Lies by T.M. Logan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Joe Lynch stumbles across his wife driving into a hotel car park while she's supposed to be at work, he's intrigued enough to follow her in.

And when he witnesses her in an angry altercation with family friend Ben, he knows he ought to intervene.

But just as the confrontation between the two men turns violent, and Ben is knocked unconscious, Joe's young son has an asthma attack - and Joe must flee in order to help him.

When he returns, desperate to make sure Ben is OK, Joe is horrified to find that Ben has disappeared.

And that's when Joe receives the first message . . .

Wow! Fast paced and very intriguing. I could not stop reading. Who is lying and who isn't. We are reading this in Joe's perspective and what he is doing. Ben has a very bad reputation for being ruthless and getting what he wants. Joe is an English teacher and very mild mannered. When the police start questioning him and he finds himself under investigation then Joe feels he has no choice but to take his clues and investigate on his own. With his marriage on the line and a son who is also scared but who joe will do anything for, this book keeps you on the edge of your seat.

The Secrets We Keep by Kate Hewitt review

The Secrets We Keep by Kate Hewitt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Tessa arrives at the little house by the lake with her two children Ben and Katherine, it is an escape. For all of them. Never mind that the rental house is a bit small – it’s theirs for the summer. A place to hide…

Their isolation is disrupted when they meet the family from the big house next door. Three children Charlotte, Zoe and Max and their glamorous mother Rebecca – who seems absolutely determined to invite Tessa in to their lives.

But Rebecca is harbouring a dark secret of her own. One that will put not only her family at risk, but Tessa’s too. And when she discovers she has no option but to leave her children for several weeks, Tessa feels like the only person she can trust.

Suddenly Tessa finds herself living a life she could only have dreamed of. Wealth, a large brood of children, and Rebecca’s handsome husband Josh visiting at weekends.

But even as powerful bonds are forming between them, secrets have a way of catching up with people. And as the summer comes to an end, who will learn to love again and who will risk losing everything?

Wow! A very emotional read. First of all both of the women in this book needed each other at this time to deal with whatever their demons are. Rebecca's problems get worse and her husband puts matters into his own hands and Tessa is the one to pick up the pieces. The children all had some kind of emotional baggage because of their moms and they have to deal with that. One frightful evening turns both of their lives upside down. Can they get through this and keep the relationship they formed.
The author kept mentioning the finger lakes but never what lake it was but since I went to school to Geneseo and lived on Conesus Lake during that time then I knew that had to be the lake she was talking about. SO yes Geneseo has a big Walmart and a Bear fountain in the middle of main street. The only things they don't have is a yacht club or a country club that was described. There are only 2 country clubs and they only have golf and restaurants, No pool or tennis so I did have to remember this book was also fiction. Also the mention of Seabreeze amusement park and the Jack Rabbit roller coaster brought back childhood memories. Why they had to go to a spa all the way in Syracuse that was 2 hours away instead of Rochester, which is 30 minutes away didn't make sense either but then again I was thinking of things I would do that was closer.

Vampires Like It Hot Blog Tour

New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands brings the heat in this new Argeneau novel, as one woman is rescued by an irresistible immortal …

“Vampires…”

When Raffaele Notte pulls a barely dressed, disoriented woman from the ocean, the last thing he expects is for her to utter that word. The immortal has come to the island resort to help his cousin, but now, it seems, there are rogue vampires dining on unsuspecting tourists. And he soon realizes that not only is Jess a target, she’s also the life mate he’s been waiting for…

Vampires are real. Jess would’ve never believed it until she saw them with her own eyes. She knows she has to get off the island, and her gallant rescuer has offered to help. There’s something about Raffaele that’s unlike any man she has ever met, and his touch sends pleasure through her that is beyond all imagining. But when Jess discovers who he really is, will she risk life as she knows it for a chance of forever by his side?

MY THOUGHTS:

Very steamy and sexy. When Jess is picked up by the Vampire pirates she is appalled by what she sees. Then the captain wants her to be his lifemate but the language and his lack of hygiene turns her off only to escape right into the arms of Raffaele. We all know who he and his cousins are but she doesn't. As she becomes dependent on him and his cousins we see the relationship form. We also find that they do not consider themselves vampires but immortals. A difference. The only thing that bugged me is at the beginning Raffaele is on the beach under an umbrella and says he can't go in the sun. But throughout the rest of the book they are walking in daylight.

