THE ROW BY J.R.JOHANSSON

THE ROW BY J.R. JOHANSSON is told in the perspective of Riley, the child of a serial killer on death row, or is he serial killer ?  Riley , who was six when her father was arrested , tried and convicted of being a serial killer, is now seventeen & her father is one month away from being executed for the brutal murders of women.  Riley up to this point has always stood by her father,visiting him weekly in prison & determined to prove his innocence.  When the last appeal has been denied Riley's father tells her that he did commit the murders.  Riley, shaken by the confession sets out to prove he's lying about that so he can make his punishment for the murders easier on her.
The story is told in the perspective of the child of a serial killer.  Its a different perspective. Usually its told by the killer or the police.  Here we see the child's point of view. How people treat her like a serial killer herself, whether at work or in the neighborhood. 
The more you get into the book the more you want to see Riley's dad found innocent. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and wanting to know more.  Its then ending of the book that really blew me out of the water.

DOWNSTAIRS AT THE WHITE HOUSE:THE STORY OF A TEENAGER,AN OVAL OFFICE AND A RINGSIDE SEAT TO WATERGATE BY DONALD M STINSON

DOWNSTAIRS AT THE WHITE HOUSE:THE STORY OF A TEENAGER,AN OVAL OFFICE AND A RINGSIDE SEAT TO WATERGATE BY DONALD M STINSON, tells the "downstairs" version of working in the White House, EOB & the Watergate disaster.  The book is not only the story of Mr.Stinson, teenager, college student and White House "help"  but it tells of history in the making, plus the history of the White House, EOB.  You get to feel what it is really like working as a "gofer."  Mr. Stinson not only wrote about Watergate from his perspective but lived it. 

I found the book not only very informative about the workings of our government, but some of the stories and some of the situations Mr.Stenson gets into totally hilarious!

 As a rule I dont do many biographies, or autobiographies because they can be kinda dry at times .However, Mr.Stinson has injected stories in his, using his experiences & made this book a VERY good read!

YEAR ONE BY NORA ROBERTS

YEAR ONE (CHRONICLES OF THE ONE) BY NORA ROBERTS is well off her beaten track of romances,but let me say that I was highly impressed with the book!  My mom listened to the audio and told me to get it that it is right up my alley!  Ms Roberts, who is well known for her romances as well as her alter ego JD ROBB her murder mysteries has taken a big step into the realm of dystopian/fantasy and come up with a HIT! When I started the book I thought ho hum another version of virus, mass deaths people hitting the road but as I got into the book I found that this is not your typical disaster book. Once the book got rolling it was fast paced & surprises at every turn.  Characters that you meet on the street they are so believable.  You want these people to win. You want them to succeed!  But we dont always get what we wish for do we?  As I said before, Ms Roberts has taken a huge leap into another genre & come out with a winner! I cant wait for book two!

SCORCHED SHADOWS (HELLEQUIN CHRONICLES #7) BY STEVE MCHUGH

SCORCHED SHADOWS(HELLEQUIN CHRONICLES #7) BY STEVE MCHUGH.

First off let me say how I was not looking forward to reading the final series book in the Hellequin Chronicles since I have read all of them and look forward to reading more!  Second, this is not the end , but the beginning of something I hope is just a good as the Hellequin Chronicles.

 This book answered questions not only for the reader but for Nate Garrett as well.  I like that it wasnt all Nate this and Nate that but we got to learn more about some of the key characters or the "people" surrounding Nate as well.  Mordred, who was a real nasty dude is actually trying to make amends and win back friends tells his side of the story. 
The plot involved the humans as well as the sorcerers & "beings" that makes up Nates world.  It has just as much kick ass action in it with Nate and his friends going after a group hell bent in blaming the Hellequin for all the death and destruction in our Earth realm as well as other realm's.

This one deserves more than five stars and a must read for anyone who likes the fast paced action in McHugh's books

TRUE CRIME:HOMICIDE AND TRUE CRIME STORIES OF 2016 BY JACK ROSEWOOD

TRUE CRIME: HOMICIDE & TRUE CRIME STORIES OF 2016 BY JACK ROSEWOOD is an audiobook on some of the lesser and not so lesser known homicides of 2016 .  I am a huge fan of true crime stories, morbid I know, and Mr.Rosewood does one heck of a job researching and getting the nitty gritty of not only crimes of passion but high profile (fbi killer).  He lays the facts before the reader in a succinct precise way that turns this audiobook into an entertaining read.
