Second Honeymoon Second Honeymoon starts out with an unsettling scene. It quickly turns to an unsettling area and ends in a page turner and you cannot wait to figure out, what happens next.....I could not put it down!

I, Michael Bennett (Michael Bennett, Book 5) Police officers shot Detective Michael Bennett arrests an infamous Mexican crime lord in a deadly chase that leaves Bennett's lifelong friend Hughie McDonough dead. From jail, the prisoner vows to rain epic violence down upon New York City-and to get revenge on Michael Bennett.

Judges murdered To escape the chaos, Bennett takes his ten kids and their beautiful nanny, Mary Catherine, on a much-needed vacation to his family's cabin near Newburgh, New York. But instead of the calm and happy town he remembers from growing up, they step into a nightmare worse than they could have ever imagined. Newburgh is an inferno of warring gangs, and there's little the police-or Bennett-can do to keep the children safe.

Target: Michael Bennett As violence overwhelms the state, Bennett is torn between protecting his hometown and saving New York City. A partner in his investigations, federal prosecutor Tara McLellan, brings him new weapons for the battle-and an attraction that endangers his relationship with Mary Catherine. A no-holds-barred, pedal-to-the-floor, action-packed novel, I, Michael Bennett is James Patterson at his most personal and most thrilling best.

Twisted (Dark Protectors) I really enjoyed finally reading about Maggie and Terrent. Terrent is the tough as nails, bad ass wolf shifter who is all Alpha but doesn't seem to have a pack. Maggie is a sweet, clumsy sassy woman who can't quite remember her time before the Kurjans kidnapped her but with Terrent by her side, she seems content and always aroused around the sexy shifter. When he finally confesses they were to be mated before she was kidnapped, they finally get the deed done and after she punches him in the face and runs, he takes her down and loves her anyway. And she loves her sexy alpha even when he gets to be stubborn. I really got a kick out of the ninja cheerleaders, Shannon and Andrea and I absolutely LOVED the name they wanted to pick when they finally got Terrent to be their alpha of the pack. I am looking forward to the next Dark Protector book.

Tiger Eyes This book was very inspiring. The book was so well written and how the feelings go up and down during the book just makes it all the better. At first I was a little sceptical about this book, but when you start reading it you will feel differently. This book definitely deserves 5 stars.

Tides 'Tides' is an old-fashioned story told in a beautiful new way. Taking the sea-lore of selkies and making it complex and painful, this story of two high-school students and their summer on the Isles of Shoals off the coast of New Hampshire (a place clearly dear to the author). What could be a simple romance has been far more deftly crafted into a story of dysfunction and heartbreak, and even veers into some really dark territory which interprets its fairy tale origins in a compelling, modern way. I was reminded of 'A Ring of Endless Light,' one of my favorite Madeline L'Engle stories, and how 'Tides' reflects similar agonies of being young and in love.

The Taste of Lavender Meet Cindy, a freelance book editor and dutiful wife with the occasional wanderlust daydreams. Watch as two worldy neighbors Maribel and Lucas move into the house across the street. See how close the women become in such a short amount of time, and how relationships shift and realign themselves.

The Boleyn King This is an excellent novel! I was so excited to read it, with all my Tudor love, and when I started reading, literally, my mind was blown. I was all "wait a sec, Anne Boleyn is in her forties and losing her eyesight with her old age??" I had a hard time wrapping my brain around this concept that these people who are actually dead have new life breathed into them by Andersen's genius imagination. This is a wonderful mix of political intrigue, historical information, and yes, romance. The story is told 3rd person mostly omniscient, so the reader gets lots of different thoughts and feeling, which is very fun. Elizabeth at 21 is just as you would imagine her, stately and intelligent. Minuette, effectively the heroine, is sweet and demure, but also not above playing the political game. William, our king, goes through a transformation that echoes the one his father went through when he took the throne. And then there's Dominic, a very swoon worthy gentleman, who is loyal almost to a fault and, I hope, doesn't succumb to the courtly nonsense.

The Adjacent

A century or more in the future, Melanie Tarent is killed in a terrorist attack in Turkey by a frightening new weapon.

The only trace the weapon leaves behind is a triangular scorch mark on the ground. Her husband, Tibor, returns home to Britain and learns that the same weapon has been deployed on a larger scale in London, leaving a hundred thousand people dead. There appears to be a connection to something in Tibor's past, something he has no memory of.

Sweet Tea Revenge I was so excited for this book to come out! I love Laura Child's Tea Shop mysteries! This one was good, but a bit of a disappointment. I didn't feel like the characters were developed well, at all. It seemed like maybe she just needed to get another book out there. Nothing really happened with her love life...the murderer was so out of left field...the murder itself was ridiculously unnecessary. Several of the usual characters were missing...or just appeared briefly. It just wasn't satisfing.

Stolen Magic (Kat, Incorrigible) The Kat Incorrigible series is one of my favorites. The characters and time-period setting are written by Burgis wonderfully. The main character, Kat, is 13, but I think because there are characters at different stages in their life an older demographic could enjoy the series as well.

Star Cursed: The Cahill Witch Chronicles, Book Two Star Cursed is also a political testament to the rights of women. Think about the times when women couldn't vote, hold a job, learn to read or even own certain books because of religious intolerance. Women have been placed in powerless situations before, cast into insane asylums for being different, accused of being immodest and arrested for simple misunderstandings or forced into situations with male "superiors" that put them in horrible circumstances. Add to that the fear and terror of the witch burnings that happened throughout Europe and the incidents that happened in Salem and this is the climate that Jessica Spotswood has so brilliantly brought to life, with an alternative history twist.

If you are a fan of Harry Potter, Beautiful Creatures, Charmed, the House of Night series or The Secret Circle series, then this is a book you will more than likely enjoy.

Serendipity I thought this book was really well written. It flowed well and it was easy to distinguish the characters' points of view.

