Death at SeaWorld: Shamu and the Dark Side of Killer Whales in Captivity, David Kirby [library book, non-fiction, marine mammals]. (After reading this book, I can come to only one conclusion: There are at least two species [humans and orcas] that should never be in captivity under any circumstances. I know I will not visit SeaWorld again.) 

Cold Fury, T.M. Goeglein [library book, young adult, thriller]. (This is a very peculiar book. It's a combination of a mob daughter on the run [with some nifty details about Al Capone and the Chicago mob] mixed with a psychic power said daughter has that everyone wants. The two genres don't mix very well. I don't think I'll be reading the sequel.)
