"The First Wife" by Erica Spindler is GREAT!

The First Wife by Erica Spindler is about Baily, a young woman who dreams of meeting "Mr. Right."  She meets Logan Abbot and quickly falls in love.  They get married but when they get back to his farm after the honeymoon, she hears rumors about women who have gone missing and Logan is a suspect!  She does not want to believe it but as time goes on and events happen, she wonders if it is true and if she is safe.

This is a GREAT book, a real page turner with a fantastic ending!  There are lots of twists and turns before you finally know how it all plays out.

"The Enchanted" by Rene Denfeld

The Enchanted by Rene Denfeld is a different kind of book for sure.  It is told by a nameless person that we do not know until the very end.  It takes place in a prison with a man on death row who is visited by a lady and a fallen priest.  The story is told well and I got into it.  The ending is very good.

"The Reluctant Psychic" by Suzan Saxman is Interesting

The Reluctant Psychic by Suzan Saxman is a true story.  When Suzan was little she saw monsters and other things that scared her.  When she told people, they were scared of her, including her own mother!  One day Suzan was told she had the ability to see things that other people do not.  She believed it! 

This book was interesting to say the least even though I myself do not believe in readings or psychics.  At the end of each chapter she tells stories of people who came to her for readings.

"H Is for Hawk" by Helen MacDonald"

H Is for Hawk by Helen MacDonald tells a true story and what a story it is!  Helen is trying to deal with the unexpected passing of her father.  She has always had an interest in hawks and falcons that she picked up from her dad.  She decides to try to tame a Goshawk--a pretty hard if not next to impossible task!  She named it Mabel.

My favorite parts of this book is when she trains and connects with the hawk, not that other parts were bad though, far from it!

Teaser Tuesdays: Four Today

Gerard's:

Cesar eventually authorized me to rinse out my mouth, but by then the damage was done.  The episode left a bitter taste in my mouth long after the burning subsided.

From page 20 of Whipping Boy by Allen Kurzweil (non-fiction) (click link to see my review)
  
Mabel is bating at them, bating so hard, wings beating so furiously, that she hangs horizontally in the air.  The breeze is cold in my face, my fist pulled towards the fleeing pheasants.

From page 138 of H Is for Hawk by Helen MacDonald.

One from each of us from American Sniper by Chris Kyle (See Gerard's review, click link)

IT WAS MY DUTY TO SHOOT, AND I DON'T REGRET IT.  THE woman was already dead.

From page 2.

Karen's: 

     It was the most hopeless feeling in the world, seeing my wife in excruciating pain, without anything I could do.

              I was a hell of a lot more nervous watching her give birth than I ever was in combat.
          
From page 114.
