Playing Dead by Allison Brennan

 This was a really great book. Moved very fast. Very hard to put down. 

Claire O'Brien is a private investigator and is working on a arson case for the company she works for. When she was fourteen her mother and the guy she was sleeping with were shot in her bed. Her father, Tom was the one they were looking at. He went to trial and was sentenced to death. Claire always believed he did it. Then, one day a young guy came knocking on her door to tell her that he may not be guilty. 

Mitch Bianchi is a FBI Agent and has been seeing Claire for awhile. He's been wondering if she's heard from her father. Partly because he escaped from prison. It's good if she was to talk to him about anything and right now she's not speaking to much. 

Mitch knows that he's got feelings for her and has been trying to keep from making love to her. It's very hard on him.

There is an assassin that had killed her mom and the guy she was with. He also wants Claire very badly. But, for him he needs to control himself. He don't want to hurt her, so he goes after other girls and ladies. Its the only way he can be around her for now. 

Claire ends up seeing her father and he tells her he's not guilty. At first she fights him. He explains that there was a young guy looking into it. He then, ended up disappearing. Claire decides to look into it for herself. She's good at what she does. She's not going to be making to many friends and there are many people that will find out what she's doing. 

A judge, a congressman and a very rich guy. All have something to lose. They will do everything to keep what they have done from coming out. 

Mitch and his partner find that young guy in the river not far from a small town. What they aren't sure of is why he's there in the first place.

The school of good and evil by Soman Chainani

 This is the first book in a middle grade series. I enjoyed the fast pacing of this book. Quite gripping and pulls you in. Very easy to read. 

Sophie and Agatha are friends. Sophie would go visit Agatha at her house which was on a hill behind a graveyard. People in town would call Agatha a witch. Sophie, has high hopes of going to the school of good and evil to win herself a prince. She wanted so much to be a princess. 

When they both one night disappear and end up at the school. They both end up with a huge shock. Sophie ends up in the house of evil and Agatha ends up in the house of good. Which they both believe they are in the wrong schools. Agathia just wants to go home and take Sophie with her. But, it doesn't happen. 

Then, Sophie sees Tedros from across the room and chooses him as her prince. But, because he's not in her school he can't be. Her roommates tell her that evil girls can't have princes. It never works out. Sophie don't care. She's going to do everything she can to make sure it happens. He does see how pretty she is and notices that he's looking at her. 

Agatha, really knows that she doesn't belong. Some of the girls call her a witch. In some ways she believes she might be. She also knows that if she can go see the head master who's in a tower away from everyone else. That maybe he can help both her and Sophie get back home. 

Strange things happen between them and they don't stay friends. Sophie end up becoming evil and starts to gain witchy powers. Agatha tries to do what she can to save Sophie and all the others in the school.
