierce.  It's up to Pierce and John to defeat the Furies and save their relationship.

This is the final book in the Abandon trilogy, which was a take on on the Hades/Persephone myth.  The series started out strong, but ended on kind of a low point.  It felt like it took a long time to get to the climax and, even then, it was kind of a let down.  It had a lot of promise, but failed to deliver.
