Review:I did not grow up in Milwaukee but have lived most of my adult live near Milwaukee. I loved the humor and the characters. It is really refreshing to see things through the eyes of a ten year old. I look forward to reading more books by Lesley Kagen. Read more

Review:After her mother's death, Emily Benedict moves in with her grandfather in the small town where her mother grew up. It doesn't take her long to realize the Mullaby is no ordinary town; the wallpaper in her room changes according to her mood, and strange lights can be seen in her backyard. The other inhabitants of the town are also far from ordinary. Julia bakes cakes that float sparkles and aromas through the air, and the Coffey family refuses to go out at night. The mysterious Coffeys have a ... Read more

Review:Not at all what I expected. Very contrived and found myself skipping over huge sections just to get the end. It's actually insulting to read about the subject matter trivialized. There are so many other books to read that have substance and treat the subject with the dignity it deserves. Read more

Review:Wow I loved this so much! It really struck an emotional chord with me. These are broken and bruised characters who have lived hard, but you can't help but love. Even through all their mistakes and misgivings. It hits home because we always say that we are not our past, but the past is so hard to overcome - especially the choices made as young adults. It's why it is painful to be around old friends and family if you have a past you aren't proud of. Just being in their proximity makes you feel lik... Read more

Review:I think, as a parent, that all parents imagine what we would do if one of our children disappeared. Taken, lost...the nightmare and tragedy would be overwhelming.

Author Ross has written a book that roused all kinds of emotions in me. I was sick to my stomach, I cried - this story was so affecting.

The book is written in short chapters, each written from the point-of-view of different characters in the book. The action moves quickly and the emotions brought out are realistic and vo... Read more

Review:I've enjoyed each of Juliette Fay's novels so I pre-ordered the Tumbling Turner Sisters. I really loved Fay's delightful departure into historical fiction. The characters, their relationships and transformations, and the setting all work together to make an excellent page turner. I'd highly recommend it for an engaging summer read or gift. Read more

Review:I bought this expecting just another mediocre fantasy novel, but it suprised me in the best way possible. The characters were interesting & well developed. The book ended with enough closure to not make me mad, but made me interested in what happened next. I could hardly put the book down & dreamt about it when I was reading it! I can't wait for the 4th to come out to find out what happens next. Seriously worth a read. Read more

Review:I wish I could get my money back! This book was extremely vulgar for no apparent reason. It was as if the author thought the vulgarity could make up for his extremely bad writing. Read at your own peril. Read more

Review:I am a picky reader, and there are so many poorly written books available through Kindle Unlimited that I have learned to keep my expectations low. Child of the Daystar bucked the trend...interesting characters, enough complexity, a good story arc, and solid editing. Looking forward to reading the next! Read more

Review:I love this series.

If you like fantasy books (Lord of the Rings, The Wheel of Time, the Mistborn Trilogy, etc), I would strongly recommend reading this series. It has a very interesting (and different) system of magic, is well written and edited, and has a plot that kept me engaged throughout. I hate writing spoilers, so I will leave my comment at that.

I'm excited for the final two books in the series. Read more
