Unwholly by Neal Shusterman - #2 in the Unwind Trilogy. I had a hard time getting into this book.

I finally got into the story about half way through.

The Sniper's Wife by Archer Mayor - the 13th in the series and somewhat of a departure. The main character isn't Joe Gunther, although he is in the book. And it takes place in New York city instead of Vermont.

However, I really enjoyed this book and the writing. Trying to decide if I want to read a biography of Hadley Hemingway now.
