Orphan X by Gregg Hurwitz - The Nowhere Man can help you when no one else can. But now he's in need of help himself. Contacted by two people for help at the same time, he's pretty sure one is a setup. But how to tell? Evan Smoak was originally trained as a covert assassin, buried deep behind government intel. Now he's on his own in a bad situation getting worse. This is the first in the series and I'm anxious for the next one. PG13 at least on the violence level.

The Black Star of Kingston by S.D.Smith - a prequel to The Green Ember. The rabbit community, led by King Whitsun, are hopeful they've found a safe place to rebuild. But on a journey to find coal, they find terror coming out of the mountains. Loyalty, bravery, obedience and lots of other good traits in a children's book. With lots of action, too.
3.5 stars

The Girl in the Ice by Robert Bryndza - it's possible I was not in the right mood to read this. DCI Erika Foster is thrown into the beginning of a murder case when she should probably not be working at all. She's still recovering from the death of her husband in a botched police raid she led. An influential man's daughter is found murdered and the investigation is hampered by politics. I don't like books where the police fight among themselves and the top officers are unjust. Very crude sex stuff. I won't be reading anymore of this series and I'm very much in the minority at Goodreads.