Hunting Houses by Franny Britt review

Hunting Houses by Fanny Britt
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Tessa is a thirty-seven-year-old real estate agent living in Montreal. She adores her husband and three young sons, but she’s deeply unhappy and questioning the set of choices that have led to her present life.

After a surprising run-in with Francis, her ex-boyfriend and first love, Tessa arranges to see him. During the three days before their meeting, she goes about her daily life — there’s swimming lessons, science projects, and dirty dishes. As the day of her meeting with Francis draws closer she has to decide if she is willing to disrupt her stable, loving family life for an uncertain future with him.

What can I say? BORING!! by the time I got to the end of the book I could care less about Tess. This book was so slow and so boring I wanted to stop reading. Jumping from one subject to another drove me nuts. I couldn't tell what she was talking about. So she has a good marriage, 3 beautiful sons who are about perfect. A Real Estate career and a husband who adores her. I wanted to shout out to her to grow up and shut the F up.

The Goodnight Song by Nick Hollis review

The Goodnight Song by Nick Hollin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gifted criminal profiler Nathan Radley has a unique way of thinking that allows him to empathize with the twisted killers he helps capture.

But Nathan a dark secret. He has more in common with the criminals he hunts than anyone could dare to imagine. He lives in constant fear of losing control of his own dark desires...

When the headless body of a policeman is dragged from the Thames – an exact enactment of one of his oldest and darkest fantasies, only ever confessed in the pages of his teenage diary – Nathan finds himself the main suspect in the most twisted case of his career.

Someone has his diary and is leaking pages to frame him for the disturbing murders he has spent his whole career trying not to commit.

As more bodies surface and more extracts are released, Nathan has no choice but to go in search of the killer to clear his name. He knows it’s someone dangerous, he knows it’s someone he trusted, but how many precious lives will be lost before he can work out who?

Ok wow, so many characters and who to choose from of who did it. Who is writing the blog? So many questions and tooks so long to find answers. I did not read the first book but I felt like I learned enough to know what was going on in this book. Nathan and Katie are messed up emotionally and physically from their past. Hiding away from everything and everyone I think made things worse. But someone has found them and now it up to them to figure out who.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It has been a difficult few years for thirty-year-old Megan Forrester, completing her apprenticeship and trying to maintain a long-distance relationship with her gorgeous boyfriend, Liam.

She’s returned home to compete in a local craft competition. The prize is the chance to design beautiful new gates for the estate at the bottom of the hill, a job which could secure her future in the village forever.

As the contest gets underway, Megan is devastated when a rival design turns out to be almost identical to hers. Someone in the close-knit community must have leaked her sketches, but who? Is it the same person spreading heartbreaking rumors about Liam?

October Kiss by Kristen Ethridge review

October Kiss: Based on the Hallmark Channel Original Movie by Kristen Ethridge
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Poppy’s tried a lot of things. Yoga instruction. Pizza making. So far, none of them have seemed like her thing. Still, she doesn’t have to know where her life is headed to live it with enthusiasm.

Ever since his wife’s death, Ryan’s thrown himself into his work. Launching a successful new app will secure his children’s future…even if it means he can’t spend much time with them now.

As a short-term nanny for Ryan’s children, Poppy brings some much-needed fun and laughter. She’s never been one to commit, so why is she feeling so attached to these children…and even more, to their dad? Could it be she’s found her place at last?

Poppy is such a fun character and how she makes the kids feel is a warm feeling. But as she starts falling for Ryan and he starts falling for her things get complicated by Ryan's associate who is very interested in Ryan. This story made you want to be there and be a part of all the fun shopping for Halloween decorations and pumpkins. Putting up all the decorations and making costumes. I do remember watching this Hallmark movie and enjoying it.

The Boy At The Door by Alex Dahl review

The Boy at the Door by Alex Dahl
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Cecilia Wilborg has it all--a loving husband, two beautiful daughters, and a gorgeous home in an affluent Norwegian suburb. And she works hard to keep it all together. Too hard...

There is no room for mistakes in her life. Even taking home a little boy whose parents forgot to pick him up at the pool can put a crimp in Cecilia's carefully planned schedule. Especially when she arrives at the address she was given
and finds an empty, abandoned house...

