In addition to this wonderful wrap-up to their romance, there was a great mystery with a few surprises. I didn't call the ending. It's a quick read and one I highly recommend.

The Lies We Tell is the second book in the Undertaker's Daughter series. This one takes up fairly soon after the events of the first book. Reeling froThe Lies We Tell is the second book in the Undertaker's Daughter series. This one takes up fairly soon after the events of the first book. Reeling from the aftermath of those events, Rowan is carrying on with her business with a steady flow of funerals. A new body brings questions about her mother and her relationship with serial killer Julian Addington. On top of that it looks like there might be another serial killer on the loose.
I enjoyed this one about as equally as the first one. I felt like Rowan was a lot smarter in her actions throughout the book and took less risks. The mystery was solid and engaging. The solution in the end was surprise. There is also a continuing arc that deals with Rowan's mother and father. We get a bit more answers, but also a lot more questions. I hope the next book will answers those questions. The best part of the book was the turn the relationship between Rowan and Billy took. I won't spoil it, but it was great. This is a great series and I highly recommend it. I look forward to the next one The Darkness We Hide which comes out in March 2020.

8 Souls is exactly the type of YA supernatural story that I would have loved reading when I was a teen. Don't get me wrong, as an adult, I did enjoy i8 Souls is exactly the type of YA supernatural story that I would have loved reading when I was a teen. Don't get me wrong, as an adult, I did enjoy it, but this is the type of book I was craving in high school.
In 8 Souls we follow Chessie (don't call her Francesca) as she stays with her grandparents for the summer while her parents are going through a divorce. She begins to experience waking dreams and a ghostly presence in her closet. She finally gives in and asks for help from two local boys who are into ghost hunting. There are also a number of local girls who have gone missing. That is all you need to know before picking this book up.
I found the book very creepy and full of surprises. It was fast paced and made for a quick read. The characters were engaging and I didn't have a hard time becoming invested in them.. It's so hard to say my favorite part of the plot without giving away anything major. I'll just say I loved the direction that the author went with one of the characters. It was unique and not something I have read in a long time. I highly recommend this one. It's fairly clean and not gory, so I would say it's OK for age 13 and up. I look forward to reading more from this author.

This time around, the team is called to solved the disappearance and murders of several woman in Louisiana. There are always secrets in a small town, and this one is no exception, Local authorities don't want the FBI involved. Can Kara, Matt and the team help an old friend figure out what is going on?
This is a solid addition to the series. The msytery was good and had a lot of twists. It kept me guessing. I love this team. I love Kara and how she is slowly figuring out that she is a part of the team and that they are more like a family. She is also beginning to come to terms with the fact that she may never be able to go back home. Kara and Matt spend time apart in this one and their relationship is on a precipice. Not going to lie, it had me worried, but I can say the ending was perfect. Each book in the series gets better and better. I can't wait for the next one.

The story goes between present and past and at first seems to be two different storylines. Everyone in the present day has a secret. And when a body is found near Hannah and Allan's vacation home, the secrets begin to come out.
I did enjoy this one. It started out kind of slow and took a bit before all of the threads started to be connected. However, the payoff for a slower start was worth it. Ultimately it went in a direction I was not expecting. While there were some surprises, but I did guess one of the major ones. There does need to be a little bit of suspension of belief while reading this one though, so keep that in mind. I won't say much more so I don't spoil things. I do recommend this one....more

The story opens with Victoria out for a jog when her sister, Audrey shows up in Central Park in a hospital gown and collapsing at her feet. Only to disappear when Victoria goes for help. The biggest problem is that Audrey is supposed to be out of the country. She decides she must allow a former lover to help her find out what happened to Audrey.
I did ultimately enjoy this one. I liked the second chance at romance between Victoria and Zachary. Time and maturity helped them work out their issues. For me, the romance was the better part of the book. Being almost 24 years old, the book is a little dated, but it didn't take away form the enjoyment of the story. The mystery was OK. I did call a major part of the reveal early on as it was really obvious. Despite that, the story is fast paced and kept up my interest. I would recommend this throwback....more
You'll Never Find Me is the first book in the new Angelhart Investigations series. We are introduced to Margo, a private investigator who is estrangedYou'll Never Find Me is the first book in the new Angelhart Investigations series. We are introduced to Margo, a private investigator who is estranged from the family business. Her most recent case ends up intersecting with a case her siblings' firm is working on. Having no choice, they must work together to solve the case.
This was a great start to a new series. There was a good balance between the family dynamic and the overall msytery. I really liked Margo's character. There is a reason Margo has pulled away from the family and it is a lot to work through. I did like her relationship with her siblings. Even though there is distance, you could see that the siblings really cared about each other. The mystery part was good and I was kept guessing. There is another mystery involving her father, but that seems to be one that will continue into the next book. I highly recommend this one and look forward to the next book in the series....more

When their homemade camera shows a ghost girl, Nicola begs Stephanie to help her investigate what is going on. I really enjoyed this one. It is set in modern times, but had a very old timey feel to it. The friendship that developed between Nicola and Stephanie was a pleasure to watch. I also loved the relationship that Stephanie had with her older brother. It's a has a twisty ending that leaves you with a good feeling. It's exactly the type of ghost story that would have fulfilled my middle school needs. I highly recommend checking it out....more
