"And as Dracoon searched for his paperwork, Bruce reached for the document showing Madeleine's profile. He quietly rolled it up and tucked it into the inner pocket of his jacket. He needed to get to the bottom of this girl's mysteries; he needed to get all the information he could. And he needed to do it without the police looking over his shoulder." p 131

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Each week we will post a new Top Ten list  that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.

This week's topic is: Top Ten New-To-Me Authors I Read In 2017

*in no particular order

10. TEMPLE WEST--I finally read Temple's book which I had in my pile since it released! It was a fun read! I never tire of vampire stories!

9. CORA CARMACK--naturally I knew of Cora's books but they never really drew out any interest for me since they were nearly all contemporary books. So I dove into this one slightly hesitant but ended up really enjoying it!

8. S.J. KINCAID--I had read tons of rave reviews for The Diabolic so I eventually succumbed to the non-pressuring peer pressure to read it! Really enjoyed it despite a few hang-ups!

7. NICOLE CASTROMAN--I bought her first book when it released but did not get around to reading it until this year! Really enjoyed it and cannot wait to see where she will take the story next! If memory serves, there was too much going on in the second book for that to be The End! Yet Goodreads offers no answers! Eek!

6. G.S. PRENDERGAST--I went into this one slightly hesitant and slightly excited! Reviews were pretty much 50/50 on it. I actually really really enjoyed it! The pacing is slower, yes, but for some reason I was still able to really get into it!

5. STEPHANIE PERKINS--I was slightly hesitant with this one. I wasn't sure how a contemporary author would tackle a thriller. I really liked it in the end. Definitely creepy even if the bad guy is revealed early on!

4. CRYSTAL CESTARI--another book I happened to win last year and I was really intrigued with it! Despite it being called a "magical realism" type book, I found it to be more of a paranormal-ish type! There's witches, vampires, psychics and oh so much more! It was a delightful little read and I can't wait for more!

3. EILEEN COOK--ironically, I did already have her thriller from last year in my TBR, but I have yet to read it. Then I got to review this one early and ended up liking it very much as well! Eager to read that first book now and hopefully more thrillers from her!

2. JULIE C. DAO--true, she's more likely considered a debut author for 2017 but that's still new to me! Lol! I really enjoyed this one and so can't wait for Julie to continue the story with a different character!

1. JENNIFER DONNELLY--so I had another debut author in this slot originally so I decided to change it to a non-debut! Lol! This was my first book by Donnelly and let's face it, I picked this one up because it's Beauty and the Beast AND it's about being sucked into the world of books!! It was pretty awesome!