There's nothing for Cecilia to do but to take the boy home with her, never realizing that soon his quiet presence and knowing eyes will trigger unwelcome memories from her past--and unravel her meticulously crafted life...

I felt this book was slow for me. I couldn't connect with any of the characters. I did not feel bad for Cecilia at all. Everything that ever comes out of her mouth is lies. One lie leads to more. If she had been upfront and honest at the first mistake then her life would have been way better. The only ones I felt bad for were the children.

A Stranger In The House by Shari Lapena review

A Stranger in the House by Shari Lapena
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Karen and Tom Krupp are happy—they’ve got a lovely home in upstate New York, they’re practically newlyweds, and they have no kids to interrupt their comfortable life together. But one day, Tom returns home to find Karen has vanished—her car’s gone and it seems she left in a rush. She even left her purse—complete with phone and ID—behind.

There's a knock on the door—the police are there to take Tom to the hospital where his wife has been admitted. She had a car accident, and lost control as she sped through the worst part of town.

The accident has left Karen with a concussion and a few scrapes. Still, she’s mostly okay—except that she can’t remember what she was doing or where she was when she crashed. The cops think her memory loss is highly convenient, and they suspect she was up to no good.

Karen returns home with Tom, determined to heal and move on with her life. Then she realizes something’s been moved. Something’s not quite right. Someone’s been in her house. And the police won't stop asking questions.

Because in this house, everyone’s a stranger. Everyone has something they’d rather keep hidden. Something they might even kill to keep quiet.

Wow, so much going on in this book. A neighbor as a stalker and in love with her neighbor and will do anything to get him. I really liked Tom even though I did get a little upset with the behavior with his neighbor. Karen, I never really knew what to believe. But the very end there is a twist that will have your mouth drop open. I highly recommend this book.

Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Andrea knows everything about her mother, Laura. She knows she’s spent her whole life in the small beachside town of Belle Isle; she knows she’s never wanted anything more than to live a quiet life as a pillar of the community; she knows she’s never kept a secret in her life. Because we all know our mothers, don’t we?

But all that changes when a trip to the mall explodes into violence and Andrea suddenly sees a completely different side to Laura. Because it turns out that before Laura was Laura, she was someone completely different. For nearly thirty years she’s been hiding from her previous identity, lying low in the hope that no one would ever find her. But now she’s been exposed, and nothing will ever be the same again.

The police want answers and Laura’s innocence is on the line, but she won’t speak to anyone, including her own daughter. Andrea is on a desperate journey following the breadcrumb trail of her mother’s past. And if she can’t uncover the secrets hidden there, there may be no future for either one of them. . . .

After the incident at the mall Laura tells ANdrea to move out and away from her. She is 31 and needs to be out on her own. So as Andrea is getting ready to move out a strange occurrence happens which puts her on the run. To where she isn't certain but not always following her mom's plan. As she is on the run she meets up with people from Laura's past and finds out things she never knew about her mom. I sat and read this pretty much in 1 day.

It All Comes Back To You by Beth Duke review

It All Comes Back to You by Beth Duke
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The hidden ties that bind our lives together are the most intriguing. This is a story full of secret, silken threads between many people.

Meet Violet.

She was stunningly beautiful. She was like a grandmother to Ronni. She inspired her every day.

She spent her final years in a nursing home, surrounded by men who worshipped her as a girl. They still did.

Everybody loved her.

And now that she’s gone, she’s challenged Ronni to be the author she always wanted to be, by writing Violet’s life story.

That’s when the threads start to unwind.

Wow, great story. Loved Ronni but was scared that her new boyfriend might not be the person we think he is. Going back in time to learn about Violet was also great and learning who the person she was. She had a lot of loves in her life and lost the ones she should have had. But the one who loved her the most will come as a shock. Ronni uncovers a lot of Violets past which also leads her to new friends. Can Ronni meet the expectations that Violet put in her will?

Christmas In Evergreen by Nancy Naigle book review

Christmas In Evergreen by Nancy Naigle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A snowy small town.

A snow globe that grants wishes.

A love that’s meant to be.

Evergreen, Vermont is about to be in the rearview mirror of Allie Shaw’s vintage red pickup truck. It’s hard to say goodbye to her small town and her veterinarian practice, but she’s moving to Washington D.C., where her big-city-loving boyfriend lives.

