11th Hour BY James Patterson & Maxine Paetro

I liked most of the Women's murder club books but this one may very well be the best of the lot Patterson is the master of mystery. Another fast paced story from James Patterson as we rejoined with the four women of the "Women's Murder Club" in this sequel "11th Hour". In 11th Hour , we find out that Lindsey Boxer is pregnant with hubby Joe's baby , Cindy is engaged to Rich Conklin , Yuki is sleeping with Lindsey's boss Jackson and of course Claire is just being Claire.In Most of James's novels there is a couple of twists and usually two main story lines . The first story line is that somebody is killing all the hoodlums on the street mostly Drug Dealers  but when one of the dealers turns out to have been an Undercover FBI agent , it is discovered that the killer known as "Revenge" could very well be not only a cop killer but a cop and the top of the suspicious list is Lindsey and Rich's ex Jacobi, Can the pair prove Jacobi's innocent and track down the real killer ? The other tale is that in one of the Richest estates - a couple of skulls were found and then ultimately it is uncovered that the backyard is like Skull ecstasy as a total seven skulls are located . Who is the mysterious killer and where is the rest of the bodies ? If solving these cases weren't hard enough , Lindsey is having issues and fears that she may lose her job and she has no-one to talk to when a female co-worker of Joe's lets her on a little secret relationship she had with him.
What happens when the clock strikes Eleven ?

Here's a exert from Pattersons blog http://www.jamespatterson.com/books_11thHour.php#excerpts
A GOOD-LOOKING MAN in his forties sat in the back row of the auditorium at the exclusive Morton Academy of Music. He was wearing a blue suit, white shirt, and a snappy striped tie. His features were good, although not remarkable, but behind the blue tint of his glasses, he had very kind brown eyes.
He had come to the recital alone and had a passing thought about his wife and children at home, but then he refocused his attention on someone else’s child.
Her name was Noelle Smith. She was eleven, a cute little girl and a very talented young violinist who had just performed a Bach gavotte with distinction.
Noelle knew she’d done well. She took a deep bow with a flourish, grinning as two hundred parents in the audience clapped and whistled.
As the applause died down, a gray-haired man in the third row popped up from his seat, buttoned his jacket, stepped out into the aisle, and headed toward the lobby.
That man was Chaz Smith, Noelle’s father.
The man in the blue suit waited several seconds, then followed Smith, staying back a few paces, walking along the cream-tiled corridor, then taking a right past the pint-size water fountain and into the short spur of a hallway that ended at the men’s room.
After entering the men’s room, he looked beneath the stalls and saw Chaz Smith’s Italian loafers under the door at the far right. Otherwise, the room was empty. In a minute or two, the room would fill.
The man in the blue suit moved quickly, picking up the large metal trash can next to the sink and placing it so that it blocked the exit.
Then he called out, “Mr. Smith? I’m sorry to disturb you, but it’s about your car.”
“What? Who is that?”
“Your car, Mr. Smith. You left your lights on.”
The man in the blue suit removed his semiauto .22-caliber Ruger from his jacket pocket, screwed on the suppressor. Then he took out a tan-colored plastic bag, the kind you get at the supermarket, and pulled the bag over his gun.
Smith swore. Then the toilet flushed and Smith opened the door. His gray hair was mussed, white powder rimmed his nostrils, and his face showed fierce indignation.
“You’re sure it’s my car?” he said. “My wife will kill me if I’m not back in my seat for the finale.”
“I’m really sorry to do this to your wife and child. Noelle played beautifully.”
Smith looked puzzled—then he knew. He dropped the vial of coke, and his hand dove under his jacket. Too late.
The man in the blue suit lifted his bag-covered gun, pulled the trigger, and shot Chaz Smith twice between the eyes.

Jack Reacher novels in order with story lines

    Jack Reacher can be found in the following books by Lee Child:
Killing Floor (March 1997)
The story is a riveting one, focusing on Jack's involvement in a crime in a small town in Georgia. Boy, does he make a mistake in deciding to stop off in this little burg, just to find out about a blue singing legend named Blind Blake. But, what a story unfolds. The dialogue is brisk, economical, and very involving! Along with Jack, there are a ton of characters that are so remarkably fleshed out and described, you would think this was a true crime story!