The author did a great job of adding danger while maintaining a light-hearted attitude. The romance between Ava and Jordan was great! There was so much tension and chemistry between them. The fact that Ava held Jordan off as long as possible while he remained completely confident and persistent just made both of their characters all the more lovable.

Revived This book is not only about a drug that brings people back from death, is much more than that. The relationships are amazingly well developed. You can't help but fall in love with every single character. I think Megan and Audrey were my favorites but I still love Daisy and Matt. As you can see is hard to pick a favorite character in this book. Be prepared, I went trough my arsenal of emotions while reading Revived.

Renegade Magic (Kat, Incorrigible) Such a wonderful sequel to the fully original Kat, Incorrigible. After the fiasco that happens at sister Elissa's wedding, Kat and her family take a trip to Bath. There Kat discovers that the Roman Baths are more than what they seem, with a magical and dangerous secret waiting to be uncovered.

Pretty Dark Nothing This book is tragic, sad, dark, and romantic all in one. I recommend it to fans of the paranormal YA Genre, and even to those who don't consider themselves YA anymore.

Knight's Game When her tryst with handsome billionaire Dominic Knight gets out of hand, Katherine Hart resolves to cut all contact for good. But Dominic won't let his object of fascination escape so easily: when they cross paths in a plush hotel in Singapore, their steamy affair is reignited.

Forbidden (Southern Comfort) (Volume 2) Will Tate and Clay's blossoming romance help or get in the way of the missing teen's investigation? And will they be able to handle everything they uncover while trying to solve the case? You'll have to read Forbidden to find out. While a part of the Southern Comfort series, this is a book you can read on its own. I plan to read the first book in the series, Serendipity, next.

Everville: The First Pillar I liked the way the normal world and the imagined world were intertwined and thought the main character was refreshing. Lately I haven't found many fantasy novels with truly likeable characters. I liked that this one was young, energetic and although uncertain, quickly became a good hero. I would think this novel would be of particular interest

to the younger crowd, but I don't see a reason why an adult wouldn't enjoy it as well. I found this to be very good as a whole and would certainly recommend it to others. This looks to be a very promising series.

Deception (Southern Comfort) (Volume 3) I want to start by saying I really loved this book. The ONLY reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I loved the first book in the series more. This is another great romantic suspense and its always nice to be able to follow up with the old characters. The romance was hot, the mystery intriguing, and the characters enjoyable as always. Looking forward to the next book!

Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic is an Urban Fantasy/Mystery with some wonderful elements of mild sexuality and quite a few very humorous moments. One of my favorite aspects of this particular author is her dialogue and description of the interactions between characters. When I read her words, it feels true to what/how I feel these characters would actually say/react to each other. The reader, also, gets a nicely detailed description of the surrounding area from the main characters first person point of view.

Come Alive Yes! My Dex has returned. I started counting down the moment to this books arrival WEEKS ago. Karina Halle's writing alone is enough to have me one clicking, but a book solely from Dex's POV, I'm almost at the point of bribing her to let me just get a quick sneak peek. What? Can you blame me? Yeah, I didn't think so. Let me just say that I love a book from the male character's POV. Ms. Halle writes Dex's POV with such verve that I forget that she is actually of the female gender. It's fabulous, astonishing, the BEST MALE POV I've ever read. Amazing.

Color Me Pretty I DEVOURED this book in just two hours. In all of my reading experience, I have never cared as much about a fictional character as I do for Claire Simone. Her story is completely heartbreaking and totally beautiful.

Throughout the course of reading this book, I cried, I prayed, I walked on egg shells, and I developed a huge smile with tears in my eyes. Watching Claire transform into the beautiful woman that she truly is inside was absolutely breathtaking. I rarely reread books, but this is a duet of books that will be reread often for me. This story is too beautiful to only enjoy once.

City of Bohane

Bohane is a thoroughly lawless Irish town, set in what would appear to be some kind of parallel universe. We are told it is set in 2053, but it's a town without any technology or modern luxuries. It's a violent place fueled by alcohol, drugs and lust with a patois style language that takes a little work to get into. Novels with this kind of premise have to be beyond good if they are to interest the annual literary prize judges this is one such book and "City of Bohane" is nominated for this year's Costa First Novel prize. It is stunningly good.

Cinnamon and Gunpowder The chef is charged with cooking a meal for her each Sunday. On board a ship with no stove and with only the provisions he can find. His resourcefulness is delightful, if probably somewhat anachronistic.

The writing is excellent with the Captain's past and motivations revealed gradually but never leaving you feeling cheated that you might not know all. And the last third of the book is as exciting an adventure as one could wish.

The Chocolate Box Girls: Coco Caramel Don't even consider not buying this book! I enjoyed every bit of it :) I couldn't put it down

11 Birthdays It's Amanda's 11th birthday and she is super excited after all, 11 is so different from 10. But from the start, everything goes wrong. The worst part of it all is that she and her best friend, Leo, with whom she's shared every birthday, are on the outs and this will be the first birthday they haven't shared together. When Amanda turns in for the night, glad to have her birthday behind her, she wakes up happy for a new day. Or is it? Her birthday seems to be repeating iself.

What is going on?! And how can she fix it? Only time, friendship, and a little luck will tell. . .

Vampire King of New York This story was a little bit of everything. If you are looking for a fun quick read which will make you smile, laugh and cry with the characters this is the perfect story for you. With an interesting mix of old world charm and a modern day setting it is easy to lose yourself in the story as it unfolds into a budding romance and page turning thriller. The historical aspects of the Norse Gods and the secret societies of New Orleans and New York make this a new spin on the classic vampire lore.

Unearthing the Bones A human skull is discovered in Madrid.

A serial killer takes a life in London..

The race is on, to own the most notorious relic of all time..

The White Gallows The White Gallows fulfills the promise shown in The Rule Book. McEvoy is exhausted and flawed, but he wants everything done right. His family supports him even though they're exasperated at the amount of time he spends away from his young daughter. The plot moves surefootedly through many twists and turns, and although I'd pieced together some of the clues, there were still several that surprised me.

