New Adult Fiction: Wednesday, July 3

what are you going to do on a hot day like today? One option is to find a cool corner somewhere and read. If you’re looking for a book, CD, movie, or other material for your leisure time, the Macedon Public Library can help! Stop by and pick up something interesting to keep you engaged. We will continue to offer “Grab and Go” services for those who prefer to place their books on hold online and then pick them up in the cabinet inside the library.

Here are a few of the new books that have arrived at the library recently. We invite you to check them out!

Pitch Dark

All Mark Redmond asks is that he be left alone to homeschool his 12-year-old daughter, Cady. Bush pilot Josie Jonson, though hesitant to violate the trust of her prized builder, eventually agrees to fly Maine game warden Mike Bowditch to the secluded pond in an attempt to protect Redmond and Cady. But hours after landing, the trip takes a dark turn when they witness a horrific murder and are taken captive. Freeing himself, Mike is forced to set off through the impenetrable Maine forest towards Canada, alone and unarmed in pursuit of a mysterious fugitive. The killer possesses skills surpassing his own, and Bowditch can’t tell if he is the cat or the mouse in this dangerous game.

While the Town Slept

Wyoming Territory, 1873. Tim Colter and his trusted guide, mountain man Jed Reno, are on the trail of a vicious gang of train robbers when they happen upon a bloody and shocking scene. Lying on the ground, barely breathing, a Secret Service agent has been left for dead in the wake of a brutal ambush. His final words: “President Grant . . . assassination . . . Dugan . . . trust nobody.” Dugan is a former Confederate guerilla who leads a notorious gang of cutthroats. Colter and Reno are determined to stop the assassins by any means possible. But to get there, they’ll have to bust a lady outlaw out of prison then convince her to take them to Dugan’s hideout.

A is for Amish

Siblings Martin, Kelsey, Beth, and Jonny are as different as can be, but they have one thing in common. They’re all longing to reinvent their lives. Raised by their divorced lapsed Amish father and English mother, they only knew real stability and a sense of family when visiting their Old Order grandparents, Josiah and Sylvia Schrock, in peaceful Holmes County, Ohio. Now the four want to try living with them and joining their faith—much to the Schrocks’ surprise. Yet given time and patience—and adhering to their grandparents’ unexpectedly challenging rules—the whole family might just find what they’re looking for.
