"Grabbed me by the throat & didn't let go..." - Tami Hoag

The Surgeon Review
♥   
The Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen was really good! It's a Rizzoli & Isles series and if you've seen the TV show Rizzoli and Isles then you would know a little of what the books are going to be about. Now this book wasn't an episode as of yet, but it does kinda go with the TV show. Anyway the book was just a good book! It started off with a successful physician named Catherine Cordell who was nearly murdered a few years back in Savannah but lived to tell the tale because she blew her attacker away before he could finish the job. With her attacker's death, the string of grotesque torture-murders ends in Savannah, but then resurfaces in Boston. Which is just where Cordell now resides. The new murderer, nicknamed "The Surgeon", moves through Boston like air carrying out his sick fantasies that are identical to the string of murders in Savannah. You'd think it were the same killer, but how could it be? Well you'd have to read the book to see how it ends! I will give you a spoiler here, towards the end something had happened to Rizzoli that goes with something that had happened in the TV show. It has to do with her hands. That is all I will tell you! Also Isles isn't in this book at all, she wasn't mention at all throughout the book so I'm not sure why but I would hope that in the next book she'll be introduced. Another thing that was in the book is that every once awhile, in italics there would be a few paragraphs of what was going through the killer's mind and that kinda gave you a "look" into the killer's mind and it was interesting. I will definitely be buying the next book and possibly the whole series as I get into the books!

three charming angels often find themselves in trouble...

Where Angels Go Review
   
Just finished reading Where Angels Go by Debbie Macomber! It was really really good! I loved it! When I was reading something online about her and to see what other books she has written I saw that she has dyslexia ( for those who do not know what dyslexia means, go here. But basicaly it means that it impairs a person's ability to read. and she has over 130 million copies of her books in print! I was amazed that she was able write so many books with dyslexia andraising four kids! I will deffinely be reading many more of her books! I don't know why I've never read of her books before!
This book is about these three angels, Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy who are trying to help three different people who sent a prayer to God for something in their life. The book is part of the Angel Series. I didn't know until about half way through the book when I wanted to learn more about the author. In the book, Mercy is to help an elderly man who is dying of old age and needs help trying to get his wife to move into an assisted home so she's not alone in the house. Goodness is helping this young woman who been through a divorce over 10 years ago and she meets a guy on the internet but she is afriad of commitment. Shirley is trying to help a little boy who wants a puppy. I'm not going to really give any more because I'll end up telling the whole story and how it ended but I will tell you this, make sure you have tissues near by! This is a really good book and I plan on buying some more of her books, maybe the rest of the Angel Series books! I also have a book called Mrs. Miracle so I'll probably read that book next!

A Romance of Many Dimensions





Flatland Review

So I couldn't even finish reading the book! It was that bad! It was really boring. I had a hard time staying interested in it. My math teacher said it was a good book but I guess you have to be a math freak to like it. It was all about shapes and dimensions. Not my kind of thing I guess. So this review is short!

This is No Dream...

Ghost Walk Review
Ghost Walk by Heather Graham was a great book! I mean it was sooo good that when I was at CVS today looking for some batteries that I stopped by the books and I saw a book by Heather Graham that I just had to buy it! The book was about this woman, Nikki who's a manager of a New Orleans haunter tour company and in the middle of the night, she is awoken by her friend, Andy who was begging for help. The next day, Nikki finds out that her friend was killed at the same time that her friend was in her room. No one believes her except for one person and that is Brent, a paranormal investigator. The book is about Ghosts. That is not a spoiler, I mean the title of the book "Ghost Walk" is the spoiler. Anyway, Andy works with Nikki at the haunted tour and was killed by an overdosed of some type of drug ( I don't believe what kind of drug killed was mentioned in the book ) and Nikki is the only person that believes that someone had killed her and that it wasn't an accidental death. Brent, later comes back home to his hometown New Orleans to investigate the death of an FBI agent who was killed the same way that Andy was killed and believes that they are connected to each other somehow. Throughout the book, there was three main ghosts in the book and the only people that could see them was Nikki and Brent. With the help of the ghosts Brent is able to assist the police officers solve the murders of Andy and the agent. The book was good, loved how she put some of the New Orleans history in it( Even though I live in Louisiana, I cannot tell you if the history that been mentioned in the book is true or not ). She defiantly knew how to catch a person's attention and I didn't lose interest at all throughout the book.

she'll have to take the chance of a lifetime with her heart...

