"Some
Enchanted Evening" by Alice Alfonsi
Alice Alfonsi's "Some Enchanted Evening" is a modern-day fairy tale
with a twist. Fired from her job and evicted from her apartment, Mary Jane
Magorski wonders what else could go
wrong on her 25th birthday. All of a sudden something goes very
right. From a lone birthday present--a mysterious perfume bottle--Sinjin
Avery appears. A genie tricked into the bottle some 200 years before, Sinjin
must now fight the evil Jinn Asaf to win his freedom and guarantee a future
with his newfound love, Mary.
"Now
You See Her" by Linda Howard: Paris Sweeney, who calls herself
Sweeney, is living a pared-down existence devoted to painting when she
begins to see ghosts. Worse, she starts painting disturbing images while
sleepwalking, then wakes with an unnatural, bone-deep chill that can only
be dispelled by direct body contact with the unexpected new man in her
life--Richard Worth, the soon-to-be ex-husband of the gallery owner who
sells Sweeney's work. Then Sweeney realizes she's painting the picture
of a murder victim, just before the actual crime takes place. Can she stop
the killing before it happens? And if not, is she destined to become either
the prime suspect or the murderer's next victim? Howard keeps the suspense
streamlined and straightforward, focusing equally on the relationship between
the sympathetic Sweeney, whose dreadful growing-up years forced her to
become more independent than is good for her, and Richard, whose drive
to leave his old life behind matches his determination to make Sweeney
part of his future. A sensual, page-turning diversion that's sure to win
the author new fans.
