He struggles with addiction, but she tells herself that he’s in control. And she almost believes it. Until the night that Micah doesn’t come home.

Rachel’s terrified—and she can’t help but feel responsible. She should have listened when Micah tried to confide in her. And she only feels more guilt when she receives an anonymous note telling her that Micah is nearby and in danger.

Two books this week that I'm really looking forward to reading. I always like when I find two or more books that couldn't be more different from one another for my weekly WoW's and this week I managed to do just that. What are your thoughts on one or both of these titles that I picked for this week?