Exert chapter 1

I was arrested in Eno's diner. At twelve o'clock. I was eating eggs and drinking coffee. A late breakfast, not lunch. I was wet and tired after a long walk in heavy rain. All the way from the highway to the edge of town. 

The diner was small, but bright and clean. Brand-new, built to resemble a converted railroad car. Narrow, with a long lunch counter on one side and a kitchen bumped out back. Booths lining the opposite wall. A doorway where the center booth would be. 

I was in a booth, at a window, reading somebody's abandoned newspaper about the campaign for a President I didn't vote for last time and wasn't going to vote for this time. Outside, the rain had stopped but the glass was still pebbled with bright drops. I saw the police cruisers pull into the gravel lot. They were moving fast and crunched to a stop. Light bars flashing and popping. Red and blue light in the raindrops on my window. Doors burst open, policemen jumped out. Two from each car, weapons ready. Two revolvers, two shotguns. This was heavy stuff. One revolver and one shotgun ran to the back. One of each rushed the door.

Die Trying (July 1998)
If you haven't read Killing Floor I would recommend doing so before you read this book as it provides a basis for Reacher's character realism. As before the main character is Jack Reacher, ex military policeman and all round superhero. Reacher is intelligent, deductive and physically prodigous, so if you like heroes of the elite variety then this is the character for you.
 read more Die Trying (Jack Reacher, No. 2)

A Chicago street in bright sunshine. Jack Reacher, strolling nowhere, meets an attractive young woman, limping, struggling with her crutches, alone. Naturally he stops to offer her a steadying arm and then they turn together—to face twin handguns held level and motionless and aimed straight at their stomachs.

Chained to the woman, locked in a dark, stifling van racing 2,000 miles across America, Reacher needs to know who he's dealing with. The kidnappers are saying nothing and his companion claims to be Holly Johnson, FBI agent. She's fierce enough and tough enough, but he knows there must be more to her than that. And at their remote, hostile destination, they will need to act as a team and trust each other, pitting raw courage and cunning against insane violence and seemingly hopeless odds, with their own lives and hundreds more at stake.


Tripwire (June 1999)
In a Jack Reacher book expect exciting action scenes, plenty of fisticuffs, and a large dose of graphic violence. "Tripwire" is no exception. The book is an excellent read. Reacher finds himself caught up in the investigation of a star helicopter pilot missing in action in Vietnam and assumed dead. The boy's parents, in grief for thirty years, send a PI to find Reacher, only to have the PI killed hours after meeting with Reacher. From that point on, the plot twists and turns, always sustaining your interest. Although the ending is easily predictable from the start, it's fun readng
 read more Tripwire (Jack Reacher, No. 3)

In Tripwire, Child pits ex-military policeman Jack Reacher against his most deadly and merciless adversary yet. Kirkus Reviews noted that "Reacher swashbuckles with the best of them" and Booklist called Tripwire "edgy, exciting reading."

Jack Reacher washes up in the Florida Keys with his savings running out; he spends his days digging pools and his nights as the bouncer in the local strip club. But a private investigator intrudes upon his tropical refuge, seeking Reacher out. When he discovers the PI's lifeless beaten body lying in the street, Reacher heads north to determine who is trying to find him and why.

Tracing the dead man's trail to New York, Reacher discovers the PI was working for Reacher's former commanding officer, mentor and close friend Leon Garber. Reacher teams up with Garber's daughter Jodie, a sharp Wall Street lawyer, to find out why Leon needed Reacher's help and they find themselves embroiled in a life-threatening search for the truth—and the deeper they dig, the more dangerous and twisted their path becomes.

In this third novel featuring Jack Reacher, author Lee Child masterfully intertwines the domains of the underworld and the bureaucracy of the U.S. Army. Reacher and Jodie uncover 30 years of deceit—and their love for each other—in a thriller that reaches its heart-stopping, plot twisting climax on the 88th floor of the World Trade Center.



Running Blind (published as The Visitor in the UK and Australia) (April 2000)
Reacher is the suspect in a bizarre series of murders in which ex-army women (who left the force because of a variety of sexual harassment cases) are left naked in their bathtubs filled with green army paint. The killer leaves no clues and what is even more bizarre, they have no idea how the women died.
read more Running Blind (Jack Reacher, No. 4)

It's tough being a high-flying woman in the Army. Very tough. When Sergeant Amy Callan and Lieutenant Caroline Cook are found dead in their own homes—in baths filled with Army-issue camouflage paint, their bodies completely unmarked—Jack Reacher is under suspicion. He knew them both—and he knows that they both left the Army under dubious circumstances, both victims of sexual harassment. A former U.S. military policeman, a loner and a drifter, he matches the psychological profile prepared by the FBI, and is arrested by ambitious Special Agent, Julia Lamarr.

