ONE WAS LOST BY NATALIE D.RICHARDS

I received this book free from goodreads in exchange for a review.ONE WAS LOST BY NATALIE D.RICHARDS is a young adult story (no I am not a young adult) where a group of seniors hiking in the woods with two teachers suddenly find themselves trying to survive, while being hunted by a seemingly unknown killer.

The pace was fast as I continued to flip page after page following the group of four.  I kept wanting to know where is the bad guy going to strike, who is going to die, will they even get out of the woods,which goes to the suspense in the book!

As for the subplot of the book,the relationship of our two main characters, I'm not so sure it was really relevant or necessary to expand the past issues .  Other than that, I really enjoyed the book,the plot and the ending.  Who would have realized?  (no, I'm not telling you who done it!)  Read the book and find out.  I think,even though as and adult you will enjoy this novel.

THE MONOGRAM MURDERS BY SOPHIE HANNAH

THE MONOGRAM MURDERS BY SOPHIE HANNAH.  I have been reading and re reading Agatha Christie mysteries since I was in high school many,many many years ago.  I still watch all the Hercule Poirot movies over and over again and love them still.  I was so pleased to see someone has tried to revive the Hercule Poirot series. I say tried because I think the author missed by a longshot.  I only got halfway thru this book before giving up on it as a lost cause.  I did not see the Hercule Poirot of Christie's but a very pale shadow of  an attempt to revive the character.

  For example: One Poirot would never frequent a dingy diner . Two Poirot would not have left his lodgings & his butler for a so so guesthouse unless on a case.  Three: Poirot would never be hopping a bus period,let alone hop a bus just to clear the mind, he abhors those who run about looking here and there for clues.  The list goes on.  As for the police detective, there is no seasoned policeman that stupid,even Japp had some smarts! Many authors have tried, and succeeded in reviving or taking over a series but Ms Hannah may not be the one to take over the great lady of mystery Agatha Christie's books  I guess re reading my old Christie stories is going to be my only Christie fix for awhile longer.

SOMETHING BURIED SOMETHING BLUE BY WENDY CORSI STAUB

I recieved this book free in exchange for a review.  SOMETHING BURIED,SOMETHING BLUE BY WENDY CORSI STAUB is the second in the Lily Dale mystery series.  Bella Jordan the main character is living now in Lily Dale, a community of psychics mediums and generally nice people.  She agrees to host, organize an try to pull off a wedding for a bridezilla and her soon to be husband.

Somewhere buried in 287 pages is a mystery, but after reading the book its a mystery where !  We did finally manage to find a victim after fourteen chapters of the book. I love a good mystery and I love to be kept in suspense but fourteen chapters is just a tad too much reading trying to slog thru to find four chapters (the last four) on the deadly deed and who done it.

THE HAUNTING OF BECHDEL MANSION: A HAUNTED HOUSE MYSTERY - BOOK 0 BY ROGER HAYDEN

I recieved this book free in exchange for a review.  THE HAUNTING OF BECHDEL MANSION: A HAUNTED HOUSE MYSTERY - BOOK 0  BY ROGER HAYDEN is the first in a serialized series about Bechdel mansion, where a horrendous murder occurred during a wedding rehearsal party back in the 70's

This book starts with the history of the Bechdel's and fast forwards to "present" day when a young couple moves into the house.  Mary Malone and her husband Curtis are the main characters of the story,Mary with a talent of psychic abilities is the main protagonist in the story as well as the house itself.

I love haunted horror stories.  The fact that this is a serialized series makes no never mind to me.  The cliffhanger ending to this book makes it even more of a teaser when it comes to the mystery part of it.

The characters are from everyday life,each depicted as accurate and genuine as if meeting them on a street.  This is a perfect series for the Halloween scene, an easy read & a really good book.

NIGHT WATCH FOR IRIS & ROY JOHANSEN

First off, I recieved this book from goodreads free in exchange for a review.  Now that that is out of the way I HAVE to tell you about NIGHT WATCH BY IRIS & ROY JOHANSEN.  This is the fourth book in the Kendra Michaels series but a first time read for me. And boy was I hooked!  ( I ordered 1-3 yesterday!)

Kendra Michaels,  born blind & lived her life that way for twenty years, when the miracles of miracles happened when Dr. Charles Waldridge came into her life with a new procedure to give her the gift of sight.  Kendra, with her new found sight seems to find trouble, or in this case it finds her.  Dr. Waldridge comes to her telling her that they are in grave danger.  Kendra wants to help and she calls on her friend in the FBI to help her.  Then Lynch shows. Sexy hot and mysterious Lynch comes back just in the nick of time because Kendra becomes a target as well.

I fell in real deep with this series and hope with its action,adventure & good and bad characters keeps going strong.  Page after page I read, immersed in Kendra's latest action packed book.  Characters that I sit there night after night reading and hoping Kendra finds her friend without getting killed herself.  Sitting there night after night so absorbed in the story I lost track of time I was so engrossed. This one's a kick ass book!  If you are a action packed book fan this ones for you.

THE DAUGHTER OF UNION COUNTY BY FRANCINE THOMAS HOWARD

i recieved this book THE DAUGHTER OF UNION COUNTY BY FRANCINE THOMAS HOWARD from goodreads free in exchange for a review.

I loathe to write a bad review on a book because I dont want to hurt anyones career,but its my promise to goodreads that I do so.

I struggled to get through this because to me it was beyond boring.  No highlights stick out in my mind as there were really no highlights to the story. I pretty much have forgotten the book already and I finished it yesterday,after much struggle.

If you go for one dimensional truly snoring characters with no redeemable qualities then this one's for you , if not, dont bother
