Connor Jennings has always aimed higher.
He wasn’t meant to rot in that dying western Pennsylvania town or settle for a middling management job and a mortgage he can barely afford. He’s got a wife, two daughters, and a future he’s determined to secure, no matter the cost.
The past? That was another life. The reckless kid he used to be, the mistakes he buried right after high school? None of that matters now. He’s not that person. Not anymore.
But when someone from that buried life suddenly reappears, Connor’s carefully built world begins to crack. Because what he left behind didn’t stay buried.
And this time, it’s coming back for him.
They say a different version of you exists in the mind of everyone you meet. To some, you’re the sweetest, friendliest person in the world. To others, you’re that quiet soul who rarely makes a peep.
And to a few, you’re a villain.
Carey Mitchell has one more version of herself out there. One that makes someone want her dead.
First, though, they want to ruin her life by framing her for the murders of people close to her. To the police, Carey is the only link between the victims. She’s an obvious suspect, no matter how much she claims to know nothing about who’s to blame.
The moment is coming when Carey will find out who the killer is. Will the police solve the crimes first, or will she come face-to-face with the person who wants her dead?
How well do you know the people who live around you?
From the outside, Park Circle seems like the perfect suburban cul-de-sac, complete with manicured green lawns, well-kept homes, and wonderful neighbors. Each month, there’s a block party so everyone can be friendly with one another.
It looks like the perfect place to live.
Behind the façades of those beautiful homes lurk secrets, though. Some are small, minor infractions easily forgiven, but others are far worse.
Life in suburbia relies on believing everyone in the neighborhood is good. The neighbors of Park Circle are about to find out that’s not true because a killer has moved in.
And if they aren’t careful, someone’s going to end up dead.
Note: The Neighbor was previously published as The Killer Next Door.
All you’ve ever wanted is yours for the taking. All you have to do is believe.
When Lara Simpson’s sister goes missing, the only clue to her whereabouts is a pamphlet in Rina’s apartment about a new self-help group in town, The Golden Light. Convinced they will lead her to Rina, Lara poses as a new member seeking guidance.
The charismatic leader of the group, a man named Micah who promises enlightenment, seems to care about his followers. However, Lara suspects that the real purpose of The Golden Light isn’t helping people at all, but something far more insidious.

Because once you join The Golden Light, you’re a member forever.
