Dark Secrets 2

by Elizabeth Chandler

“meets the criteria for a good book: Every time I have to put it down, I really look forward to getting back to it! Murder mystery, plus a bit of romance. Beautiful use of language, colors, description. And, such creativity! Plot twists are very creative.”

Every Last One

by Anna Quindlen

“Very well written! True to life story of a family, the relationships in the family. It is not a happy story, but it is painfully real. Raw emotion. Read it; see what you think. It's Anna Quindlen - you know you will love it.”