The Wasted Vigil Aslam's Wasted Vigil is a delight to read. It's almost like a poem - lyrical and soft. The lives of many different kinds of people - old and young, men and women, Afghans, Americans, British, Russian - are all woven together in a tapestry of love, intrigue, hate and regret. Wasted Vigil is a tremendous insight into present day realities in Afghanistan.

The Rule Book Kitchin's descriptions of the hounding of Colm McEvoy and his family, by journalists from the Sun, and the influence the press had on figures of power in Ireland (terrified of having people from abroad scrutinize their incompetence) foreshadows the well-deserved wave of public disgust in the U.K. that was soon to hit News International and all who sail in her.

The Road Between Us As dark and nuanced as it is powerful and moving, The Road Between Us is a novel about survival, redemption and forbidden love. Its moral complexities will haunt the reader for days after the final page has been turned.

The Resistance Man Penelope the English tether can a women of Gaul become Walkers more then a object of desire.Com on Josephine start riding horses!

The Registry The Registry is a fun read and I encourage anyone looking for a book to read by the pool or on the beach this summer to pick this one up. It is a quick read and leaves you eagerly awaiting the release of the sequels.

The Quarry Eighteen-year-old Kit is weird: big, strange, odd, socially disabled, on a spectrum that stretches from "highly gifted" at one end, to "nutter" at the other. At least Kit knows who his father is he and Guy live together in a decaying country house on the unstable brink of a vast quarry. His mother's identity is another matter. Now, though, his father's dying, and old friends are gathering for one last time.

The People of Forever Are Not Afraid The book's narrative jumps around, and lesser characters jump in and out without much introduction or explanation.

It's difficult to follow the timeline, and I found myself flipping back and forth to remind myself what was going on.

Individual scenes and moments are very powerful, but taken as a whole I found it didn't always connect together.

Some of these chapters were first written as short stories, which explains some of that issue.

The Old Turk's Load I read that Gregory Gibson's "The Old Turk's Load" was forty years in the making. Here's hoping his next piece of fiction comes along much quicker. While I am mostly a non fiction reader stories like this are why I am sometimes lured to fiction. The historical feel for the times was right on and I for one can't wait to hear more from Walkaway Kelly, one of the best new fictional characters I have come across in some time. This tale was worth the wait.

The Long War (Long Earth) The Long War by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter follows the adventures and travails of heroes Joshua Valiente and Lobsang in an exciting continuation of the extraordinary science fiction journey begun in their New York Times bestseller The Long Earth.

The Ice Cream Girls Rotating perspective between the title characters in different time periods, The Ice Cream Girls is an exciting psychological suspense that grips the reader with a need to know what happened in the 1980s and what will occur as obsessed Poppy stalks family woman Serena. Both remains haunted by Marcus as neither fully moved on. The media hangs the two teens as Lolita while ignoring an adult in a mentoring position having sex with both of them and the court follows the news frenzied lead seems wrong but feels hypocritically honest. Fans will enjoy this taut thriller while wondering who killed the popular teacher.

The Grim Company The Gods are dead. The Magelord Salazar and his magically enhanced troops, the Augmentors, crush any dissent they find in the minds of the populace. On the other side of the Broken Sea, the White Lady plots the liberation of Dorminia, with her spymistresses, the Pale Women. Demons and abominations plague the Highlands.

The Fort This is a wonderful story about summer, youth, friendship, parents, pushing limits, and a serial killer. The story takes place in 1987 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The reader finds out right away that the killer is a demented Vietnam War veteran who has already killed 14 prostitutes. THIS story is about what happens when he takes a 16 year old girl from the suburbs instead.

The First Lie Completely captivated. Told through the point of view of Ivy in 1958 North Carolina, I can hear the thick southern accent through the pages. Smelling the old dirt roads and the remnants of tobacco lingering transformed my reading experience from casual interest to captivated. This is a short e-story that sets up the story to be told in the upcoming novel Necessary Lies by Diane Chamberlain. I have marked it as a want to read immediately after reading this e-story.

The Edge of the Earth Schwarz is not merely an excellent writer. She is also a masterful storyteller. Sometimes well-written books require one to be satisfied with admiring and appreciating the writer's beautiful language. Yet who doesn't enjoy a great pageturner? Here, Schwarz has accomplished the unusual feat of writing a compelling story full of literary riches.

The Devil's Cave This is a fine read albeit with a few moments of excess over-the-top on the satanist stuff and maybe a little overwriting in the action-centered finale but overall, very satisfying and getting us all lined up, salivating for the next Bruno book.

The Bell Between Worlds (The Mirror Chronicles) A glorious epic fantasy in the grand tradition of CS Lewis and Philip Pullman, and a major publishing event, The Mirror Chronicles will take you into another world, and on the adventure of your lifetime...Half of your soul is missing. The lost part is in the mirror. And unless Sylas Tate can save you, you will never be whole again. Sylas Tate leads a lonely existence since his mother died. But then the tolling of a giant bell draws him into another world known as the Other, where he discovers not only that he has an inborn talent for the nature-influenced magic of the Fourth Way, but also that his mother might just have come from this strange parallel place.

Swipe This book is so much fun! I couldn't put the thing down. It's a fun and clever dystopian story. It will get you thinking about how people tend to conform without asking questions. And it will leave you wanting to read the next book. I liked the unfolding mystery of what was going on, and the storyworld was so much fun. A lot of thought went into creating this dystopian future of what our country might have done to gain peace after a global war. I highly recommend this one for readers aged eight and up.

Storm (Swipe Series) I found the entire story to be a page-turner and I was completely hooked from the first paragraph up until the very end.

The novel ends with another great cliffhanger, so I was left wanting more - I wanted to know what happens to the characters and how things were going to end. I couldn't put this book down until the very last page and I am definitely eagerly awaiting the next book. This is one of those series that seems to only get better with each installment, which can't be said of many series out there. I highly recommend this novel to fans of YA, dystopian, apocalyptic, and thriller genres.

