A Fire Within (These Highland Hills, Book 3)

Review:I like this series and there is mystery and romance, no raunchiness!

It tends to be distracting when reading... Read more

Review:A tragic book -- would you expect anything else from David Grossman? -- and a masterpiece. Although the translator did a masterful job of translating -- occasionally substituting the jokes of this stand-up act, some familiarity with Jewish culture and Israeli life can come in handy, but the book can be fully appreciated without it.

Highway: A Post-Apocalyptic Tale of Survival

Review:It is difficult to avoid citing clichés that are so often used in reviewing books, so I won't try. This novel is definitely a page turner.

It was easy to fully visualize them walking down the highway pulling their roll aboards behind them. The surprises were always just that: surprises, realistic and believable. The plot... Read more

The Cosmic Battle of the Ages (Left Behind #11)

Never Too Late (Carolina Cousins Book #3)
Never Too Late (Carolina Cousins Book #3)

Review:It has been a very moving and educational experience to become involved with the characters in this series, as well as other of series by this author. The story line, historical and fictional, offers those of us interested in the slavery issues a wonderful way to go back and be a part of that history from the pages of this book. This is definitely a "feel good/feel bad" experience. Read more

House of Secrets
House of Secrets

Review:This story was exceptional, as I've come to expect from Tracie Peterson. The way she is able to twist several story lines into one major theme keeps the reader fully engaged. It's hard to put her books down, which is the types of stories I like best. Read more