Ever since Ryan Bellamy’s wife died, he hardly knows how to celebrate Christmas. He’s decided to take his daughter Zoe to Florida, and Evergreen is just a quick stop on the way to the airport. While they’re there, Zoe partakes in a local tradition, making a Christmas wish on the snow globe at the town diner.

But neither Allie’s nor Ryan’s Christmas goes as planned. They’ve checked their wish lists twice, and they didn’t say anything about meeting someone new…or about a fresh chance at love.

As their flights keep getting cancelled due to the weather Allie gets to know Ryan and Zoe. They spend a lot of time together and Allie shows Ryan how Christmas should be and Zoe has the best time . Allie also needs to decide should she move to DC or just stay in Evergreen , where her heart is. I do remember seeing this movie on Hallmark and I think the book and movie are pretty well the same.

A Christmas To Remember by Rebecca Moesta review

A Christmas to Remember: Based on the Hallmark Channel Original Movie by Rebecca Moesta
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jennifer needs a break. The perfectionist TV star heads to a mountain retreat for a restful, relaxing holiday. But when she gets caught in a blizzard and crashes her car, Jennifer is left with more than a wreck; she’s left with amnesia.

John, a small-town veterinarian and single dad, finds the confused Jennifer wandering on the road. He’s used to taking care of others; he’s built for this. When he takes her in, he and his children give her more than shelter…they try to help her figure out who she is.

As Jennifer and John make new memories, their connection to one another grows. But how can they even think about romance when they don’t know her true identity?

If you love Hallmark Christmas movies then this is a must read. It is a feel good book. Jennifer doesn't remember her name or have any memories of her life. John and his kids take her in and start falling for her as she does for their family. As they make new memories she helps heal John's family. I loved the characters in this book and all the Christmas memories in it.

Ghost Virus by Graham Masterton review

Ghost Virus by Graham Masterton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Samira was a young woman with her whole life ahead of her. What could have brought her to this? DC Jerry Pardoe and DS Jamila Patel of Tooting Police suspect it's suicide. But then a meek husband kills his wife, and the headteacher of the local school throws her pupils out of a window. It's no longer a random outbreak of horrific crimes. It's a deadly virus. And it's spreading. Somehow, ordinary Londoners are being infected with an insatiable lust to murder. All of the killers were wearing second-hand clothes. Could these garments be possessed by some supernatural force?

The death count is multiplying. Now Jerry and Jamila must defeat the ghost virus, before they are all infected...

Seems that clothes have been possessed and on a killing spree. This book is very gory but well written. I did enjoy the story but felt it was dragged just a little bit. Also the ending left you hanging. I have heard of Graham Masterton but I had not read any of this books before. I was given this book from the publisher for a review.

It took 30 years to get his revenge. You find out what happened to his parents since his disappearance and the lives the bullies led since then.

Under A Dark Sky by Lori Rader-Day book review

Under a Dark Sky by Lori Rader-Day
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Since her husband died, Eden Wallace's life has diminished down to a tiny pinprick, like a far-off star in the night sky. She doesn't work, has given up on her love of photography, and is so plagued by night terrors that she can't sleep without the lights on. Everyone, including her family, has grown weary of her grief. So when she finds paperwork in her husband's effects indicating that he reserved a week at a dark sky park, she goes. She's ready to shed her fear and return to the living, even if it means facing her paralyzing phobia of the dark.

But when she arrives at the park, the guest suite she thought was a private retreat is teeming with a group of twenty-somethings, all stuck in the orbit of their old college friendships. Horrified that her get-away has been taken over, Eden decides to head home the next day. But then a scream wakes the house in the middle of the night. One of the friends has been murdered. Now everyone—including Eden—is a suspect.

Everyone is keeping secrets, but only one is a murderer. As mishaps continue to befall the group, Eden must make sense of the chaos and lies to evade a ruthless killer—and she'll have to do it before dark falls…

I read this all in one day because I really wanted to know who the murderer was and what all the secrets were that the friends were keeping. You also find out that Eden's marriage wasn't all that great and how she was manipulated throughout the marriage and now her own sister is trying to control her life. Will Eden live the life she wants and come to turns with the dark and actually find a job/career that she wants.

I received this from William Morrow publishing for an honest review.