Stiffed Stiffed is a massively enjoyable, fast-moving and very funny black comedy of errors that comes across like Hitchcock's The Trouble With Harry directed by the Coen Brothers.

Sneak (Swipe Series) Overall, I really enjoyed Sneak and recommend it to fans of dystopian and middle grade/YA fiction. I think the series is best read in order, so you'll probably want to read Swipe before Sneak. I'm really looking forward to reading book three, Storm, as soon as I can.

Shocking True Story This book kept me riveted from the start. There are many twists and turns to this story. The ending is not what you expect. Will definitely encourage friends and family to buy and/or read this book.

Season of the Rainbirds Judge Anwar’s murder sets the people of the village on edge. Their anxieties are compounded when a sack of letters, thought lost in a train crash nineteen years ago, suddenly reappears under mysterious circumstances. What secrets will these letters bring to light? Could the letters shed any light on Judge Anwar’s murder? As Aslam traces the murder investigation over the next eleven days, he explores the impact that these two events have on the town’s inhabitants from Judge Anwar’s surviving family to the journalist reporting on the delivery of the mail packet. With masterful attention to detail and beautiful scenes that set the rhythms of daily life in Pakistan, Aslam creates a lush and timeless world played out against an ominous backdrop of religious tensions, assassinations, changing regimes, and faraway civil wars.

Proxy Overall, I liked this book and would definitely suggest it to lovers of dystopian science fiction or anyone who just loves a good story.

Power Under Pressure (The Society of Steam, Book Three)

I've enjoyed the heck out of this series. Love the world, love the characters, always eager to read what happens next.

I especially like that the women aren't just cardboard cutouts for the men to save or betray and then save. Men usually don't write women well, but Mayer handles the job skillfully. Nice.

Pack Up Your Troubles During the VE Day celebrations, two women meet completely by chance. As Connie and Eva talk they discover they are from feuding families, the Maxwells and the Dixons. But when they both begin nurses’ training, they can’t deny their natural bond of friendship and become more like sisters.

Of all the Ways He Loves Me Suzanne Williams delivers another positive teen romance free of the bad language and crudeness seen in so many teen novels. I just wish it was longer! Thanks Suzanne!

Now or Never I just read this in 4 hours and omg it was really good and sad when I thought he was dead this was a wonderful romance book I wish there was more then one book it was awesome...

Muerte Con Carne This is a book that grabs you by the vitals and keeps your attention to the bloody end. The meaty, gory goodness starts out great, keeps getting better and the pace just keeps picking up the whole time.

More (Before You Go) Clare James has yet again captivated me with another amazing story! More was absolutely amazing and I know it will be one of the books that I read again and again. More is a companion book to Clare James' first book Before You Go, which I fell head over heels for the moment I read it as well.

Midsummer Magic Recently engaged Josie is visiting her parents in Cornwall with best friend Diane, fiancee Harry and his pal Ant. Josie can’t wait to start wedding planning, if only Harry was more interested, and Diane and Ant weren’t at war with each other.

As the four make amends over a drink in the local pub, they meet Freddie Puck, a well known TV hypnotist and find themselves agreeing to a dare to stay out all night on the hills by the standing stones.

Maps for Lost Lovers Maps for Lost Lovers takes place in 1997 and is set over the course of a year in an unnamed community in England with a large Muslim population. It's primary focus is a married couple, Shamas, a non-believer and Kaukab, his pious wife. There are many mysteries threaded throughout this beautifully written novel, but the central one focuses on the disappearance of Shamas' brother Jugnu and the woman he was living with, Chanda. The two were not married and therefore were perceived to be living in a state of sin according to Muslim belief. Chanda's two brothers have been accused of murdering the couple. Over the course of the year, the trial over their suspected murder unfolds and many hidden secrets of the community are brought to light. It's a story of great suspense, giving precious insight into a very closed community that is struggling to maintain the beliefs of the country they left and the religion which is in many ways antithetical to modern English life.

Manicpixiedreamgirl This story just felt like real high school. Tunnel vision, letting life run you, not knowing how to handle hurt and big problems. Being a mess on the inside, being stupid, missing the obvious. Finding out that not everyone has a great home life. Discovering how much stuff people try to hide.

Lexicon This may very well be my new favorite novel. For the past 20+ years, it's been ENDER'S GAME, but LEXICON moved me like few novels ever have. The plotting is intricate enough to warrant a second or third reading (It says something that I just ordered the hardback of a book I already read as a review copy). The writing is top-notch. There is a description of what love means that would make The Bard blush. There is a sex scene that is powerful and stirring without being raunchy. There is a ton of action, two characters that will live with me for the rest of time, and a respect for language that runs to the heart of this book.

Hunger There is a very unique and definite voice. I guess that's just good writing. Enjoyed immensely.

Heat Wave - Erotika Short Stories for Women Heat Wave is the perfect title for this book. This is the perfect size short story, not too short and not too long. I think when you write erotic stories it has to be done with a certain finesse, and this book has that in spades. I think we all fantasize about that person that we should never want to have, but we secretly desired them.

Hair Raising (Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I.) Another fun book in the Dan Shamble series, combining an old school (zombie) detective feel with "ba dum bum" humor. As in the first two books, there are multiple and seemingly disparate cases that converge together as Dan solves the various mysteries. The resolution felt a little mild and, in one case, too far-fetched in this installment which is why I gave it the 4 rather than 5 stars of the previous books.

Fringe Benefits FRINGE BENEFITS keeps it light, powering the story with enough sexual tension to light up the L.A. basin but staying on the romantic side of the line. Reading the book is like taking a vacation to Southern California in the middle of a Montana winter a delightful warm interlude. You'll enjoy the time away from reality.