But when the body of another woman, Sergeant Lorraine Stanley, is discovered, killed with similar precision, Reacher is released. Everyone fears there is a serial killer on the loose. But the FBI have strong persuasive powers, and before long Reacher finds himself heavily involved in the murder investigation. What have these women got in common and why is someone out to do them harm?

In this magnificent and utterly ingenious thriller, Reacher once again saves the day, proving that he is a unique hero, capable of holding his own in any situation. Running Blind confirms that Lee Child is more than capable of challenging the established names currently writing in this genre



Echo Burning (ISBN 0-515-13331-0) (April 2001)
A former Army major assigned to the Military Police, Jack has been aimlessly roaming the United States through several novels, and attracting big trouble in each one. In ECHO BURNING, he's hitchhiked into sunburnt West Texas where he's given a ride by Carmen Greer, who's cruising the highways on the lookout for a Tough Guy. Carmen lives with her young daughter, Ellie, on an arid ranch with her hateful brother-in-law and mother-in-law while her husband, Sloop, serves time in a federal pen for tax evasion.

Without Fail (April 2002)
Lee Child's books get better and better with each addition to the series. WITHOUT FAIL is a real page-turner with plenty of excitement all through it. Child has not only made a detailed study of his character, but he has delved into the workings of the military and government. Yes, on occasion Reacher and Neagley sometimes seem to have superhuman powers, but the readers will willingly forgive those moments to cheer on the heroes of this story
 read more Without Fail (Jack Reacher, No. 6)

Persuader (April 2003)
In "Persuader," Jack Reacher has the jolting discovery of evil nemesis Ouinn's existence, whom Reacher thought he had eliminated a decade ago. To be ultimately rid of Quinn, Reacher faces a dual challenge -- penetrate an organized crime operation and aid the Federal government in the rescue of one of its agents.
Persuader (Jack Reacher, No. 7)

The Enemy (Prequel, time frame occurs before Killing Floor) (April 2004)
Somewhere inside the vast worldwide fortress that is the U.S. Army, Reacher is being set up as a fall guy with the worst enemies a man can have. But Reacher won’t quit. He’s fighting a new kind of war–against an enemy he didn’t know he had. And against a conspiracy more chilling, ingenious, and treacherous than anyone could have guessed.

One Shot (ISBN 0-385-33668-3) (April 2005)
This is the best of the Reacher books
The story gets off to a hot start when a sniper mows down (with six rifle shots) five random people innocently leaving their place of work. The guy seems to have expertly planned his attack, yet leaves behind such a wealth of forensic evidence that even a CSI rookie could have followed the trail and snagged the killer, as did the local Indiana small city cops just hours later that night. The arrested man, James Barr, who turns out to be a Gulf War Army sniper, says almost nothing, but finally denies his guilt and asks for Jack Reacher. Reacher hears about the deed on national TV and sets out for the town before he knew he had been tangentially involved. Meanwhile Barr gets almost killed in prison overnight and is in a coma in the hospital. When Reacher shows up and sees the case from the police side, he is also convinced it's open and shut -- and we're left wondering where this is all going. Answer --

The Hard Way (ISBN 0-385-33669-1) (May 2006)
I'm a big Lee Child fan. As far as I'm concerned, the tight-lipped, human arsenal Jack Reacher is the most compelling figure in contemporary escapist thriller fiction. So when I tell you that "The Hard Way" is the best novel of its kind to hit the shelves in the last few years, I'll admit I'm biased.
read more The Hard Way: A Reacher Novel (Jack Reacher)

Bad Luck and Trouble (ISBN 0-385-34055-9) (April 2)007
In "Bad Luck and Trouble," Reacher has a reunion of sorts with three of his buddies from the army, Frances Neagley, Karla Dixon, and David O'Donnell. They reunite because of a tragic event: Calvin Franz, who worked with them years ago in the military police, was thrown out of a helicopter in the California desert after suffering unspeakable torture. The victim left behind a wife and little boy. Three other MPs from the same special investigations unit, Jorge Sanchez, Tony Swan, and Manuel Orozco, have disappeared, as well. Reacher and his remaining ex-colleagues band together to find out what happened to these men and why. He is also plotting revenge: "There are dead men walking, as of right now. You don't throw my friends out of helicopters and live to tell the tale.

