For the first 200 pages, I was bored. However, the next 354 pages were good, very good! This has one of the best ending I've come across in a book for a long time! Maggie was a great character! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)
Teaser from page 21: It wasn't safe, my father told police. Something was wrong with Baneberry Hall. Unaccountable things had happened there. Dangerous things.

Teaser from page 17: Him standing there, slightly hunched over the bags, his back half-turned to me, his right hand already in one of the bags. The knife lying beside the board, just half an arm's length away, within reach.

Teaser from page 4 in large print version: Your mum is clutching you by your upper arms so tightly it hurts. You have the feeling she might shake you. It takes every last ounce of your energy to meet her gaze, to widen your eyes, empty them somehow of anything bad she might read in them, and say, "Isn't he here?"

Teaser from page 21: Kate was so shaken she could barely speak. They walked into the house, and his belongings were everywhere, a pair of tall, mud-covered rubber boots that he'd worn the day before, his riding gloves on the table, a jacket he'd thrown over a chair.

The Ballad of Song Birds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins is about the kickoff to the tenth annual Hunger Games. The main characters are 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow and his underdog tribute, Lucy Gray. I thought this book was okay. The two problems I had with it were that the characters were not developed enough and the lack of action at times. The story line was easy enough to follow and the ending was okay. (Gerard's review 10/20/20, 3.5 stars)
Karen's review: The Ballad of Song Birds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins is all about Coriolanus Snow who mentors Lucy Gray in the tenth annual Hunger Games. I would say this is kind of a pre-requisite to The Hunger Games series. I liked the first half of the book better than the second and did not like the ending. I agree with my husband that at times things seemed to drag along, lacking action. I looked forward to reading this simply because I loved The Hunger Games Series and this was by the same author, but was disappointed. It is no where near as good as the books in the series. I would recommend you save your time and skip this one. (3 stars)
Teaser from page 64: "They're not animals, though," said Sejanus. "They're kids, like you and me."

I liked this because it is a clean romance with no sex scenes at all and likeable characters. Both Kade and Flora are stuck in their pasts until they open their hearts to each other. (Karen's review, 4 stars)

This book overall was good with action; however, it had lots of talking as well which I found boring. I would have liked the ending to be different. (Gerard's review, 4 stars)

Teaser from page xii of prologue: At that moment, Kraft owned a franchise that had never won a championship. Belichick's overall record with the Patriots was 5-13. Brady had never started an NFL game. It was unimaginable to think that Bledsoe was staring up at the nucleus of the greatest sports dynasty of the modern era.

I liked Barely Legal by this author better. The characters in this were not well developed so didn't become very interested in them. It is a quick read though with a predictable ending. (Gerard's review, 3 stars)

This is a long book (over 600 pages in large print) so some down time is in it. However, for the most part, I really enjoyed it! There is good action, good guys vs. bad guy stuff, and a really good ending! (Gerard's review, 5 stars)
Teaser from page 12 (large print edition): "The only way that man walks off this plane is with one of us," he said from behind his mask.