Following Me Overall, I really ended up liking it. I had to think about it a few days before I rated it and my rating increased once a few things changed for the final version. But here's the thing, I may not have loved Devon throughout the whole book, but days later, I was still thinking about it. So obviously, it made an impact. Linde is a talented author and I felt that this book showed her broadening her scope. Was it perfect for me? No, but it did stay on my mind. I would recommend this one to readers who enjoy romance, but also enjoy a slower building plot with a bit of suspense.

Falling Into Us A FREAKING AMAZING!!!! If you loved Nell, Kyle and Colton, then you will love Jason and Becca!

This story has it all. Friendship, laughter, hurt, passion, tears, fear, lust, pain and ever lasting love. You will not be disappointed when you read this. The journey that Jason and Becca take is a long one, but one well worth traveling.

Along the way you hear more of Kyle, Nell and Colton and a few other characters which affect the main characters like Benny and Kate. If you are looking for a story to smile to, then read this book.

Fading I tried so hard to read this in one sitting. However, sleep claimed me and I had to begin again in the morning. This book was very well written and flowed wonderfully. I highly recommend Fading but be ready. It is hard to read in places but it only adds to the book.

Dear Girls Above Me: Inspired by a True Story This book that Charlie McDowell has written feels an awful lot like listening to a sitcom's narrator. The scenes and dialogue seem plucked from a comedy and it is a very easy story to laugh at. It is generally entertaining, but specifically funny when he shares what the not-so-bright girls upstairs are pondering.

Carnival A brilliant and thought provoking novel. The story has many surprises which I don't wish to spoil for you - that kept me engaged waiting with breathless anticipation at what might happen next. I also enjoyed the use of humor in this book.

Sometimes dark and other times slapstick, I found myself laughing out loud at certain points. It will keep you thinking for many days after you finish reading the last page and place images inside your imagination that will never be erased.

Brush with Death (The Gray Whale Inn Mysteries) I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more of her work. Even though I haven't read some of the previous books in the series, Karen MacInerney provided enough background that the residents didn't seem like strangers to me but like old friends. I also appreciated her description of the island and its beauty. The book moves at a great pace. My only complaint is that once I started it, I didn't want to put it down.

Blood Tears (The McBain Series)

As well as warming to McBain through his humour and the strength of his determination to catch the villains, readers will sense a vulnerability which surfaces at times to add to his complexities. As I said, this looks like a Scottish cop who'll take his place among the stars of the genre.

Blood on the Water This prequel to the conspiracy thriller Isle of the Dead introduces us to the dark side of Venice a city with secrets to rival its splendour.

Apple Tree Yard Yvonne Carmichael has worked hard to achieve the life she always wanted: a high-flying career in genetics, a beautiful home, a good relationship with her husband and their two grown-up children. Then one day she meets a stranger at the Houses of Parliament and, on impulse, begins a passionate affair with him - a decision that will put everything she values at risk.

Angel Baby As I read through the novel, I remained immersed, but there's not anything really original here. It's a good, solid read, but nothing stands out. A lot of the scenery has been chewed over before. The overlapping scenes got a little stale and confused toward the end because it got repetitive. As a noir novel, Angel Baby succeeds well, but the characters didn't really mature by the end. They stayed pretty much who they were at the beginning. I wasn't looking for life lessons here, but I wanted something that resonated more strongly.

Amazingly Broken Jaxon represents two things to Elana: a reminder of how her family was before her mother's death and the only man who she desires, despite the reminders and his actions. It's hard and sometimes annoying to following Elana as she struggles with her feeling for Jaxon and how he treats her. But then we start to get a bit of Jaxon's history and see his softer side and we can understand why Elana has fallen for Jaxon.

All the Way Home I read it last night, I read it this morning, I read it on the deck, and I finally finished it inside in our sunroom. I was not capable of putting this book down or saving it for later. It's not fun at all...it's nail biting terror. I was even capable of

believing that nuns were evil in this book. I convinced myself that I totally knew who the murderer was...only to be shocked by this dramatic conclusion!

Aftershock: A Thriller The novel is written in Vachss' unique style, one that I've loved since Strega, Flood, Blue Belle, and many of his early books. Though this one is a stand-alone, it has the same power, force and insight that make Vachss one of my favorite writers.

A Touch of Scarlet Ms. Mont does a masterful job of paralleling Emma's modern societal problems at school with her periodic encounters with the intolerance of Puritan Massachusetts. Her liberal use of colorful metaphors add greatly to her ambitious task of comparing the social taboos of the two very different societies and their respective time periods. It makes you ponder whether we have significantly improved as a society in the last few hundred years.

A Taste for Malice (The McBain Series) DI Ray McBain is back at work and on filing duty. Desperate for something to do, a pair of old files intrigue him. In the first a woman pushes her way into a vulnerable family. The children adore her. At first. Then she has some "fun", which soon becomes torture and mental cruelty. Then she disappears. Meanwhile, in Ayrshire, another young family is relieved when a stranger comes into their lives to help them out. McBain makes the link, but nobody is interested in what he has to say. Is it even the same woman?

A Lost Witch Several themes emerged in this book that had perhaps been forming all along. One was the theme of interconnectedness and oneness. The theme of love and family healing all is a persistent one. And the idea of labels (autistic, crazy) being totally inadequate persists in this book. Here again we see the dark side of great power.

A Hundred Summers In 1931 two socialite college girls, Lily Dane and Budgie Byrne, attend college football games to watch Budgie's boyfriend play. Lily meets Nicholsen Greenwald at a game, and the two are instantly struck by each other. Their courtship is marred by the fact that Nick is Jewish, and when Lily attempts to introduce him to her parents they are adamant that Lily end the relationship.

The Cat, the Mill and the Murder: A Cats in Trouble Mystery Jillian Hart is faced with one of the most intriguing murders Mercy, South Carolina has ever seen. As soon as Jeannie showed up in the dust of that mill, I knew Leann Sweeney had penned another fascinating cozy mystery. One of the most interesting things is that strange, but true "ghost cat," Boots who somehow holds the key to that body in the mill.

