New Moon - Stephanie Meyer

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was excited to read this book after just completing Twilight. I was a little disappointed however in the story line. It wasn't as exciting and actually took me a little longer to read than I had hoped, only because I couldn't pick it up (usually I have the opposite reaction). I still enjoy the series and the story but can wait until the third book comes out in paperback to continue reading the saga.

Royal Target - Traci Hunter Abramson

Royal Target by Traci Hunter Abramson

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
Although it's hard for me to sometimes read "church fiction" - this book I really enjoyed listening too. It has great depth and an excellent plot. The characters are well done and parts of me are almost wishing she would turn this book into a series. I love the movie like feel of the book and enjoyed the many different levels the book was written on. I hated when I arrived to my destinations and had to turn it off only to wait a period of time before I could begin listening again. It truly is a modern fairy-tale and an exciting "read". The only part I didn't care for was the reader. She spoke to quickly and made you feel rushed while you were listening.

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
What to say. It was a short yet keep you on the edge of your seat type of book. It was quick yet clear. I enjoyed this book and appreciated the quick yet suspenseful read.

One For The Money - Janet Evanovich

I picked up this book about 4 years ago to read, and just couldn't quite get into it so a few months ago as I was pursuing the library (why I feel the need to go to the library when I have 170 some unread books at my house I have no idea) and came across the first three of her books in one big book, I picked it up and started reading, and kept reading and kept reading til I had finished this first book. I decided I liked it so much that I went to the library returned the book and wen to the book store to buy them. Stephanie Plum is so lovable and real it's hard to put this book down. I really like books that I can relate to in some ways and feel as though I know the character. Ms. Evanovich writes so clean and real that it's hard not to feel as though you are part of Stephanie's life. I am looking forward to reading more in this series.

Crime Seen - Victoria Laurie

I love Victoria Laurie's' Physic Eye Series! This book was no exception to that or to the series itself. I have enjoyed all of her books and the first 4 every book kept getting better and better! I was although a little disappointed with this one, there was less mystery and more romance, don't get me wrong I love the mystery romance novels but I liked how she kept the romance kinda a mystery as well, it's like the heart of the book was romance with a little mystery, I much preferred it the other way around.

Her character, Abby Cooper, is a psychic around the Detroit area, and she has this gorgeous hunk of a boyfriend Dutch, who is FBI - Abby is recuperating from her gunshot wound at Dutch's house - She is upset her 'Crew' (her guides on the Other Side who help her psychically) didn't warn her that she was going to be shot. She shuts down and temporarily stops her career - But in a great move, Dutch asks for her help in some cases he is working on - That is a huge move for Dutch - at first he was skeptical - Great to see him progress as well - Abby goes undercover to find clues to unravel Dutch's case - dangerous work - and exciting!
