"The Crooked House" by Christobel Kent

The Crooked House by Christobel Kent centers on a young lady named Allison.  One night something happened to her family that left her alone.  She moved, changed her name and lived her life.  But her boyfriend becomes involved in a wedding and wants her to come with him and return to her hometown.  She does and feels like everyone is watching her.  She still thinks that all the answers from that horrible night have not come out.

This is a page turner for sure!  Allison is a great character with tension building up to the end.  It held my interest and I enjoyed it a lot!

Teaser Tuesday

Gerard's:

No one will ever pull us apart.  That means keeping things as normal as possible.  Faking it.

From page 2 of This Raging Light by Estelle Laure.

If he'd known.  What did they think?  That he could hold a gun in her mother's face, murder Joe on the sofa, dreaming with some band still playing in his ears, he could pull the trigger on the live small bodies of her sisters, but not her?

From page 26 of The Crooked House by Christobel Kent.


Karen's:

Unfortunately, the church with its undersized parking lot had used every inch of their land except for the mountain against which it had been built.  In order to build more parking spaces, they would have to move the mountain out of the back yard.

From page 55 of God's Vitamin "C" For The Spirit compiled by Kathy Collard Miller and D. Larry Miller

"This Raging Light" by Estelle Laure

This Raging Light by Estelle Laure is about a young teen girl named Lucille. Her dad is in a home trying to get his act together. Her mom left for a while and told her and her sister (Wren) that she would be back. That was a long time ago though. So Lucille had to do it all and hope that her secret does not get out. Will her parents come back? Does her secret get out?

I loved this book! Lucille and Wren are really good characters and the book flows along with action here and there with a real good ending! I look forward to reading book 2.

"The Only Child" by Guojing is a Picture Fantasy Book

The Only Child by Guojing is fantasy which reflects the author’s feelings of growing up as an only child in China. The story is cute and I really enjoyed the pictures. There are no words, just pictures except for the author’s note at the beginning which explains the story. This is a debut book. Give it a chance, especially if you have a young child.

I did not like this book at all! I didn’t think the pictures were all that great and thought the book was stupid. I sure wouldn’t buy it.

"Fired Up--Trouble in Texas, Book 2" by Mary Connealy

Fired Up –Trouble in Texas, Book 2 by Mary Connealy continues with Paul warning Dare to stay away from his mother and several attempts to kill Dare. The friends continue to pull together to guard Dare and figure out who is trying to kill him while Dare and Glynna take next steps in their relationship in spite of Paul’s warnings.

I enjoyed this western historical romance and particularly liked the humor surrounding the diner and Glynna’s cooking.  I also liked that Paul was so protective of his widowed mother.  It is a light, enjoyable read with an ending I loved and I look forward to continuing with the series.
