New Adult Fiction: Monday, August 5

Looking for a good read this week? 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!

The Wilds

Since the dark events that scarred her childhood, Kier Templer escaped her hometown to live life on the road. She and her twin have never lost contact until, on a trip to a Portuguese national park, Kier vanishes without a trace. Detective Elin Warner arrives in the same park ready to immerse herself in its vast wilderness — only to hear about Kier’s disappearance, and discover a disturbing map she left behind. Elin must untangle the clues to find out what really happened to Kier.

The Conditions of Unconditional Love

In this latest movement in the symphony of her life, Isabel Dalhousie is faced with novel challenges, each of which tests her resolution to do the right thing. Dawn, a nurse in an infectious diseases ward, is let down by her lover and needs a place to live. And then there is the pompous and slippery Professor Robert Lettuce. He is planning a prestigious conference, and involves Isabel in it. Isabel is suspicious. Other intriguing problems abound.

Shades of Mercy

Porter Beck is the sheriff in the high desert of Nevada. A childhood friend is targeted by a hacked military drone. Beck’s investigation leads him to Mercy Vaughn, the one known hacker in the area. The problem is that she’s a teenager, locked up with no computer access at the secure juvenile detention center. But there’s something about Mercy that doesn’t sit quite right with Beck. When Mercy disappears, Beck understands that she’s in danger and time is running out for all of them.
