My review of Alafair Burke's The Wife. $26.99.

Angela Powell has it all. Loving, famous author husband Jason, son Spencer. Nice house. Her world starts to unravel when Jason is accused of sexual harassment by an intern then a client at Jason’s firm also claims she has evidence of a sexual assault. The woman then disappears. Then cracks in Angela’s perfect façade start to show. She has a dark past that she doesn’t want to get out to the media. Angela is searching for the truth. Is Jason really who he seems and is Angela? I liked all of the twists and turns that Alafair throws at the reader. I thought I figured everything out but boy, was I wrong! I also liked that every character has flaws. No one is perfect. I couldn’t put this book down and read it in two days. Definitely a fast paced domestic thriller. I would definitely recommend it and her other book The Ex ($15.99) to women looking for the next domestic suspense Gone Girl type book.

My review of Stephen King's Revival

The story is about Jamie, a 6-year-old boy and a young clergyman Reverend Charles Jacobs and the impact that the Reverend has on Jamie's life when the Reverend cures Jamie's brother by experimenting with electrical current so that the older boy regain his voice after he was hit by a ski pole. Then tragedy happens when the Rev's family is killed and after the Reverend gives an angry and grief stricken sermon and he is fired and vanishes. Years go by, Jamie falls in teenage love, plays in dozens of rock bands and then gets hooked on heroin and their paths cross again when Reverend Jacobs now going by Dan Jacobs cures Jamie of his heroin addiction. Jamie has some strange and dark side effects after that. Years later, the Reverend is a tent show preacher who still is curing people and Jamie decides he must stop the Reverend when Jamie finds out that some of the Reverend's other miracle cures seem to be experiencing strange and dark side effects too.
The story starts out slow because King is trying to establish the relationship that the two have. It starts to pick up more steam during Jamie's teen and adult years. There is only a few glimpses of the early King's dark and twisted world up until the closer towards the end. It was a good story and I read it in two days! Definitely worth it!

My review of Carpe Demon by Julie Kenner

Kate Connor is your average, everyday mom with two kids, a husband, and one very big secret …Now retired, Kate’s more interested in the domestic than the demonic. So when she catches sight of a demon in Wal-Mart, she tells herself it’s some other Hunter’s problem. But when that demon attacks her in her kitchen, retirement is no longer an option.She’s a little out of practice, but hey … if she can juggle two kids and an impromptu dinner party, ridding the town of demons should be a piece of cake.
Like the saying goes, Carpe Demon … and Kate intends to do just that.

Now Kate has to kick a little demon butt, figure out why the creatures are trying to take her out and take over her home town, and at the same time take care of her two year old, deal with a hormonal 14 year old, and try to keep her past a secret from her daughter and her husband.

I love this series and I love Kate Connor. It's just like Charlaine Harris says, “Shows you what would happen if Buffy got married and kept her past a secret. It’s a hoot.”
I definitely would recommend these to anyone looking for an enjoyable thriller/action/romance/funny book! It's all of that and more!

My review of Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris AND Midnight Crossroad (BookTrailer)...

FIRST IN A NEW TRILOGY

From Charlaine Harris, the bestselling author who created Sookie Stackhouse and her world of Bon Temps, Louisiana, comes a darker locale—populated by more strangers than friends. But then, that’s how the locals prefer it…

Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It’s a pretty standard dried-up western town.

There’s a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There’s a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there’s new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he’s found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his own).

Stop at the one traffic light in town, and everything looks normal. Stay awhile, and learn the truth...

The story was interesting especially being able to peek into the characters thoughts. It makes me feel like a fly on the wall! Charlaine also brings back familiar characters from her other series. She also kept me wondering if certain characters were good or bad. I can’t wait to read more!

My review of the Divergent Trilogy by Veronica Roth...

Beatrice Prior lives in a future version of Chicago where there are five distinct factions. Each faction thinks one virtue is best: Dauntless are brave, Erudite love knowledge, Abnegation is pro-self-sacrifice, Amity is friendship, and Candor is straight talking. Beatrice grew up in an Abnegation family. When you turn 16 you have take a test to see what faction you show traits for and then you decide which faction you want to be in for the rest of your life. Beatrice or Tris decides that she doesn't show the virtue needed to stay in Abnegation and chooses Dauntless in order to become brave. She also can't reveal that her test results show that she is a Divergent which means she doesn't fit in with any one faction and Divergents don't end up alive if they are discovered. She uncovers a plot (with the help of her trainer/love interest Four) to start a war.
It was good, I finished all three books in about a week because I wanted to know what happened with Tris and Four. After reading the Hunger Games trilogy and now this, I'm getting burn out on the whole Dystopian concept. I still give it 4 stars out of 10 though and it is worth reading. I'm just on to something completely different!
