A matter of malice / by King, Thomas,1943-author.;
"The crew of a true-crime reality TV show, Malice Aforethought, shows up in Chinook to do an episode about the death of Trudy Samuels. Trudy's death had originally been ruled accidental, but with ratings in mind, one of the producers, Nina Maslow, wants to prove it was murder. And she wants Thumps to help. Thumps is reluctant to get involved until Nina dies in the exact same place and in the exact same way as Trudy. Are the two deaths related? Or are there two murderers on the loose in Chinook? Thumps uses Nina's Malice Aforethought files to try to fit the pieces of the puzzle together, and in the process discovers that she had already started work on another case close to Thumps' heart: the Obsidian murders." -- Amazon.ca.

The ballad of songbirds and snakes / by Collins, Suzanne.;
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute. The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined, every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favor or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute, and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes.LSC

A game of lies / by Mackintosh, Clare,author.;
"Stranded in the Welsh mountains, seven reality show contestants have no idea what they've signed up for. Each of these strangers has a secret.

Every little piece of me / by Jones, Amy,author.;
Ava Hart is the most reluctant cast member of a reality TV show based on her big-city family's (mostly staged) efforts to run a B&B in small-town Nova Scotia. All families have their problems, but Ava has seen her family's every up and down broadcast on national television. Mags Kovach is the charismatic lead singer of a Halifax rock band on brink of becoming the Next Big Thing. For years, she's managed to contain her demons and navigate her way through the uglier aspects of being a woman in the music world. But after a devastating loss, she turns her anger on the only person she can: herself. As their public missteps and private tragedies set social media and tabloid headlines on fire, it will be the unexpected friendship between Ava and Mags that will change their lives. They will push back against the roles they've been forced to play, and take back control of something they thought they'd lost forever--the right to their own stories.
