“Abby and Emma are walking on the beach in San Francisco. Emma runs on ahead to look for sand dollars while Abby stops to notice a dead seal pup. When Abby turns around, Emma is gone. A Year of Fog is a gripping read about what happens in the year after Emma's disappearance - how Emma's father Jake deals with her disappearance, how his relationship with Abby changes and how Abby refuses to believe that Emma drowned. Part frustrating, part thrilling, part suspended belief, A Year of Fog would make for a great book discussion.”

When angels close the portals, Karou is trapped in Prague and get back to the only family she's ever known. Akiva, one of the angels, is drawn to Karou and as she begins her quest to return to Brinstone, tracks her trying to learn more. Daughter of Smoke and Bone is full of mystery, fantasy and a love story that crosses barriers and had an ending that keeps you wanting more. Great for lovers of fantasy and those who like romance with a supernatural twist.”

“Stephanie still finds herself torn between Ranger and Morelli and is back from a Hawaiian vacation with a tan line on her ring finger. Everyone wants to know what happened while she was away and of course mixed into all of that is a series of bad guys stalking her looking for a picture she may or may not have. All the usual characters make an appearance and hijinks ensue. An entertaining entry in the Stephanie Plum series but not as good as past titles.”

“The sequel to Beautiful Lies finds Ridley's relationship with Jake falling apart because of his obsession with her dead father Max. As if that weren't bad enough, the FBI has her under surveillance because they don't believe Max is dead and they're trying to use Ridley as bait to draw him out of hiding. As Ridley gets sucked deeper into a web of lies, she's not sure who to trust and what the truth really is. A bit far-fetched and many of the scenes seem like they were pulled right from the pages of the first book. Not as good as the original but definitely a quick and exciting read.”

“Set in a misc. town on Long Island, LIE is about a racial crime committed by two seniors and the the school where everyone knows, but no one's talking. Jimmy is in jail for the beating, but Sean has been released on bail with the opportunity to plea if he rats out Jimmy. Skylar is Jimmy's girlfriend and she witnessed everything, but she doesn't want to betray her boyfriend. Should Sean and Skylar follow their hearts and tell the truth or should they cave to peer pressure and keep their mouths shut? A quick read with short chapters, good for reluctant readers.”

“Charley Davidson can see ghosts. Not only can she see them, it's her job to help them cross to the other side because she's a grim reaper. To pay the bills though, she uses her skills as a consultant foe the Albequerque PD, in particular, she helps her uncle close cases. When someone from Charley's past reappears and 3 lawyers are killed under suspicious pretenses, Charley must use all of her skills to figure out what's going on. This book is basically Stephanie Plum with ghosts. It's got the same basic premise and the same types of jokes only once you're reading it, you don't care. Definitely give to Janet Evanovish fans and those who like a good laugh with their mystery.”

“Eve's been targeted by an extremist group named Cassandra bent on blowing up major monuments in NYC. Will she and Roarke be able to stop them in time? Although not great literature, Loyalty in Death makes for a quick and entertaining read with a bunch of sex thrown in to keep it spicy.”
