The Lifeboat by Charlotte Rogan - The Empress Alexandra sinks in the North Seas, and Grace is stuck in an overloaded lifeboat. Decisions have to be made about who lives and who dies, and some of the survivors are put on trial. A quick read, I enjoyed it very much.

White Horse by Alex Adams - A plague has wiped out most of the world population. Zoe heads to Europe to (hopefully) find the man she loves. The book switches back and forth between plague and aftermath, and the twist is a little jarring, but a good book for fans of post-apocalyptic fiction.
