Fallen Skies: A Novel
by Philippa Gregory
Lots of Hold Your Breath Moments!!! (2/4/2020)
This is a MUST read!! How can you go wrong with a Philippa Gregory “page-turner” I had to write this review to let readers know that Philippa Gregory has brought her storytelling skills to another amazing level. I love her stories about the Tudors, but there's only so much one can write. I was happily surprised to see that Gregory developed rich characters and a riveting storyline in this book as well - in keeping with the WWI era that had me screaming, and clutching the book as my eyes flew across the pages and gasp for breath and cry out in agony and feel every emotion come to the surface only to realize I just had to calm down, it is only a book, If you're looking for more Philippa Gregory but a different story, I believe you will find it in Fallen Skies. BRAVO !!

The Wife Between Us
by Greer Hendricks, Sarah Pekkanen
WOO HOOO! BRILLIANT (8/3/2018)
OMG!!! This book is fantastic!! Part One is a page turner, but as soon as you read the last page of that section and start Part Two you MUST give up life as you know It and dedicate it to this book!! The authors wrote it so well I was surprised, but thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns. Every part was wrapped up so well, I wasn't left hanging. This is a must read book!!!
Sometimes I Lie
by Alice Feeney
Can I give this book 10 STARS!!! (7/22/2018)
Awesome, captivating book - don't pass it by !! I don't know where to start or what to say except maybe.... it is mind blowing! compelling and exciting! It keeps you going until the end. You are gasping for breath, dizzy, and in so deep you feel like you can't put this book down. This book was twisted, raw and at some points scary, it went back and forth between present day, (Amber in a coma) to a week prior, the build up to Amber being in a coma, and 1992, a series of diaries. The twists and turns this book takes was so entertaining and spooky, I found myself speeding up the reading just to see what happened next! Pages were flying I was dead to the world, It kept me guessing, and thinking and guessing the entire time: gasp! Breathe..... I loved every second! Wow! This has got to be a movie...