Many of the old regulars I've enjoyed in the series are still hanging around, including that wild and crazy assistant coroner, Lydia Monk. Yes, she's still got her eye on Tom. The mystery is hot, the characters are fascinating, and there's once again those deep, dark secrets that make the tale a page-turner. The cats are back and the mystery is better than ever!

Death of the Demon: A Hanne Wilhelmsen Novel The ultimate test of a whodunit is whether the "reveal" is surprising and whether the story is engaging. Death of the Demon gets a better-than-passing grade on both prongs of the test. Holt has a talent for misdirection, as evidenced by a final twist that gives the story an extra spark while imparting new meaning to the book's title.

Before the Fall (A Rojan Dizon Novel) With the destruction of their power source, his city is in crisis: riots are breaking out, mages are being murdered, and the city is divided. But Rojan's hunt for the killers will make him responsible for all-out anarchy. Either that, or an all-out war.

You are One of Them Equally beautifully created is a story of the friend-left-behind who is navigating the alien world of the USSR, where truth and propaganda constantly shift boundaries, where the boundaries sometimes overlap with our own battles with truth and propaganda, and where no one can ever be sure that what they believe is what truly has happened. The author is so comfortable in her knowledge of the USSR that she sometimes drops the threads of the first story, instead of seamlessly interweaving those threads.

Wreckless WRECKLESS is one of those stories that stays with you, to ambush you at odd hours and remind you of everything you thought you'd forgotten about first love, broken friendships, and the kind of crazy-dangerous possibility-thinking that is such a huge part of being a teen. Having lived in small-town America, I could practically smell the cotton candy and french fries of the county fair with Quinlan's descriptive prose, and I truly felt for Bridget as she navigated a path

filled with family obligations, new and changing friendships, and the giddy, so-intense-you-can't-breathe feeling of first love with a guy who makes you feel dangerous just by standing next to him.

Witch Fire (Burn Mark) Lucas and Glory are hard at work in WICA (Witchkind Intelligence and Covert Affairs). As part of their training, they learn more about the witch-terrorist organization Endor. It is believed that Endor has infiltrated a boarding school for young witches in Switzerland, so WICA sends their two youngest agents Lucas and Glory to the school undercover.

There, they learn more about an experimental brain implant that blocks the power of the fae. It's a dangerous procedure...more so than they could ever have imagined.

Witch Eyes This action-filled, magical tale, which includes a mystery and a love story, builds to an exciting conclusion that will leave readers wondering what will happen next.

Witch Eyes is a must for readers looking to be captivated by not only the writing, but the characters and the story, and readers who are interested in meeting a witch with some rather incredible powers that might actually be more harmful to him than the magic he can wield.

What the Duke Desires A bit long, for some readers (length, on the long extreme, never bothers me), but I think historical romance lovers will devour this one! Of course, Sabrina Jeffries fans know she can write a good historical romance novel. Well, this one does NOT disappoint!

Victory: A Kydd Sea Adventure Julian Stockwin's Victory really punches up British history. The smoothness of the writing and the vivid descriptions make the reader feel as if one is watching "live action footage" - but with words. I found the author adroitly worked in nautical explanations so smoothly I wasn't frustrated or blocked from following the story line. It's written from the former ordinary seaman, Thomas Kydd's point of view, not from the aristrocacy or from a history teacher's dry writings.

Stockwin does a great job of pulling empathy out of the reader. His analogies are strong. It's easy to understand the emotional and social environment.

If you have time, start reading the first of Stockwin's books about Kydd. It will both enrich your understanding and increase your enjoyment of this book as you read of the culmination of Kydd's career with Lord Nelson during the Napoleonic wars.

Vampires, Scones, and Edmund Herondale (The Bane Chronicles) When immortal warlock Magnus Bane attends preliminary peace talks between the Shadowhunters and the Downworlders in Victorian London, he is charmed by two very different people: the vampire Camille Belcourt and the young Shadowhunter, Edmund Herondale. Will winning hearts mean choosing sides?

Uptown Girl Emma Hastings has it all - a successful career as a fashion model, a flat in Kensington and now she may have even found her leading man, the wealthy and charming Jason Rothschild who ticks all the right boxes.

Unwelcome (Archangel Academy Novels) The second Archangel Academy (see Unnatural) teen urban fantasy is a terrific tale with a beautiful star-crossed romantic subplot that accentuates the two combative subspecies. The expatriate Cornhusker has come a long way from Nebraska in a short time but his journey even with Ronan to guide him remains difficult as he must be Unafraid of his full essence for his deep psychological need to feel accepted and belong to happen. The key to the exciting story line is that readers will accept the existence of vampires as a natural species with issues and disputes as Michael Griffo provides an enthralling and totally entertaining entry that teenage readers and adults will appreciate and put on their keeper shelf.

Twilight Eyes Koontz doesn't usually write in first person, which makes this a unique novel among all the others he's done. Its also an earlier novel of his, written before he developed a 'Stephen King' predilection for 'verbal diarrhea', overwriting his stories to the point where prose overcame the actual story. 'Twilight Eyes' is an adventuresome novel with a unique storyline and well written enough to keep you up all night long. I highly recommend it. Enjoy!

The Throat At the psychological junction where child abuse in its worst imaginable form intersects uneven memory stands THE THROAT, exposed. Fiction this intelligent rarely comes along in any genre. That Peter Straub is compelled to use his astounding talents in a probe of the dark side makes for chilling reading, because he is more than smart enough to make you believe. Even in the daylight.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane I was very impressed. For me, this work is, without doubt, first-rate fantasy and escapist fiction...and very fine literature, as well. It delivers a highly imaginative, fabulous and fascinating fable that envelops, and attempts to explain, everything in the space-time continuum. Yes, it's that ambitious! It had me hooked from the first to the last page. Simply put: it is an incredible gem of a novel.