Happy Ever After Review
 So last night I finished Happy Ever After by Nora Roberts! I loved it!! It is book four of the Bride Quartet series and I've already read the other three books but I'll give you an overview of all four books then my review of this book. All four books is about these four best friends who turned their childhood game Wedding Day into their dream jobs. The first book was about Mac who is the photographer of The Vows. The second one is about Emma who is the florist of The Vows and the third one is about Laurel who is the baker. This book is about Parker, the face of the Vows, she is the one who takes care of the bride and their demanding needs. She basically the wedding planner. And each book is all about how they met their future soulmate but also the first three would give like a foreplay of what to expect in the next book.
Now onto to this book! I loved how this book started off, the prologue of the book was about how the Vows became a reality for the best friends. Parker was the one who had the whole plan laid out and was ready to talk her friends into making their childhood game the real thing. We all pretty much know that The Vows did happen (that is if you'd read the first three books you would know that lol) but we didn't know how it became. Then it goes into the first chapter which gives us an idea of what a wedding planner does. A bride calls her early in the morning, I believed it said that it was 5 something am. which shows us that wedding planners pretty much work 24/7 and in this book Parker is working 24/7! She not only takes care of the planning part of the wedding, she basically help the bride or groom if they have any problems and she also takes care of her friends, well they all take care of each other. If one is mad or sad the others are going to know about it and they're going to do something about it. anyway, she meets Malcolm in the last book and it started off with Parker trying to piss her older brother off and she kisses Malcolm. Of course at the time she only did it to make her brother mad but there was a spark between them when they kissed. But they didn't explore that spark until this book. Malcolm is a mechanic and a close friend of her brother. All through the book Malcolm is making the first move by catching her off guard by kissing her and she keeps pushing him away until she starts spending time with him and talking with him and with him always being around, helping with any wedding events or just to see her, she starts to open up and of course we all know what's going to happen, they end up being together. Of course not every relationship goes without problems, ( while I'm not going to state the problems they did have some fights about some things ) but they were able to fix the problems. That is all I'm going to say about this book except for one little spoiler for those who haven't read the book, only Mac's wedding happened in this book which was awesome but I would have loved for another book just to finish up the whole series to have the other three's weddings. Overall I loved this book and its hard to not hate this book, I mean it's every girl's dream to get married and to read a book about weddings and the happiness in the book is just a perfect book to read!

Brinkley Harper Isn't Feeling Herself Today.

Jump Book Review
♥    
So I started reading Jump by Ginger Rue last night and I couldn't put it down!! I ended up finishing around midnight last night! That's how good it was! "Jump into this fun, freaky, fast-paced story about a self-absorbed teen who finds out what it's like to literally become someone else - over and over again!" That's what author of the Dead Girl series, Linda Joy Singleton said about the book! And it's totally awesome and I've never read a book like this ever! It's about a girl, Brinkley Harper, who woke up in another person's body. It's about a rich girl who woke up in many other people's body and live their life just for one day. The book was really fast paced, there wasn't any slow or boing parts throughout the book which I liked. Ginger put all of the problems that many teens would have in their life, she didn't just focused on the rich and skinny, popular girl. She focused on those that were "outcast" or "fat" and a few others. To me this also had magical feeling to it as well. I mean waking up in another person's body? that doesn't happen everyday and so it's kinda like one of those "witch" book but there's no witches in this book at all, it just had that magical feeling to it. Ginger Rue is a good author and I'll be on the lookout for any of her other books if she does write more! so if I were you, I'd go out and buy this book or check it out from the local library!