Nothing to Lose (ISBN 978-0593057025) (March 2008)
After reading about 8 of Child's Jack Reacher books, I finally found a dud. It started out thrilling, as expected, but quickly become almost boring. I can not believe I am typing those words.
read more Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher, No. 12)

Gone Tomorrow (April 2009)
There is more than ample violence and gore to please the loyal Reacher fan, the plotting is tight, and Reacher continues to be fun to decipher as he analyzes people and events. As usual, Jack Reacher is NOT a character you want mad at you or to seek vengeance against you. And Child does a fasacinating job of describing Manhatten and the underbelly environs of NYC.
read more Gone Tomorrow (Jack Reacher, No. 13)

Hours61  (March 2010)
The book is set in freezing South Dakota in the middle of a snowstorm. Reacher has hitched a ride on a bus tour of senior citizens. When the bus crashes, he finds himself in Bolton, the location for a recently built prison and headquarters for a gang of meth dealers. A drug dealer is in prison, facing trial, and the key witness is under police protection. The deputy chief of police asks Reacher to help him figure out what's going on and to keep the witness safe. From the book's outset we are counting down 61 hours to a major event, although it is some time before it becomes clear what that will be.

Worth Dying For (September 2010)
The Vegas villains seemed to be portrayed as if they were in a Cohen Brothers film. Stylish but stupid and incompetent. It made their outcomes fairly assured from the moment they were introduced. The ending tells us that the East Coast may be an eventful journey and personally I want to be on board. Jack Reacher is a character for our times. I've passed some time trying to work out who would play him on the big screen and the problem is there really isn't anyone who comes close. Russell Crowe? Too short and getting too old for the series (of films), but has the look. Making of the film would be fairly inexpensive as the action is real world, well, real Reacher world. Keep em' coming.

Second Son, a Kindle exclusive short story (August 2011)
Excellent source of background material on Reacher. If you are a seasoned Reacher Creature or a new convert you will find this single shows you that Reacher was as he always will be.

The Affair (September 27, 2011) Prequel to Killing Floor
However, the last two Reachers - though good - left me a bit cold because I was getting tired of the "Reacher stumbles into small-town corruption" formula. Fortunately, THE AFFAIR flashes back to his army career, where he faces his true arch-nemesis, the military bureaucracy, and we learn why he decided to drop out and become a toothbrush-packing drifter. Even though the novel is mainly set in yet another bleak small town, I'm happy to report that Reacher is back to form. This latest adventure delivers the expected page-turning excitement, plus a few other bonuses:

A Wanted Man (with bonus short story Deep Down): A Jack Reacher Novel

An enjoyable read with some good twists but moved a little slowly. Overall it's a decent story and one can't help wanting to know a bit more about Jack Reacher.

A Wanted Man (with bonus short story Deep Down): A Jack Reacher Novel

Never Go Back: A Jack Reacher Novel 

I don't know if the Reacher series can get any better, but it certainly isn't getting any worse or showing any author fatigue. The writing is crisp, the pacing brilliant, and the plot is deliciously convoluted and innovative. You simply cannot put this book down, it's that compelling and addictive.This is one of child's better Reacher books read it///

Never Go Back: A Jack Reacher Novel

High Heat is a fast-paced, action-filled short story (or short novella) that gives Jack Reacher fans a hint of what Reacher would become. The story ended with a very unexpected twist as young Jack leaves NYC and moves on to see his brother.

High Heat: A Jack Reacher Novella

Note: The earlier Jack Reacher short story, "Second Son," took place in 1974. "High Heat," set in 1977, is the second-youngest Jack Reacher story published by author Lee Child, with the exception of flashbacks and references to Jack's youth in his novels.

Notes
One shot/bad luck and the hard way are the best of the Reacher novels out side of Echo burning all are top quality great reading echo is ok ,but the plot wanders to much,the affair is a great read also.Read them all but it is OK to pass on echo.

Oh, Baby! by Tia Mowry Review

Oh, Baby! by Tia Mowry Review
 a frank, hilarious guide to modern pregnancy.
This is not a book i would normally read,but my wife was reading a book and laughing her ass off so i asked her what in the world she was reading.When she was done she put it on my desk with a note read this.I remember Tia from sister sister and she was the funny one i remember that.