The Night Before The truth is a shocker and something that I didn't even expect at all. I read some of the other reviews and I couldn't see where the reader would know about the outcome. I also had no idea of the killer and was just as shocked with that. I have read both Jackson's books, Hot and Cold Blooded, and I think that The Night Before definitley surpasses both books in suspense and romance.

The Leftovers

I was feeling really critical of the book because for a long time it felt so emotionless. Some people lost entire families, yet there was no grief. I didn't feel connected to anybody, and the back of the book said "a colorful cast of characters" and I just wasn't getting it, at all (with one minor exception.)

And then it sort of transcended and all came together. And what felt subtle and emotionless as I was going through it, left me feeling ultimately as though I'd been on an emotional journey the whole time.

Being unfamiliar with Perrotta's work, I'm not sure if this is par for his course. But I think that this book has potential to feel disappointing at points through the course of reading it. If it feels like that, I'd encourage you to stick with it. The book rarely veers from its subtlety, and I'm not promising a great ending ... But the way in which it evolved was quite masterful.

The Last Summer of the Camperdowns I truly enjoyed this book. Riddle is a wonderful narrator and so much wiser that her twelve years. So much happening in this book to keep you interested. It is a beautifully written and engaging tale. I can only hope to see more from this author!

The Last Original Wife

I enjoyed this book very much. I love that it was set in Charleston one of my favorite cities. Since I am close to the same age as the main character I too am amazed by the happenings of the world today.

The Land of Laughs The fact that people on average haven't heard of him, is to me incomprehendable. He is going to go down in history of one of this centurys greatest writers. The Land Of Laughs, Jonathans first novel, is a story that begins in grounded reality, and slowly slides into the realm of fantasy, just as Alice fell through the looking glass, you will find yourself on a similar journey. If you like books that treat you with respect as a reader, and understand that we the reader like to be taken somewhere new, and origional, then buy this book. If you don't like it, you won't like any other of his novels, If you do like it, get ready to spend hours on e-bay tracking them down.

The Impossibility of Tomorrow: An Incarnation Novel I just bought this book on kindle and I read it in 3 days. I loved how the author keeps you guessing throughout the book whose body Cyrus has taken over. This book really builds on the foundation set up in book 1 and answers some questions. I totally didn't expect the ending. I loved Noah and Sera/Kailey together and they have some great moments in this book.

Hidden Cities: Travels to the Secret Corners of the World's Great Metropolises English | ISBN: 1585429341 | 2013 | EPUB | 352 pages | 6,6 MB Moses Gates, "Hidden Cities: Travels to the Secret Corners of the World's Great Metropolises; A Memoir of Urban Exploration" . In this fascinating glimpse into the world of urban exploration, Moses Gates describes his trespasses in some of the most illustrious cities in the world from Paris to Cairo to Moscow. Gates is a new breed of adventurer for the 21st century. He thrives on the thrill of seeing what others do not see, let alone even know exists. It all began quite innocuously.

After moving to New York City and pursuing graduate studies in Urban Planning, he began unearthing hidden facets of the city—abandoned structures, disused subway stops, incredible rooftop views that belonged to cordoned-off buildings. At first it was about satiating a nagging curiosity; yet the more he experienced and saw, the more his thirst for adventure grew, eventually leading him abroad. In this memoir of his experiences, Gates details his travels through underground canals, sewers, subways, and crypts, in metropolises spanning four continents.In this finely-written book, Gates describes his immersion in the worldwide subculture of urban exploration; how he joined a world of people who create secret art galleries in subway tunnels, break into national monuments for fun, and travel the globe sleeping in

centuries-old catacombs and abandoned Soviet relics rather than hotels or bed-and-breakfasts. They push each other further and further—visiting the hidden side of a dozen countries, discovering ancient underground Roman ruins, scaling the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg bridges, partying in tunnels, sneaking into Stonehenge, and even finding themselves under arrest on top of Notre Dame Cathedral. Ultimately, Gates contemplates why he and other urban explorers are so instinctively drawn to these unknown and sometimes forbidden places—even (and for some, especially) when the stakes are high. Hidden Cities will inspire readers to think about the potential for urban exploration available for anyone, anywhere—if they have only the curiosity (and nerve!) to dig below the surface to discover the hidden corners of this world.

The Woman Who Changed Her Brain: And Other Inspiring Stories of Pioneering Brain Transformation ISBN: 1451607938 | 2012 | EPUB | 288 pages | 3 MB Barbara Arrowsmith-Young was born with severe learning disabilities that caused teachers to label her slow, stubborn—or worse. As a child, she read and wrote everything backward, struggled to process concepts in language, continually got lost, and was physically uncoordinated. She could make no sense of an analogue clock. But by relying on her formidable memory and iron will, she made her way to graduate school, where she chanced upon research that inspired her to invent cognitive exercises to “fix” her own brain. The Woman Who Changed Her Brain interweaves her personal tale with riveting case histories from her more than thirty years of working with both children and adults.

Recent discoveries in neuroscience have conclusively demonstrated that, by engaging in certain mental tasks or activities, we actually change the structure of our brains—from the cells themselves to the connections between cells.

The capability of nerve cells to change is known as neuroplasticity, and Arrowsmith-Young has been putting it into practice for decades. With great inventiveness, after combining two lines of research, Barbara developed unusual cognitive calisthenics that radically increased the functioning of her weakened brain areas to normal and, in some areas, even above-normal levels. She drew on her intellectual strengths to determine what types of drills were required to target the specific nature of her learning problems, and she managed to conquer her cognitive deficits.

Starting in the late 1970s, she has continued to expand and refine these exercises, which have benefited thousands of individuals. Barbara founded Arrowsmith School in Toronto in 1980 and then the Arrowsmith Program to train teachers and to implement this highly effective methodology in schools all over North America. Her work is revealed as one of the first examples of neuroplasticity’s extensive and practical application. The idea that self-improvement can happen in the brain has now caught fire.

