Review: The Guilty One

The Guilty One by Kiersten Modglin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow, this one even starts off great.  What do you do when its reported to you that your husband was in an accident and when you go to identify him, you find that it is not your husband.  When a book starts off this way, there is only one thing to do.....stop everything and READ!  If you never read another book, make sure you read this one....thrilling, scary, mind boggling and just an all out page-turner!!

Review: My Neighbour's Affair

My Neighbour's Affair by Daniel Hurst
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Daniel Hurst never disappoints in his books.  Again we are intrigued by the relationships of his characters.  We find ourselves turning the page to find out what happens next.  A neighbors affair is always interesting but we soon find out all about it.  Especially when your husband doesnt want you to get involved.  Shocking. twists. and of course there is always that surprise at the end that Hurst is famous for.  A great read.

Review: Missing

Missing by K.L. Slater
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

How do you face the face that your daughter is missing and you know who took her.  This gripping book keeps you turning the page and going back and forth between believing the mother and then coming to a twist and turn that you didnt know was coming.  A great book for a raining day because you will need to finish this one before you go to bed!!

Review: The Honeymoon

The Honeymoon by Shalini Boland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shalini Boland did it again. Just when you thought you knew the plot....we have a twist. This starts out on the first page with the honeymoon itself making you wonder what happened to the husband that vanished.

You will think its like any other book where the character vanishes...but you wont forget this one when you find out the secrets....and the surprise ending!! Highly recommend this book.

Review: Find Me in California

Find Me in California by Kerry Lonsdale
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Won this book as a Goodreads Giveaway.  Always loved a Lonsdale book and this one did not disappoint.  Very heartbreaking when two people have issues with family but we also see how they deal with it in each their own way.  Both Julia and Matt grew up feeling unloved but what brings them together is something they never would have imagined.

A heartwarming, beautiful and memorable story by an author I always enjoy reading.

Review: The Housemaid Is Watching

The Housemaid Is Watching by Freida McFadden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What can I say?  Its a Freida book and I havent read one that I didnt love.  Again she entangles us into the lives of other people and their psychosis....a page turner and a twist and a surprise, what more can you ask for.  All I can say is if you havent read a Freida book, then you better get started..this is a series so start with The Housemaid, then The Housemaids Secret and finally this one....I guarantee you wont want to do anything else but turn pages.  Now I am waiting patiently for her next book....

Review: Bitter House

Bitter House by Kiersten Modglin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh My!  Again, Ms Modglin does it again.  Another page turner with some strange characters.  Bridget's parents die and she is raised by her grandmother, Vera Bitter - yes, the name alone gives you the creeps.  Especially when we find out her grandmother kicks her out of the house right after graduation....no love there.  But, when grandma passes and the house is left to Bridget we find more secrets and answers than ever.  And finally we find the secrets that are revealed.

This is definitely a page turning thriller, with loads of surprises and finally an understanding to the life Bridget led and just what her grandma was all about.  Loved the twists and turns and roller coaster ride this book gives you!

Review: Life, Loss, and Puffins

Life, Loss, and Puffins by Catherine Ryan Hyde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oh wow...what an adventure to be on.  Being too smart has its downfalls also.  And so we are on an adventure when we read about Ru Evans who at the age of 13 is about to enter college.  People dont understand her and she is frustrated.  Until she meets Gabriel and is about to take a road trip with him and discover what cant be taught in schools.

Loved following these two on their trip to Canada and the adventures and obstacles they overcover.  A heartwarming story that shows you can do anything if you set your mind to it.....even at a young age.  Great story as all Ms Hyde's stories are!

Review: Secrets Told

Secrets Told by Tina Hogan Grant
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I received an ARC of this book from Ms Grant I was so excited to read it.  You see, I LOVED all her other books and just knew I would love this one.  There are some authors you buy books from without even reading what they are about.  And this is one of those books.

A page turner, a heartwarming story and well, "no spoilers here"...thats all I will reveal.  The story about this family of four - Bryce, Patti (yes I am calling her Patti) and their children Savannah and Jewel makes you feel like they are the people next door.  You know them and only wish them the best.  

Bravo Ms. Grant.....you did it again!!
