The story has twists and turns but I just couldn't get interested in the characters. Everybody was bad and no one good.

Get your syrup out because this story is super sweet. Harper Anderson and her family own a flower farm. Luke's sister Annie Martin wants to get married on the farm because the flowers are so beautiful. Luke and Harper argue and disagree but are falling in love.
If you are into super romance movies then you love this book. It was good but to predictable for my tast

The first book is English Tea Murder, Lucy and three of her friends go with a college group to England. But even before they get there one of the group dies on the plane.

This is an especially a good book from Danielle Steel. She can present family life so well.

A comedy of how life really is instead of sugar coating it.

This book includes strange stories through the Midwest and West Virginia. Some of the strange stories include the Mothman, the Beast of Bray Road, and a runestone. Others that I had not heard of were about a turtle, aliens that had pancakes, spaceships. and other stories. Each subject was well covered with the history and people in the area and their views too. This will be especially interesting if you are from this area or know the area.

There are several people in the community that aren't model citizens and may have had something against Dorothy since she was not liked.
This was a good cozy read.

his is a young adult book however be very careful not to let anyone under the age of 14 read this book. The descriptions are very detailed and though the subject matter is real it is disturbing as well. The main character Clara has had a crush on the boy next door Griffin.
I think this information should be given out to the public so people can be aware of it but this book could give nightmares to a younger child.

This is the story of Fox Hollow Farm where Herb Baumeister would pick up guys in gay bars and take them home and and then kill them. Once he killed them he buried them on the farm or burned their bodies. With all of the killings that have taken place at the location it is no wonder that it is haunted. I had seen several tv shows about the farm but didn't have a lot of history. This book helped fill in the gaps.

I cannot express how much I love this series. The characters are so colorful and work so good together. There is action through out the book, you are never bored. The only problem is I read them too fast.
In this one Roadrunner might have found a girlfriend!!! There are hackers going into a currency and stealing money. There is a crazy artist with weird views on women. And a new female character to be friends with the Monkeewrench Crew.

This is the second in a series but this book will stand alone. It was so action packed and I didn't get bored at all and I could not wait to get to the end to see what happened.
On a small island in Maine nothing usually happens but all at once Rory, the only policeman on the island, is kept busy.
I am going to go back and read the first book and cannot wait for book three.

The main character Zoe had a younger sister die when she was a child. And I know that would affect a person but not to the level where her personality went to. Young mother's make mistakes and sometimes have weird ideas but that does not mean they are out to harm their children. Only the last move would be considered harm on purpose. Just because you are young and make mistakes does not mean you have munchausen syndrome by proxy.

You can't go wrong with these books, always enjoyable.

The elderly woman next door is murdered. Fitz Donovan an excop wants to solve the case. He brings his family into the case with him. They find out with help from friends that the neighbor was an important person in the fight againt the Nazis. Other secrets are revealed.

Tom is a farmer in Australia. He doesn't necessarily have good luck with women. He isn't very confident in himself and maybe the women sense this about him. He does have a lot of love to give.
The story started out slow but once Hannah came into the picture it picked up for me.

Her boyfriend Jack lives with her but he complains about the small town and the remodeling of the home. One night a woman shows up and asks for help.

Suspenseful and a few twists you are not expecting to happen.

If you are a fan of Stranger Things like I am you need to get this book. This is my fix until the next episodes come out in July. While I was reading it was like I was watching an episode. I hope this is just the first of many of these books.
Hopper is telling Eleven about his past when he was a detective in New York City. He knows the subject matter is too advanced for Eleven but she is no normal girl.

I love this book and did not want it to end. I encourage everyone that likes uplifting books to read this one, it will make you smile.

This is the first book in the series. Sukey Reynolds is a great character that you can relate to. She is a civilian Scene of Crime Officer that takes photographs of crime scenes. It was a mystery novel that kept me guessing who could be the murderer. There is several peopled killed. I am looking forward to reading more in this
