Back Of Book

My Review

I really liked this book.  When I first started reading it I didn’t think I would like it but I end up really liking it.  It had me sitting on the edge of my seat and once I got to the last few chapters I couldn’t put it down so I stayed up late just to find out how it all ended.  I love the characters and I found that they were super relate able and I could see them being real people.  I hate books where there is no way that the characters could ever be real people because of how the author writes about them.

I would recomend this book to any who likes thrill/mystery books.

PRESCRIPTION TO KILL!

My Review

I loved this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I could not put this book down because the characters are doctors and it is a mystery.  I have never read a book like this before and now I am hooked on them.   I loved the characters and I was sad when one of the main characters gets killed.  I was also rooting for her best friend to figure out who killed her.  Now I knew the main person they thought killed her didn’t do it but I couldn’t figure out who really did it.  Every chapter when they found out something new I would change who I thought did it but I never would have figured out who really did it.  After I found out who did it I just sat there in shock because I never would have guessed in 100 years that they did it.  I also loved how the author wrote a little bit about most of the main characters right at the beginning so you would know a little about them and also so you can go back and look at them if you forget who someone is and how they tie into the story.

I can’t any enough good things about this book!  Everyone needs  to read this book!  Go here and pick the book up you won’t regret it!

The Shadow Of Your Smile

Back Of The Book

As she tries to regain her memory and slowly steps into her role as a wife and mother, Eli helps her readjust to daily life with sometimes-hilarious, sometimes-heartwarming results. But can she fall in love again with a man she can’t remember?
Will their secrets destroy them . . . or has erasing the past given them a chance for a future? Read the story behind the story here.

My Review

I loved this book!!!!!!  This type of book isn’t usually what I like to read but I couldn’t put this book down.  I read it in 3 days and was sad when it was over.  I don’t think are words to describe how I feel about this book.  The characters were so easy for me to relate to and her writing captured me in from the very beginning.  I really didn’t think that I would like this book because like I said it isn’t my usual type of book but I am so glad that I read it and have found this author.  I can’t wait to read more of her books.  If you love romance books I am sure you will like this one.  I has a touch of romance along with a little bit of mystery thrown in.  I can’t say anything else but that I love this book and I know you will as well!

Inner Window: An OSS Adventure

The Inner Window Cover

Inner Window: An OSS Adventure
by R. C. Souther

To the untrained eyes, Colena is a picture of a girl next door enjoying the best years of her life. Navigating the waters of Lake Chelan with her love interest, Bill, and close friends, Larry and Susan, she appears to be at the zenith of her life.

Yet the lake triggers memories of a life deeply locked in the inner recesses of Colena’s mind. The memories, as they unravel, challenge her cherished relationship with Bill.

In Inner Window, by R. C. Souther, we see a young girl thrust in the intrigues and life-and-death games of global espionage, all in the service of her nation during World War II. Barely coming out of it alive, she must race to retrieve her memories in order to gain back control of her own destiny.

Will she be successful in the attempt and gain her freedom, or will she wilt and surrender under the stress and fear of what she might discover about herself?

My Review

This book was hard for me to get into.  For some reason the writing just didn’t grab my attention.  It also took me awhile to get through it because I really couldn’t focus on it.  Now my grandma on the other hand really enjoyed the book so it just wasn’t the right fit for me.  I may try and read it again a little bit later and see if I can get into it.  I would recomend that people at least give this book a shot.  Over all it is a good story and it is interesting as she gets her memories back a little bit at a time.

The Seer

Back Of Book

The Seer
by Martha Harris

Bobbi Wheeler is a psychiatrist who uses her psychic abilities to help her patients deal with depression and grief. This ability to know her patients’ history and inner thoughts through a simple “touch” is the reason behind her successful therapy sessions with satisfied clients.

Bobbi doesn’t always view her abilities as a gift, but a curse, because not all of her dreams are pleasant. She saw her grandfather’s death in a dream when she was young child and tried to prevent it but couldn’t. This started her feelings of helplessness whenever she dreams about dangers involving people she encountered and touched by chance.

While she may know the ways in dealing with emotional pain, she is also somehow battling with her own frailties and inner turmoil, making her long for the ocean and the pleasant things about it to give her peace. It is in one of these trips that she meets Lance Wolfe, a nonbeliever in psychics and a widower who blames himself for the death of his wife in a car accident. His guilt somehow hinders him from loving another woman again. Nonetheless, Bobbi opens his heart once more, but not completely. He seems to have the gift, as it is with him that Bobbi learns she can communicate using thoughts alone and go through someone else’s psychic’s mind.

In one of her visits to Lance’s house in Belford, Bobbi feels like she’s been inside a man who gave her the most horrifying nightmare ever. This man—who for a time she mistook as one of her patients, Tobias Emerson—murders a couple in her dreams. This man has the ability to control minds and although she is able to go inside the dream and prevent him from doing the crime, the man prevails over her and goes ahead with the carnage. After the police get involved, the man has only one thing on his mind—killing her.

My Review

I didn’t think that I would be able to get into this book but once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down.  I loved the characters in this book.  The author did a good job at making the characters relate able and easy liked.  She also did a good job at capturing human emotions with the things the characters went through.  I loved the ending and was actually sad that the book was so short.  I really did fall in love with the characters and I also loved how to she told what happened to each of the characters over the years.  I don’t usually read books over again but this one that I am sure I will read again and keep because it was such a great book.  If you are looking for a great mystery book with a love story thrown in than this is the book for you!

Delve in to find out, but don’t plan on putting this one down until you reach the shattering climax and find out Who Is the Girl in the Picture!

My Review

Let start by saying that I really liked this book.  I am into paranormal things and I love suspense/mystery books.  This book combined all of those areas into one book.  The  authors writing grab me from the beginning and kept me interested through out the whole book.  The story follows 4 friends that have been friends forever trying to figure out who the girl in the picture is that Sam found in the attic at Erin’s parents house.  Sam took the picture because she thought that her best friend Erin looked just like the little girl in the picture.  After Sam takes the picture things start to get super weird and tons of crazy stuff is always happening as they are trying to figure out who the girl is and why Erin’s parents had a picture of her up in their attic.  There was always something going on and I didn’t want to put it down.  The only weird thing with the book was the fact that it just one super long chapter.  I don’t know if you could even call it a chapter because there wasn’t any other ones.  Other than that I loved the book and would recomend it to anyone who likes thrillers.  If you was interested in buying this book you can go here and pick it up!  If you read this  book please let me know what you thought of it!
