This was a good book that shows the destruction that adultery can cause, but also the healing process afterwards. I liked the main character,Isabel, and many women could identify with her.

The Blackstone Chronicles are short novels. Each novel in the series revolves around an object with a connection to the old Blackstone Insane Asylum. People in the town receive these items and horror and mayhem follow. I am a fan of John Saul horror novels, and these are good as well.

Historical romance about an independent Texas tomboy who tries to avenge her brother's murder and finds love. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Historical romances are a guilty pleasure for me.

Overall, this was a good mystery book. It was a quick read. The author's style of writing was a little too simple and formulatic, in my opinion

Bentley Little has a pretty demented and imaginitive mind. Lots of sex and gore in this book. But that doesn't bother me, I liked it.

A book about a publisher who experiences betrayal, love, and mystery when she receives a manuscript from a mysterious author. A good read with some twists and turns and romance. First Sandra Brown book I've read, and I will read her other books.

A murder-mystery romance story about a woman who wakes up to find her husband missing, then dead in the river that contains the falls near the bed and breakfast they are renovating. A good read.

The best out of the 3, in my opinion. I thought I had guessed the ending, but was surprised (it was clever). John Cleaver finally has some hope in his life.

A good suspense/crime novel. Delves into the world of hostage negotiations. Also, all of the female hostages are deaf & you learn some things about the deaf community's culture. The hostage takers are an evil, heartless bunch, especially the ring-leader. But one of the deaf girls is very strong-willed & is giving him a good fight.Good read.

This book was so sweetly written. It's about a man that most consider a feisty old grouch, and very unpleasant. True at times, but there's much more to the man and his life and what made him that way. Sometimes, humorous, sometimes sad (but not very often). A lot of things occur in the book that make you change your mind about Ove, and make him a lovable man. I'm glad I read it.

A novel translated from Japanese. It's a little strange at first, getting used to a different culture and way of thinking. I also found it refreshing to get a non-American viewpoint on the subject matter. Grieving and starting life over anew. No harsh language, but also not prudish, which was a little surprising. It resonated with me because I also lost a much-loved father, who had imperfections like every parent. A pleasant , prettily written read. (I also learned some Japanese terms).

This book was a page turner. I can't believe the abuse this nanny put up with. It was a good, fast read and funny at parts. A few complaints, the main characters are called generic names such as "Nanny" and "Mrs, X". Which was odd. I was expecting more of a big revenge ending. Overall, I enjoyed the book.

Another good horror/mystery from Mr.Saul. Was a fast read, halfway through, i was turning pages faster to get to the ending. There's not too much gore or anything that's too disturbing, for those who dont like that kind of thing.
