The Testament by Mark P Dunn

Summary by Goodreads:
On the surface, it looks like Paul Callahan has it all. The family, the house, the job. But nothing is ever as perfect as it seems, and when a college friend contacts Paul out of the blue, he finds himself reliving his first year of college, when everything went so right, and then so very wrong.

Testament is a story of friendship and love and of the terrible evil people are capable of doing to one another. It is the story of a man doing his best to move forward, but struggling with an emotional anchor latched firmly in the past. But more than anything, it is a story about redemption and the unfathomable workings of the human heart.

Don’t Remember by Rich Silvers

Summary By NetGalley:
How much will Julian sacrifice to find the truth?

As he approaches the corner of Wendt and Brewster, Julian Barnes makes a bet with fate: if he can drive through the intersection without stopping, it will be a sign that he won’t lose Julia, the woman he loves.
But instead Julian wakes up in a hospital, his body shattered from a car accident he can’t remember. The prominent neurosurgeon who broadsided him swears his light was green. An eyewitness disagrees. A woman is dead, and the surgeon is accused of manslaughter.
A stranger warns Julian that if his memory returns and he tells anyone what really happened, Julia will die, too.
What don’t they want him to remember? Julian knows he got in the car an hour before the accident, on his way to see Julia. But then…nothing.
Why was he driving away from Julia’s apartment when the car hit him?
What did he see just before the impact?
Julian bears the weight of not knowing. His quest will take him to places he never expected, and to stories he never wanted to hear.

The Fifth Petal By Brunonia Barry

Summary By Goodreads:
Salem’s chief of police, John Rafferty, now married to gifted lace reader Towner Whitney, investigates a 25-year-old triple homicide dubbed “The Goddess Murders,” in which three young women, all descended from accused Salem witches, were slashed one Halloween night. Aided by Callie Cahill, the daughter of one of the victims who has returned to town, Rafferty begins to uncover a dark chapter in Salem’s past. Callie, who has always been gifted with premonitions, begins to struggle with visions she doesn’t quite understand and an attraction to a man who has unknown connections to her mother’s murder. Neither believes that the main suspect, Rose Whelan, respected local historian and sometime-aunt to Callie, is guilty of murder or witchcraft. But exonerating Rose might mean crossing paths with a dangerous force. Were the women victims of an all-too-human vengeance, or was the devil raised in Salem that night? And if they cannot discover what truly happened, will evil rise again?

Darkroom By Mary Maddox

Summary By NetGalley:

Talented but unstable photographer Day Randall has been living rent-free in Kelly Durrell's Colorado condo for eight months. Day needs someone to keep an eye on her. Kelly needs someone to draw her out of her stable but unspectacular life. The arrangement works for both of them.

Then Kelly comes home one day to find Day gone. There's no note, no phone call. Day's car is parked out front, but her room is empty and spotless.

No one seems to care. The police certainly aren't interested in a missing bipolar artist, but Kelly knows Day wouldn't just leave.

Alone, Kelly traces Day's last steps through shadowy back rooms of Boulder nightclubs and to a remote mountain estate, where the wealthy protect themselves behind electric fences and armed guards. Along the way, she confronts powerful people who will do anything to protect the secrets hidden in Day's enigmatic photographs.

If she trusts the wrong person, Kelly will be the next to disappear.