I will tell you i was not expecting much, another grown up child star writes a book so what.Right from the start this book will make you laugh out loud from the sourdough bread cravings to the attempts of sex while your 8 or 9 months pregnant.This is a hilarious book and should end up a best seller.Warning you do not have to be pregnant to enjoy this book i am not pregnant i loved it.But i believe if you are pregnant you will learn much about what to expect and every man should read it to know exactly what a pregnant woman goes through..Read it it is sooooooo funny nice job Tia, available /kindle/ nook/ paperback/ and hard cover.Chapter exert below.

Oh, Baby!: Pregnancy Tales and Advice from One Hot Mama to Another
Chapter exert 

I'm pregnant! What does that mean? Well, let's just state the obvious: I have a bun in the oven and I'm gonna be a mother. Someone's Mama. A role model, a rule maker, a caregiver, the Commander in Chief. Bigger than Big Bird, you betcha, when it comes to a little person's life.

If you've picked up this book, you're probably in the same situation. Congrats! Whether you were pleasantly surprised or it's been a long journey (it certainly has been for me), welcome to the club! Go ahead; give yourself a pat on the back and a thunderous round of applause. Not everyone can do this (guys, for example). I don't know about you, but I feel like Superwoman. The power! The head rush! I feel like I could do anything: climb mountains, swim oceans, run with the bulls...

But I should warn you -- this baby bliss won't last forever. For me, it started to wind down when I couldn't see my toes, keep food down, stop farting or find anything besides a small tent that would fit me. No, I was not feelin' like Ms. Fabulous in those moments. (And lucky me, they got to be televised for the whole world to see on my reality show.) But that's when I told myself that when it sucks, I'll just laugh. I'll laugh even when I feel more like screaming or crying or strangling my husband for knocking me up. Because you have to keep things in perspective and keep your sense of humor when the world around you is spinning out of control.

Will I screw up? Absolutely. Will I break down? Several times a day. But in the end, I am The Queen of All Things (and my hormones are raging, so you better agree...). And so are you. You're the Boss. Not your husband (sorry, honey), not your mother in law, not your well-meaning best girlfriend who wants you to give birth in a bathtub. You decide how this pregnancy is going to go, how you want to deliver your baby (barring any medical emergency), whether you want to breastfeed or go with formula (my boobs, my rules, I always say). Sometimes I feel sometimes like my head is going to explode with all the information that is being shoved in my face. My advice? You take what feels right, what works for you, and leave the rest behind. Start listening to your developing mama instinct. Yes, you should be well-informed and know your options, but in the end, you follow your gut. And trust me...by the time you hit the second trimester that gut is hard to miss.

This book is not meant to stress you out or dictate what you should do. It's my take on my journey, from month 1 to Delivery and beyond! It's the questions I asked my OB and the strategies I used to cope with every situation that arose, expected and unexpected, in the hopes that what I have been through and learned along the way can help you. You too can hide your burgeoning belly from coworkers for several months, tell well-meaning moms to keep their opinions to themselves (politely!) and stifle the urge to puke every time you smell food, all while looking sexy as you grow to the size of a small semi truck. I did it and my experiences may not be yours (hopefully, you won't have as much gas), but every woman goes through her own adventure en route to Mommyhood. Mentally, physically, and emotionally, it's a rollercoaster--that explains the nausea. I hope to help you get through it with dignity and style.

And you're not alone. I am in it with you. I admit that despite my bravado, I was scared out of my mind from Day 1. I actually find it hysterically funny that people call it "expecting" because I had no idea what to expect! How could I, when I know nothing about babies and pregnancy? I haven't done this before. Ever. And mind you, they don't teach Surviving Pregnancy 101 in college. If they did, we'd all probably be too scared to sign up for it. I am not one of those mothers that had been preparing to give birth since she was 2. I was focusing on my education and my career. I'm learning as I go along. I'm winging it, big time.

And soon enough, I'll be stronger, wiser and watching The Wiggles. I'm okay with it. All of it. Because in the end, I'm going to have a brand new baby boy and I can say, I did it. I rock. I am Mama, hear me roar!

Are you prepared to be a mom?

