Reunion by Jenny Carroll My rating: 4 of 5 stars Really enjoyed this installment. The ghostly encounters were intense at times and the mystery was interesting. The family dynamics change a bit in this one too, so I'm interested to see how that moves into the next installment. View all my reviews

The Book of Life by Deborah Harkness My rating: 3 of 5 stars Probably more like a 2.5 It's been 9 years since I read Shadow of Night. It was about time I got to this one. While it started out promising, the story kind of dragged for me. The story didn't pick up until about the last 20% of the book. That last part held my interest and I didn't want to put the book down when I got to that point. The first 80% though was tough to get through for me. Am I interested in reading the next one - yes. Will it take me another 9 years to finally pick that one up? I'm not sure. I definitely have questions about these character's futures, but I'm not sure if that book will provide those answers. In any case, I'm glad I finally completed this trilogy even if I ended up thinking it was just ok. View all my reviews

Confessions on the 7:45 by Lisa Unger My rating: 3 of 5 stars More like a 2.5 I didn't find this story particularly thrilling or suspenseful. I'm not a big fan of stories told from multiple POVs and in this case it did get a little confusing for me at times. I listened to part of this on audio and enjoyed the narration. This was my first book by this author, so I will probably try another one of their books out before deciding whether or not this author is for me. While I did read this book through to the end, it was just ok for me. View all my reviews
