Someone is trying to kill Beth--and she knows his name. But coming up with the proof to convict an upstandng man--in the community's eyes--is another thing. The secret to freeing children's lives is in her hands--if she can overcome her past and trust God.
Our monthly SE book club book for June. If you are not participating you're missing out. We've read many different genres and authors. This James Patterson has no real mystery, but some interesting twists and turns. Definitely a great love story and something a little different from a "normal" James Patterson novel. Try it--you'll like it!
The Enchantment Emporium is a quick read as you get so caught up in the story that it is over before you know it and leaves you wanting to know more.
Stained Cotton by Quentin Carter. This book is a real page turner. Once you start you won't want to put it down!! It is one of the best books I have ever read and I look forward to reading all of his books!!
If you enjoy murder mysteries and Roman history then you'll surely be attracted to this book. The main character Falco and his wife are on vacation in Alexandria, Egypt (around A.D. 72). The Head Librarian of the ultimate Library of its time is murdered mysteriously and Falco is picked to solve it. Ms. Davis' insights, attention to detail, with some humor, all mix into a great read!
I grew up in a household that was a little obsessed with Halloween. And who could blame my stepfather? He was born on the day where (supposedly) the veil between the world of the living and the dead disappear. So I was brought up with Dracula. And even Rockula. My mother made me read Bram Stoker's Dracula before I went to see the movie. Ditto for Interview with the Vampire. So when the latest vampire craze came around, I had already read Twilight and Undead and Unappreciated as well as some of Laurell K. Hamilton's earlier books. But recently I've turned my attentions to werewolves. There are plenty of werewolves in vampire stories, including Sookie Stackhouse and the Undead and Unwed series (Mary Janice Davidson has written some stand alone werewolve stories elsewhere), but stories that are chiefly about werewolves are more id than superego, more animalistic than unnatural, and I like that sort of unformed sentimentality.
Innocent In Death: Nora Roberts might write an intriguing romance novel, however as T.D. Robb she writes a compelling series set in 2060. Character Eve Dallas is a New York cop that leads you through murder investigations while balancing marriage, high society, publicity and competition with such ease that you are reading past midnight to reach the suspenseful conclusion. I can't wait to read the next adventure of Lt. Eve Dallas.
The first in an ongoing series of reviews by our patrons.
