Week 39 Reviews: Kill Me Again, Kiss Me, Kill Me, Kiss Me Goodbye

From Goodreads:

I'm not who they say I am. TRUST ME.

But can she?

Reclusive novelist Aaron Westhaven, a man she's admired -- and more -- for years, has accepted Olivia Dupree's invitation to speak at a local fundraiser. But the day he's due to arrive, she gets a call summoning her to the bedside of a John Doe whose sole possession is her business card.

Can this unbelievably compelling man -- survivor of an execution-style gunshot wound -- really be the novelist the lonely Olivia has grown to think of as a near soul mate? If not, he can be in Shadow Falls for only one reason: to kill her.

Olivia, too, has secrets. And discovering the truth about the man in the hospital bed means dredging up her own past -- a past she's being hiding from for sixteen years.

From Goodreads:

She's protected him since the day he was born. Since the day the LIE BEGAN.

A long-ago act of kindness to a desperate woman changed Dr. Carrie Overton's life forever. Before disappearing, the grateful stranger had given Carrie her newborn son. When the woman is murdered, the secret becomes Carrie's alone.

She had kept both it and her son, Sam, safe for sixteen years. But now a friend of Sam's has gone missing. The police believe he's a runaway--until he's found dead. Then another teen disappears, and talk turns to that long-ago murder.

Newcomer Gabriel Cain is asking too many questions, befriending Sam, getting too close. Carrie distrusts him even as she finds herself falling for him. But Gabriel has secrets, too...

Is it time for the lying to end?

From Goodreads:

All her life, Dawn had lived in fear of the gift she'd inherited from her father—the ability to see and talk to the dead. The voices had slowly driven her father insane. And eventually, to kill. Mordecai Young had died a monster, hunted and hated. A fate that Dawn dreaded would await her, too.

But five years have passed since she's seen a ghost. She's married to the man she loves, and she and Bryan are blissfully happy.

Until the ghost of her father appears in her bedroom. Now, Dawn must not only deal with the return of her horrible gift, but she must also rely on Mordecai—the homicidal maniac—to help her. While Bryan's life hangs in the balance…
