A gripping novel about love - loss and family secrets
A gripping novel about love - loss and family secrets

Review:Here is a weird review. I am about 30% into this book. I think I will finish it. BUT, this confirms my belief...There is NOTHING so bad in life that you cannot talk about it. Too bad for the main character who you know from the beginning was not allowed to do that. I give it 3 stars because it would not be fair to give it 5 or 1. I have not finished it. Read more

The House on Foster Hill

Review:Really enjoyed this book. I read it on a 5 hour flight and couldn't put it down. I seriously loved finding a book that was well written, but was also clean enough for my 13 yr old to read it as she also likes mystery type books. It's hard to find mystery/murder/thriller books that are free of sex/language. I will be following this author and reading more of her books for sure! Read more

A Riveting Psychological Thriller about the Perfect Marriage

Review:I began reading this one night and was hooked right away. I love the way the author narrates the story through the husband. All his thoughts are known as he thinks, speaks, and we are left wondering if his wife is thinking what her husband thinks she's thinking. A page turner for sure. One of the most interesting and entertaining books I've read in a very long time. If you like psychological thrillers, don't miss this one. Read more

Review:I must first confess, that I have never read Jane Austen's Persuasion. When I realized the novel was based on this well loved novel I was excited to give it a go. But when I saw some negative reviews for this book I was nervous to pick it up. However, maybe because I had never read Jane's original novel, I really loved this book! I thought it was delightful and heartwarming. The characters felt realistic and I was invested in Anne's story. I can understand that some may not like this sort ... Read more

DEATH Deluxe Edition

Review:Neil Gaiman, Death: The High Cost of Living (Vertigo, 1994)

I had a really odd "I'm old" moment when reading this, and seeing Tori Amos' bio listing Under the Pink as a not-yet-completed album to be released early in the next year. Whoa.

Death became, early on, such a popular character in the Sandman books that she got the first spinoff comic. Two collections of it exist; this is the first. It's a minor, but charming, piece of work from camp Gaiman-and-co. One day every century, De... Read more
