The Perfect Child by Lucinda Berry

 A small child is found wandering and her mother is found dead.  The girl has been the victim of severe physical abuse.  After bonding with her in the hospital, a kindly doctor and his nurse wife take in the girl as a foster child, and ultimately adopt her.  They get more than they bargained for.

Very engaging, but lose a star for animal abuse.

4 stars.

The House in the Pines by Ana Reyes

 Maya watches her best friend drop dead as she's sitting across a table from her boyfriend.  It seems like a fluke, until seven years later when she sees a video of another woman die while sitting across from yet another woman.

The reveal was a bit of a stretch.

3 stars.
