These things hidden by Heather Gudenkauf

Wow Wow Wow! Another grand slam for Heather Gudenkauf. A twisted tale of love, lies, betrayal and devotion. I think I have a new favorite author. I will definitely recommend this book!

Play Dead by Harlan Coben

WOW! I think that's a good word for this book. This is a book that Harlan Coben wrote but never published - I'm not sure what made him to decide to publish it now but I'm glad he did. It was really good. I must say that I thought some of it was a little far fetched but Harlan does a very good job at stringing you along with no clear answers for a long time leaving you guessing the whole time.

Definite recommend for anyone who likes a good mystery/suspense.

Shatter by Michael Robotham

Let me just say that if I could, I would give this book 6 stars! Fantastic thriller. I haven't read a thriller this good in a long long time. This author scares me with the way he thinks and his ability to write it. It was creepy, scary and funny at times with likable characters. I will definitely read more of his work. Someone said this book was predictable and I found it to be anything BUT predictable and I really like that in a book. I couldn't put it down.

I will definitely recommend this book to anyone!

Second Time Around by Beth Kendrick

Ok. Let's see. I thought this was a very cute book. It was filled with happiness, sadness, love, hate, drama, scandal and, of course, sex. I only gave it 4 stars bc I didn't think there was anything superb about it, just chick-lit but it was still cute. The one problem I had was trying to keep all the girls (and their men) straight. I would definitely recommend.

Me & Emma by Elizabeth Flock

I loved this book. I loved both girls but thought Emma was my favorite - what a little whippersnapper. I'm sure I'll read more by this author. Held my interest all the way through with some very hard topics.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett

What a wonderful book. I loved the characters, they were all so well defined and I was able to laugh and cry with them.

This is a story about a young girl, Skeeter, who wants to be a reporter and has to come up with a good story in order to get published so she decides to interview "The Help" - or the maids - to get their point of view. At first they are afraid to talk because of the consequences that they will pay but slowly, one at a time, they tell their story.

It's so sad to think we lived in those times and treated other human beings that way.


Highly recommend.
