A Touch of Sage


Well if your up for fluffy romance this is right up your alley! So I am not usually big on romance novels, but every now and then I throw one in just to change it up a bit. This book is an old fashioned romance, kind of little house on the prairie style, but with some cowboy romance! I laughed, and cried, and I liked it a lot! Most of her books the heroines drive me nuts! They are spineless fluffy heads! But this one isn't so bad. So if you need a good fluffy book this one is great!

The Reckoning


This is the last book in the darkent powers series. It is only a trilogy and they are all out. This was by far the best book of the series, lots of action, a little romance, and super creepy. I highly recommended it. In this book they resolve most of the conflict with the characters. However they do not end the genetic testing laboratory.She is writing a new book called "the Gathering" it comes out 2011. Same world, same people genetic testing supernatural, but in another city. It looks good I am excited.

The Awakening


This is the 2nd book in the darkest powers series. It really starts to get into the meat of the story. It is the adventure of 4 run away teens with supernatural powers. They have been genetically altered to be more powerful. This series has a lot of action, a little love, and a little creepy. I think it is one of my new favorites.

The Summoning


So I just finished this book, and I really liked it! It is a "Sixth Sense" kind of book. She sees dead people! But it isn't a recap of the movie, the author throws in werewolves, witches, and sorcery to the mix. It is a little creepy, but over 13 years old should be able to handle it. No swearing, no sex, good clean scary. The first book lacks a little on the plot side though. It is a trilogy and the author pretty much sets up the rest of the books in the first book. So I suggest having access to book 2 and 3 because it stops in the middle of the story. Unfortunately I didn't take my own advice and only have book 2. So I am also awaiting the ending of this series.

The thirteenth tale



So I am not sure what to say about this one. It is very different. It is very captivating, I could't put it down. But it is on the disturbing side. It is about a girl who was asked to write the biography of a famous writer, who seems to have no past. However, once her past unfolds it is a mystery until the very end. The book is fairly clean, as far as language goes. The plot however is disturbing, incest implied throughout. The author though is an amazing writer! Even the boring parts suck you in with her explicit writing. Definitely one of the best written books I have read in a long time. Disturbing, but I think I liked it. Anyone else read this?

Seven Miracles that Saved America


Ok you history buffs are going to love this one. It is such a good book, everyone should know this information about our country and forefathers. It truly tells of the great miracle our country is. A great gift idea! It is a little on the dry side, it is history after all. The author did try to spice it up a little, but even so. I still suggest reading it. I think I would have liked to listen to it on tape more.

Size 12 isn't fat



Well this is what I would call a comical mystery. It was OK! There are defiantly some funny parts in it, but I think that the author is a little crass. The plot is pretty basic. The main character used to be famous, but now is working in a dorm at a college to save money for school. When she helps to solve a murder that happens at the dorm. And she like to eat (which is the funny part). But the author gets a little overboard with being size 12 in my opinion. There is a sequel "Size 14 isn't fat either". I actually only read half and then when it was the same plot and nothing really new I moved on. So not a must read, there are better books out there.
