I am waaaayyyy behind in blogging, so here goes the reviews
1. Two Little Girls in Blue by Mary Higgins Clark-wonderful mystery. Loved the charachters, the plot kept me guessing right up until the end. Kind of hard to read because it's about twins kidnapped on their third birthday. As the mother of twins and the grandmother of three three-year-olds it was hard to read about babies scared and crying for their parents. The twins connection is fascinating as any parent of twins can tell you. They have their own language and are so connected it's incredible to watch.
2. Intervention by Terri Blackstock-heartwrenching story of a mother of a teenager who has lost her soul to drugs. The mother's last ditch effort to help her daughter goes horribly wrong and the police believe her daughter is guilty of murder. The mother risks everything including her life to find her daughter and prove she isn't a murderer. Great book.
3, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner-by Stephanie Meyer. This is a Twilight series novella based on an unnamed charager in the book new moon. If you've read New Moon or watched the movie you will understand the book a little better. But I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I've not read the series but I've seen a couple of the movies. Bree was born a vampire when she was 15 or 16-years-old. She has learned to survive without joining one of the packs but she questions what her creator is doing and why she's creating a vampire army.
4. Whiplash-Catherine Coulter. Another in the FBI thrillers with husband and wife agents Dillon Savich and Lacy Sherlock tracking down a ghost haunting a United States senator and a German citizen murdered on Federal Land. Who to trust and what the truth is in both cases lead Savich and Sherlock on a near deadly ride.
5. Eleven-Patricia Reilly Giff. This book is on the Children's Sequoyah Book list for 2011. The number 11 scares Sam and he doesn't know why. But on his 11th birthday Sam finds a secret that may explain his fear. A newspaper clipping with his picture that says he's missing. With the help of his new classmate Sam looks for the truth of who he is while fearing what that truth will expose. Wonderful mystery and Ms. Giff's take on 11-year-old kids thought process is right on.
6. Sinner-Tess Gerritsen. This is the first book I've read by this author and I really enjoyed it. The forensics is deep but I was able to keep up. Some of the descriptions are pretty graphic, the weak of stomach may want to slide over some of those parts. The characters, Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles are great together. As different as night and day but equally commanding. I will definitely be reading more Tess Gerritsen books.
