When two sisters travel out of town for a divorce party, one ends up missing in "The Last To See Her" by Courtney Evan Tate.
Gen is a writer who is divorcing her cheating husband. Meg, her sister, invites her on a trip to New York. When after drinks, Gen throws her ring away and goes for a walk, Meg doesn't think anything about it. But then her sister disappears. Soon, everyone is a suspect, including Meg, Gen's soon-to-be ex, and the police and a private investigator all have their eyes on everyone. But Meg has a secret and knows who Gen's ex was cheating with -- it was her. And meanwhile, Gen is being held captive somewhere…
There are many twists and turns in this thriller, and the reader won't know who to trust. Ultimately, I didn't like how Meg didn't have much remorse for her part, but the ending is satisfying.
"The Last to See Her" is published by Harlequin.

A woman going through a divorce and trying to sell her house feels like she is being watched in "The Open House" by Sam Carrington.
Amber is looking to sell the family home and move she and her sons to another area to live with her new boyfriend, Richard. But first she must sell the house. When her estate agent doesn't seem to be finding any buyers, it looks like her overbearing soon-to-be ex-mother-in-law Barbara may get her wish and she won't be moving three hours away. The agent suggests an open house, and Amber agrees. But when she thinks she sees 13 people go in and only 12 go out, she starts to feel like someone is watching her, something her boys also say. Did she just miscount? Or is something even more sinister going on?
There are so many twists in this book no one is going to see the ending coming. Just when you think you have it figured out, you don't.