Well, you bought this book, so you better be! Or at least, be up for the challenge! Answer True or False to the following statements then check your score below:

1. Only wimps need sleep.

2. I prefer watching Barney over The Real Housewives.

3. I could change a diaper with one hand, hanging upside down, with my eyes closed.

4. I know that Yo Gabba Gabba is not Spanish for "I like to gossip..."

5. Showers are totally overrated.

6. I could stand to gain a few pounds...like, seventy.

7. Eau de Spit Up would make a lovely perfume.

8. I know what a Boppy is and I'm not afraid to use it.

9. I'm totally psyched to taste strained peas.

10. I'm cool with never again having a) a minute to myself b) boobs that defy gravity and c) sex with my husband.

If you answered True to all or most of the above, then congrats-you are either 100 percent ready to be a Mother, or you cheated on this quiz.

If you answered False to all or most of the above, welcome to the thrilling, terrifying, totally bizarre world of pregnancy and motherhood. You're in the same boat that I was in-namely clueless and trying to cram everything you need to know into the next nine months.

I thought I was a quick study-but this stuff is tough and sometimes deceiving. Case in point:

"You're registering for a Diaper Genie, right?" a friend asked me early in my pregnancy.

"You mean a big blue dude who will show up in my nursery and wipe my baby's butt for me? Sign me up!"

It's a lot to take in, I won't lie. But in the end, you'll be an expert in all things having to do with your baby. And one of the things you'll discover along the way is that a Diaper Genie is a garbage can that twists your kids' Pampers into a little sausage link that doesn't stink. Seriously -- how cool is that?

New York to Dallas By JD Robb [Nora Roberts]

New York to Dallas By JD Robb [Nora Roberts]



Nora Roberts Assumes her second most popular identity to script another Eve Dallas thriller.
My love affair with Nora Roberts go up and down like the worlds longest roller coaster since she has 170 million books in print she almost writes them faster than i can read them sometimes to fast ,yet some of  my favorite books  were penned by her also.But like i always said because i like a few of your books does not mean i will like them all. Nora writes under another name called J.D.Robb to put out a detective series with Eve Dallas as the super romantic super smart star of the series about NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas .

Dallas and her husband are after a serial killer which lands them from NY to Dallas this is a special killer which has escaped from prison with serious ties to her past.This is one of the books by Nora where you will laugh cry,be scared, excited it is a emotional roller coaster with in depth research and descriptions which is Noras specialty.

Dallas isn't just a different location Eve and Dallas have history. As readers of the series know, Dallas is where Eve's life was transformed. I won't give any tips, but it should come as no surprise that the ghosts of Eve's past - a past she's thought she'd mostly overcome - are added to the tension of trying to seize McQueen the serial killer. I loved the character development this element of the story brought to Eve, even as it split my heart. And it wasn't only my heart breaking. Roarke, Eve's husband, is with her every step of the way. Not only do we see more of his character progression come about and the progression their marriage makes in NEW YORK TO DALLAS is merely lovely to observe. In many ways, Eve and Roarke make a unique couple. But one of the things I love most about them as husband and wife is the fact that they have the common problems couples have, not just big ones; they have to cope with both in this tale.It is romantic interesting and rekindles my love affair with Nora Roberts ooops i mean J.D.Robb.Below is amazon or Barnes and noble it is available for kindle or nook .


                                     

Chasing Fire by Nora Roberts review

Chasing Fire by Nora Roberts


Nora is one of my favorite authors writing one of my favorite books Three fates,after a few re releases and a very average book called the search Nora tackles suspense action romance thriller.After the last book the search  went to the dogs this one goes to the fire fighters one of them being a woman of course, a little better subject.

The smoke jumpers of Missoula, Mont., who routinely risk life, are the subject of this book, an enticing subject that was well researched and well written. This is a good book ,a really good book, my only complaint is way to much training manual, needs  a little more romance.You have a couple romances ,a couple murders,a couple major fires,  makes a good read and convinces me Nora is on her way back after a few disappointments.
Rowan is intelligent, self-sufficient and formidable and she isn't afraid to be in charge. Gull is rough, brilliant, well read and there is a chit chat of  digs that is fairly enjoyable to read. I would it like if we could have had about less forest fire instruction and more romantic relationship between the two because they were the type of heroes that you like to read about. There is also a wonderful  relationship in the book involving Rowan's father and a local school Principal.

