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!

My review of Dr. Sleep by Stephen King

Little Danny Torrence (Redrum!) grown up and trying to save kids with the Shining from evil people called "The True Knot" that suck the "steam" from the kids.

I am a Stephen King fan and I was one of the people that believed that Stephen should have left The Shining alone.  After many customers from my job told me that I should read it and it's really really good.  After much reluctance, I finally decided to read it.  I don't know why I waited so long!!!  What was I thinking??!!  The book was really good and very suspenseful and kept me on the edge of my bed (cause that's where I do all of my reading!).  I stayed up late just so I could finish the book because if I didn't, then I would have been disappointed in myself for not finishing the book and made myself wonder what would happen to Dan Torrence.  Definitely worth reading.  8.5 stars out of 10.

My review of The Bride Wore Size 12 by Meg Cabot

Heather Wells, former pop star now Assistant Residence Hall Director of "Death Dorm" is planning her wedding, dealing with her estranged mother, and finding Jasmin's (a RA in her dorm) killer all before her upcoming nuptials!
I liked it, even though this is supposed to be the 5th and final book in the series. I didn't read any of the ones before, but I really don't think I needed to. It was also nice to read about a character that isn't a size 2. I love Heather and her sense of humor. She’s wiling to poke fun at herself and point us (the readers) at some of the bizarre stuff that happens around her. Although she has all the craziness associated with getting married in a few weeks, she has to handle the murder of a student in her dorm. One of the best things about this book is that not once have I ever been able to guess the true identity of the killer or his/her motive behind the killings. So it’s always a great surprise when Heather makes this discovery. I think it's a cozy/romantic mystery and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a lighter fun read.

My Review of The Highway by C.J. Box

When two sisters set out across a remote stretch of Montana road to visit their friend, little do they know it will be the last time anyone might ever hear from them again. Former police investigator Cody Hoyt has just lost his job and has fallen off the wagon after a long stretch of sobriety. Convinced by his son and his former rookie partner, Cassie Dewell, he begins the drive south to the girls’ last known location, then disappears. Cassie needs to find Gracie, Danielle and Cody before time runs out for them.

I liked it. It was a fast paced thriller with a lot of twists and turns. There were times when I wanted to snap the cover closed and then there were times when I couldn't put it down. I really enjoyed this book, but beware, it is a dark and creepy page turner. I was exhausted by the end of the book! I would definitely recommend this to everyone that is looking for a good page turner.