The Woman Who Changed Her Brain powerfully and poignantly illustrates how the lives of children and adults struggling with learning disorders can be dramatically transformed. This remarkable book by a brilliant pathbreaker deepens our understanding of how the brain works and of the brain’s profound impact on how we participate in the world. Our brains shape us, but this book offers clear and hopeful evidence of the corollary: we can shape our brains.

The Astronaut Wives Club: A True Story ISBN: 1455503258 | 2013 | MOBI | 288 pages | 3 MB As America's Mercury Seven astronauts were launched on death-defying missions, television cameras focused on the brave smiles of their young wives. Overnight, these women were transformed from military spouses into American royalty. They had tea with Jackie Kennedy, appeared on the cover of Life magazine, and quickly grew into fashion icons.

Annie Glenn, with her picture-perfect marriage, was the envy of the other wives; platinum-blonde Rene Carpenter was proclaimed JFK's favorite; and licensed pilot Trudy Cooper arrived on base with a secret. Together with the other wives they formed the Astronaut Wives Club, meeting regularly to provide support and friendship. Many became nextdoor neighbors and helped to raise each other's children by day, while going to glam parties at night as the country raced to land a man on the Moon.

As their celebrity rose-and as divorce and tragic death began to touch their lives-they continued to rally together, and the wives have now been friends for more than fifty years. THE ASTRONAUT WIVES CLUB tells the real story of the women who stood beside some of the biggest heroes in American history.

Red Sniper on the Eastern Front: The Memoirs of Joseph Pilyushin ISBN: 1848841205 | 2010 | PDF | 288 pages | 4 MB Joseph Pilyushin, a top Red Army sniper in the ruthless fight against the Germans on the Eastern Front, was an exceptional soldier and he has a remarkable story to tell. His firsthand account of his wartime service gives a graphic insight into his lethal skill with a rifle and into the desperate fight put up by Soviet forces to defend Leningrad. He also records how, during the three-year siege, close members of this family died, including his wife and two sons, as well as many of his comrades in arms. He describes these often-terrible events with such honesty and clarity that his memoir is remarkable.

Piluyshin, who lived in Leningrad with his family, was already 35 years old when the war broke out and he was drafted. He started in the Red Army as a scout, but once he had demonstrated his marksmanship and steady nerve, he became a sniper. He served throughout the Leningrad siege, from the late 1941 when the Wehrmacht's advance was halted just short of the city to its liberation during the Soviet offensive of 1944.

His descriptions of grueling front-line life, of his fellow soldiers and of his sniping missions are balanced by his vivid recollections of the protracted suffering of Leningrad's imprisoned population and of the grief that was visited upon him and his family.

His gripping narrative will be fascinating reading for any one who is keen to learn about the role and technique of the sniper during the Second World War. It is also a memorable eyewitness account of one man's experience on the Eastern Front.

Do Sparrows Like Bach?: The Strange and Wonderful Things that Are Discovered When Scientists Break Free English | 2010 | ISBN: 1605981141 | 224 pages | LQ scan PDF | 5,2 MB From Booklist The editors at New Scientist magazine (Does Anything Eat Wasps?, 2005) are at it again, dredging up from the magazine’s archives stories that bring to life the wacky side of science and scientists. This time the organizing

principle is the remarkable ingenuity shown by hard-working scientists, ingenuity that sometimes verges on, well, craziness. Think of this book as a science edition of the Darwin Awards, only (mostly) not so fatal: these are stories of hands-on research performed by dedicated, if often decidedly offbeat, individuals. Like the biologist who tried to use a remote-controlled miniature helicopter to capture freshly expelled whale snot; or the researchers who used models of turkeys to determine the “minimum stimulus it takes to excite a male turkey”; or the physician who tried to measure the weight of a human using a dying patient and a wooden beam; or the Italian fellow who told police he could determine a suspect’s guilt or innocence by examining his internal organs. A deeply fascinating and occasionally rib-tickling book. --David Pitt

Milk: The Surprising Story of Milk Through the Ages English | 2008 | ISBN: 1400044103 | ISBN-13: 9781400044108 | 352 pages | EPUB | 4,3 MB Part cookbook—with more than 120 enticing recipes—part culinary history, part inquiry into the evolution of an industry, Milk is a one-of-a-kind book that will forever change the way we think about dairy products.

Anne Mendelson, author of Stand Facing the Stove, first explores the earliest Old World homes of yogurt and kindred fermented products made primarily from sheep’s and goats’ milk and soured as a natural consequence of climate. Out of this ancient heritage from lands that include Greece, Bosnia, Turkey, Israel, Persia, Afghanistan, and India, she mines a rich source of culinary traditions.

Mendelson then takes us on a journey through the lands that traditionally only consumed milk fresh from the cow— what she calls the Northwestern Cow Belt (northern Europe, Great Britain, North America). She shows us how milk reached such prominence in our diet in the nineteenth century that it led to the current practice of overbreeding cows and overprocessing dairy products. Her lucid explanation of the chemical intricacies of milk and the simple home experiments she encourages us to try are a revelation of how pure milk products should really taste.

The delightfully wide-ranging recipes that follow are grouped according to the main dairy ingredient: fresh milk and cream, yogurt, cultured milk and cream, butter and true buttermilk, fresh cheeses. We learn how to make luscious Clotted Cream, magical Lemon Curd, that beautiful quasi-cheese Mascarpone, as well as homemade yogurt, sour cream, true buttermilk, and homemade butter. She gives us comfort foods such as Milk Toast and Cream of Tomato Soup alongside Panir and Chhenna from India. Here, too, are old favorites like Herring with Sour Cream Sauce, Beef Stroganoff, a New Englandish Clam Chowder, and the elegant Russian Easter dessert, Paskha. And there are drinks for every season, from Turkish Ayran and Indian Lassis to Batidos (Latin American milkshakes) and an authentic hot chocolate.

This illuminating book will be an essential part of any food lover’s collection and is bound to win converts determined to restore the purity of flavor to our First Food.