Seeing Julia written by Katherine Owen review

Seeing Julia written by Katherine Owen review
I came to read this book because Katherine Owen started following me on twiter,usually when someone follows me i follow them back i clicked on her profile and she was listed as a author so i started checking around and sure enough she has had 3 books published along with some journals.I looked in amazon all 3 books were there so i ordered them.The first book i read was seeing Julia, i really wasn't expecting much as i had never heard of the author and i know the books were never on NY times best seller list or i would of seen them.Katherine Owen probably one of the most beautiful authors ever to publish also is extremely talented as writer i don't know how much of her life is in this book, but it is written as if she lived it felt it and battled the battles she wrote about


I will say this is probably the saddest book i ever read her ability to make you feel the pain, the disappointments and the emotional ups and downs is second to no one so exceptional i think a lot of her is in this book,if she did not live all or part of this,her imagination is amazing.


This book is about a moving, psychological and tumultuous ride through the eyes of a young widow.The story was so grasping, and all of the personas were so easy to love - I quickly became devoted to all of them. Jake and Julia were enchanting, but I also adored Julia's close friends. Her "inner circle", as she named them, is adoring, encouraging, and more than ready to kick your behind when you need it. We should all be so fortunate to have fantastic friends like hers.


The best part of this extraordinary book was the astonishing concept in the story: Acknowledging we aren't perfect - no one is. Mastering to be comfortable with who you are. Just be you.I love this author and i am looking forward to reading her other 2 books, she will have a best seller,  if she keeps up the quality i saw in this book it's a sad sad book but a great great read.  click the link to read more

Zero Day by David Baldacci

Zero Day by David Baldacci


Half way through this book i had to look back at the cover to make sure it was not a jack Reacher book under a alias name, the back ground is identical and the story similar it was a great book, but not as good as a Reacher novel but well worth reading ,it is a action packed thriller so you can not go wrong.I have a feeling there will be more book with Puller as the lead character.

U.S. Army's Legal Investigator Department Cause Specialist Bob Puller, Jr. trips his sibling Bob, a atomic researcher found guilty of treason at the US Disciplinary Barracks, but his sibling will not response whether he did it or not. Their dad the well-known Military idol would like to believe his most well-known son did not betray his nation.

At Quantico, Puller's Special Broker in Charge Don White designates the Cause Specialist to examine the killing of Immunity Intellect Organization Colonel Matthew Reynolds in Drake, Western Va. The official proved helpful at the Government, but what affects Puller is the DIA should be making the questions into the killing of the colonel, his spouse and two teenager kids in their non-urban home. He makes contact with Sergeant Samantha Cole, the private killing private investigator analyzing the huge killings, but she views him an undesirable outsider and functions accordingly towards accommodating Puller.

This is an excellent cops step-by-step loaded with a perspective that takes a local non-urban killing research rotating it into worldwide ocean as only Mark Baldacci can do and make it feel real. Puller is wonderful as the agent positioning the tale together. Visitors will appreciate this fast-paced thriller as Zero Day has come to Western Va and other close by .

Fatal Exchange Russell Blake

Published in the design of Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle with more creativities and changes then a item of licorice this publication kept me wondering to the end. I liked the connections between the character types and information of the offenses provided. I, of course, had it all exercised (not) but it kept me captivated throughout the whole publication.

It was a joy to study such a publication without getting missing or tired. The writer kept elements to be able but still included the Forget Marple wide range of down house investigator and the `keep your sight start so you don't miss the apparent clue' of the Holmes wide range.

For an old created rather excellent who done it this was the best one I've study so far. I suggest it for this category and may even go returning and study it again to create sure I got all the intricacies the writer was planning. I just really liked this publication.


Blake's Fatal Exchange had me connected from the first part. It is a busy, measures loaded thriller that you won't want to put down.
It starts with an eye fixed supplier who provides a thousand cash value of timepieces to an Oriental business owner. When it changes out the expenses are fake the experience is on. The counterfeiters recognize some less than ideal expenses are out and they want them back before anyone knows they are available.
Tess, a motorcycle mail, is the girl of the observe supplier and when the systems begin putting up she understands she is probably next.
Throw in a murderer that is focusing on women motorcycle messengers and you have one more perspective in the story.
Blake connections the and building plots together exceptionally in a convert you won't see arriving.

 This is just a nice entertainment book that is well written i loved it.
