 This is such a cute story about 3 generations of women and their mixed up lives that became somewhat normal with the arrival of one man, Dillard Fox. After his arrival, different secrets and twists and turns started to come up from their pasts and mixed their lives up even more. There are moments of happiness and moments of sadness. I was unsure of this book at first but it did not disappoint.

 Another great book in "The Vine Witch" series. In this book, Elena explores the lineage of one of the girls she met in the first book. This book is also full of great detail and twists and turns. I can't wait for the 3rd book to come out.

 The paths of District Attorney Helen Lewis and lawyer Bo Haynes cross when Helen is arrested for the murder of her ex-husband Butch. Bo, just coming out of suspension from the murder of his wife (a murder he had no hand in), is hesitant to take the case. He lost his wife and lost the custody of his kids and is at the lowest of his life. He decides to represent Helen to get going in the right direction. As the trial gets closer, dark secrets start to come to light; an abortion, a prostitution ring, and a rape. What do all of these have in common? Did Helen actually murder Butch? Find out in Legacy of Lies.
This book is full of suspense and twists and turns. I did not want to put it down. It had me at the edge of my seat for the majority of it.

 Another amazing book in The 100 series. I wish this was not the last one. The story kept getting better and better with each book.

 I couldn't put it down. Again, the books are way different than the TV show, but they are still good. They are easy and fast reads and you can tell that they are geared towards a younger audience, but the writing is still great and they are fun.

 The books are so different from the TV Show, but they are still great. I find the books to have more mystery tied in, while the show is more action packed. I'm excited to continue this series.

 First I'd like to say that I highly enjoyed this book. Second, don't read this book expecting it to closely relate to the TV show, or vice versa. There are some different characters and things happened differently. Both are amazing in their own way. I can't say that one is better than the other. I'd honestly say they are equal.

 I have always loved Tom Sawyer and Huck Fin so when my kids said they wanted me to read it to them, I did not hesitate. I still enjoy the story to this day.

 Another amazing book in the Awaken Online series by Travis Bagwell. This one does start off a little slower than the others but it does not take away from the overall greatness of the book. Even through the slow parts, I stayed interested. I don't want this series to end.

 The Awaken Online series just keeps getting better and better. It continues to draw me in with exceptional detail and sudden twists and turns. This series is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I can't wait to continue.
