Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf unread.  If you are anything like me, you might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks. Hosted by Carole’s Random Life

William Wooler is a family man, on the surface. But he’s been having an affair, an affair that ended horribly this afternoon at a motel up the road. So when he returns to his house, devastated and angry, to find his difficult nine-year-old daughter Avery unexpectedly home from school, William loses his temper.

Hours later, Avery’s family declare her missing.

Suddenly Stanhope doesn’t feel so safe. And William isn’t the only one on his street who’s hiding a lie. As witnesses come forward with information that may or may not be true, Avery’s neighbours become increasingly unhinged.

Who took Avery Wooler?

Why haven’t I read this yet?

Well, I have three bookcases full of books I have not read yet. Plus a growing TBR list on Goodreads. I can read fast but not that fast 😂 As I add books from the backlog I am going to move them up on my TBR list, or to a specific shelf on my bookcase.

One night. That’s all it took to turn my life into a crime scene.

Three lives were lost—and somehow, in the wreckage, the blame landed on me. His friends looked at me like I was a confession. My best friend stared like I was the reason the world went dark. Everyone I loved—gone in the same breath.

BLURB
HOLDEN:
I was raised on a leash.
Not metaphorically or poetically…
An actual fucking collar around my throat, bolted to the concrete beside Mistress’s bed.
I learned early on that obedience tasted better than starvation and blood could be washed away, where broken bones couldn’t be.
At night I was freed from my chains…
sent as her prized dog to hunt for her next bitch.
My job was
Find them, break them, sell them.
Until him…
He thought he was hunting a monster.
He didn’t realize I was leading him straight into my cage.

HOLLIS:
I didn’t become a cop to let red tape stop me.
My boyfriend has been missing for months and this bureaucratic bullshit was not going to stand.
I knew it was a trap the moment I saw breadcrumbs, but I can’t stop myself from diving into the dark world I’ve found myself in.
He was ruthless, trying to break me, but I wouldn’t shatter like the others.
I will take him down with me.
Despite how hard I fight. I am losing who I am.
And as the pieces fall.
They are creating a new puzzle.
Who we are together.
