This was definitely a different and interesting book, I was very intrigued though. I just wanted to find out why Kaylee had this special and scary power, to find out why all these young and healthy girls were dying. A few things were predictable but most were surprises that I did not see coming. I'm so glad Kaylee had Nash, he was always there for her and at times the only person. Her family gave off the vibe that they thought she was weird or crazy, even though they shouldn't have. I felt bad that she couldn't talked to them about what was really going on with her. One of the discoveries was very sad to me and my heart went out to Kaylee. I'm looking forward to continuing this series and see what happens next:)

Unfortunately, I just didn't really connect with the characters in this standard romance novel. Brooke is a woman with a stalker ex-husband who puts way too much stock in good luck charms. Mike is an ex-military man with a painful past who is trying to re-invent himself as a private investigator. I didn't find either of the two very likable, the writing was fair but nothing remarkable, and the suspense element was not unique or engaging enough to hold my attention. Add to all this a happy ever after ending that seemed thrown together from random elements, and I was left with a book that I forgot about as soon as I closed it. This ARC was obtained at BEA14, in exchange for an honest review.

not bad-- It is a more in depth views of characters and theories of Hunger Games. Some theories discussed were: Mutations and reality, Katniss as a hero, Peeta and Gale debate, Costumes making the character, society and the book, The Iraq war and Hunger Games, Over consumption, things that I didn't think of when I was reading originally ---but now I have a deeper insight into the characters. I like Hunger Games more.

I was surprised to have enjoyed The Fifth Heart as much as I did. It was long, over 600 pages, and the book was heavy. The two main characters, Sherlock Holmes and Henry James, were not liable characters. Nevertheless the writing was excellent and there was so much description and backstory, both of which I like. Every time I picked up the book I was transported back in time and I existed there happily until I made myself go to bed.

Jake witnessed a murder and caught a photo of the murderer. Because of the photos, he's thrust into a game of cat and mouse with a paid assassin. Can Jake and Cody discover who is murdering lawyers before the assassin finds them? This story is full of twists and turns, and manages to be serious and fun at the same time. It's an action packed thriller, but it was definitely a long book. I feel like it could have been trimmed some and not lose anything from the story. However, I could very much tell that Mark Nolan is from the Bay Area! So many of the phrases that he wrote were identical to the way that I would say the same thing! It made the story very fun for me to read. I received this book through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.

Dreary and uncompelling - utterly unconvincing and all a bit too obvious, sadly. NEXT!

A nice continuation of the story begun in the previous volume.

Read with the kid I babysit. I used to read these books as a child so it was a great memory to re-live with another kid.

I listened to the audio book for this and at first I thought I was going to hate it--I really couldn't stand a lot of the characters-- but it ended up really growing on me! This book doesn't have a lot of hype but if you like the modern day superhero origin story I think this book is really great. The super powers in this book are really unique and it was fascinating to learn how each different one worked--that was definitely my favorite aspect of the book. I thought this book was original and it took me by suprise a couple of times. One thing I will say about the audio book is that I wish they would have cast different voice actors for each point of view, but the person reading did a pretty good job of doing different voices. I might continue on with the series but I'm not sure. I enjoyed reading this but it ended nicely for me and I don't feel that pressured to pick up the next one any time soon.

This is possibly the cutest book I have ever read.
