In Lock Every Door by Riley Sager, Jules has a job as an apartment sitter at one of the most high profile buildings in Manhattan. Jules hears about the building's bad history but brushes it off until her friend turns up missing. This book was okay for me. It has a good ending, but needed more action. I wasn't that impressed with the storyline in general. (Gerard's review, 4 stars)

"Miss Daisy Is Crazy!" by Dan Gutman (Book 1 of My Weird School Series)
Miss Daisy is Crazy! by Dan Gutman is the first in the Weird School Series. This is a funny read that I really enjoyed, even though it is a children's book. It's about A.J. who hates school and his 2nd grade teacher, Miss Daisy who says she hates school too! This is the first book I read by this author and look forward to reading more. It is a quick read and good for a laugh. I think this is a great series for younger grades. (Karen's review, 5 stars)

"Alone Yet Not Alone" by Tracy Leininger Craven
Alone Yet Not Alone by Tracy Leininger Craven is the story about the faith of two sisters who were captured by Indians during the French and Indian War. Barbara and Regina are just young girls when they get captured after the Indians killed their father and a brother. Although they stick together, they are separated and find themselves in two different tribes, being raised to become Indian squaws. They keep their faith and hope to be reunited with each other and what's left of their family one day.
I liked the book because there is a lot of action in it and adventure. It moves along quickly and is a fast read. (Karen's review, 4 stars)

"Dark Horses" by Susan Mihalic
In Dark Horses by Susan Mihalic, Roan, 15-yr-old girl, has a love for riding horses in shows. She wants to be in the Olympics like her dad who won a bunch of medals and now oversees Roan's training. However, when a boy moves into the picture, things get complicated! If you enjoyed V. C. Andrews' old books, this is for you. I did and got through this one quickly! It has a good storyline, interesting characters and the ending was one for the books! (Gerard's review, 5 stars)
