When It Happens to You: A Novel in Stories by Molly Ringwald
When It Happens to You: A Novel in Stories

cardprincess, April 1, 2013

The name of the author caught my attention and I'm glad that it did. Molly Ringwald is as good of a writer as she is an actress. The book is a collection of short stories that tie together as a novel. When you start reading the story of a new character, you wonder how they will tie in to the previous characters, and they always do. Entertaining and very clever!

Bird in Hand by Christina Baker Kline
Bird in Hand

cardprincess, February 20, 2013

This book starts with the character, Allison, having a few drinks and being involved in a car accident where a young boy loses his life. Though Allison is guilty for being on the road after drinking, it was the other car that ran a red light and slammed into her. That is not to say that Allison doesn't have to struggle with a lot of guilt there after. It is riviting from the beginning, and the plot grows from there. The entire book isn't foucsed only on the accident, we get a peek into the interesting lives and challenges of the four main characters. Very interesting!

The Resort by Bentley Little
The Resort

cardprincess, July 22, 2011

Imagine being an average working man and saving up to treat your family to a vacation in a luxury resort out in the middle of the dessert. Only when you get there things seem to "feel a little off". Hotel staff behaves oddly, you see things out of the corner of your eye, and so on.

Bentley Little builds great characters. They are your neighbors, your brothers, your friends. You feel that you are right there with them as the chill runs down your spine.

The Fates Will Find Their Way by Hannah Pittard
The Fates Will Find Their Way

cardprincess, February 26, 2011

I enjoyed this book a lot. Such intense mystery surrounds those who go missing. My biggest complaint is it is a short 237 pages that flew by and left me wanting more story.

The Perfect Couple (Last Stand) by Brenda Novak
The Perfect Couple (Last Stand)

cardprincess, January 31, 2011

A good thriller that follows through and doesn't leaving you hanging at the end. Brenda Novak weaves a tight story that will keep you up late at night.
