What Lies Between Us
by Nayomi Munaweera
Women driven by demons of their past (12/6/2015)
The story is a fast moving read, though at times it is very unpleasant and has you wondering what just happened. You end up cheering for the unstable character(s). I would recommend this book to book clubs. The issues in the book would bring a lot of discussion regardingmore
Trust No One: A Thriller
by Paul Cleave
Never ending??? (6/3/2015)
I was excited to read this thriller book especially from a well known author. The beginning and middle of this book kept going. The going was slow and then the author weaved some twist in the book where you wanted to keep on going. As I have just finished reading the book,more
The Well
by Catherine Chanter
Suspenseful and wordy (3/14/2015)
I had a hard time getting started on this book. The beginning was very wordy with the descriptions of the scenery and characters. The end of the book was fast reading. I wanted to find out what happened. Once the murderer was identified, the book became wordy again. It is amore
A Fireproof Home for the Bride
by Amy Scheibe
Monopoly of Issues (2/18/2015)
This story was very very slow in the beginning, in fact I put it down for a couple of weeks and then started up again. Once I was able to connect the story line things did move fast and then a little faster, where it was getting hard to put down. There are a lot of issuesmore
Juliet's Nurse
by Lois Leveen
Good Read (7/23/2014)
Juliet's Nurse was a very interesting book. It told the back story of Romeo and Juliet. The story line that most know even if you never read Romeo and Juliet. The story was pretty gruesome on details of medical issues, the history of illness along with the battle deathsmore
Mating for Life
by Marissa Stapley
Worried about the title (3/11/2014)
The book was very interesting in the way it was written. Each chapter told a different story of lives of family members and friends. The title did throw me off. I did not like it and was afraid to read the book. I did not know what I was getting myself into. There a fewmore

The Edge of Normal
by Carla Norton
What is Normal? (7/9/2013)
The literary style of this book is amazing.

This book is one that I was afraid to read because of the psychological insight of a thriller. I was ready to read with one eye closed.

The Edge of Normal is about a young girl who is trying to get her life back after a kidnapping.more
The Sisterhood
by Helen Bryan
Unique Read (5/2/2013)
This book is very unique in the way it is written. It jumps from one time frame to another. This book has lots of characters. Sometimes it is very hard to keep track of the characters. A lot of events do happen in this book. I would suggest to read the title of everymore
Rage Against the Dying
by Becky Masterman
Yes the unsolved case of the triller (1/19/2013)
A Nancy Drew thriller is what I would call this book. I did enjoy the book but it was not a page turner as I was expecting based on the cover jacket.
It is about a strong women who can succeed in a male dominate job which she had. This strong women also tried a new lifemore
