Karen's:

Ray didn't hesitate.  "That's exactly what we're going to find out."

Gerard's:

He dug into the bottom drawer of his desk.  Pulled out the bottle he'd stolen from his dad, uncapped it, and took a drink.

From page 3 of The Watcher in the Wall by Owen Laukkanen.

That would be of murder, I surmised.  Three counts of murder against a guy I could only imagine being arrested if he accidentally walked out of a Whole Foods with a raisin granola bar.

"The Watcher in the Wall" by Owen Laukkanen

In The Watcher in the Wall by Owen Laukkanen, there is a website that young teens are going to.  It's a suicide how to and somebody is encouraging them to do it!  The detectives are on it and it's a race to stop this person before more kids die.  But they will need all their skill to stop it.

I thought this action-packed book was really good; the pages flew by!  The characters were developed well and very believable.  The ending was kind of drawn out, but that is a minor point.
(Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

"Aundy--Book 1 of Pendleton Petticoats Series" by Shanna Hatfield

Aundy by Shanna Hatfield is a historical western romance that kept my attention all through and was an enjoyable read, although had some very sad parts in it.  I liked Aundy right off and felt so sad for her and her new husband at the beginning of the book.  This is a story of a woman coming from the city to be a mail-order bride for a farmer in Oregon who was very excited to marry her and share his dreams with her.  She is a strong, independent woman with a kind heart.

This is a clean romance novel with action as well.  I liked the writing and hope to read more books by this author.  I really liked how she took charge and made her own decisions in running her new farm.

"A Mother's Reckoning--Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy" by Sue Klebold

In A Mother's Reckoning by Sue Klebold, Sue is the mom of Dylan, one of the killers at Columbine High School!  She holds nothing back in describing what she felt when she found out it was her son who was one of the killers, and the reaction she received from people afterward and how she dealt with it.  She also gives us background on Dylan growing up and the lead up to the shooting.

Parts of the book were really riveting.  I have to say this was an eye opener for me!  She wrote very well too!

Teaser Tuesday

Karen's:

The girl had been so strong and stoic throughout the entire day's ordeal.  He knew she had to be exhausted, frightened, and beleaguered by all that had happened on a day that should have been filled with love, happiness, and celebration.

From Kindle location 805-7 Aundy by Shanna Hatfield.  

Gerard's:

All hope vanished as she comprehended what lay at the edge of the wooden planks.  In the very place she'd been kissed only moments before, were the remains of her life's great love.

From page 8 of The Great Hunt by Wendy Higgins. 

Tom and I raced around the house like demented wind-up toys, flooded with adrenaline, unable to stop or to complete a task.  our wide-eyed pets crouched in the corners, alarmed.
