"Under the Lights" by Abbi Glines

In Under the Lights by Abbi Glines, Willa, Gunner and Brady were childhood friends but now are all playing with problems in the same high school.  Can the bond they made as kids hold up?  The three main characters take turns telling the story.  I liked them all, but enjoyed Gunner the best.

This book was a bit slow at first (causing my wife to give up on it and move on to something else), but around mid-point, it really picked up.  I enjoyed the first book in this series better, but this one was also enjoyable for me.

"The One Man" by Andrew Gross is FANTASTIC!

In The One Man by Andrew Gross, a man has escaped after the Nazis have killed his family.  He is safe and is working to help the war effort to defeat the Germans, but would love to do more.  One day he is offered the chance to do just that, but this mission is next to impossible to pull off.

WOW!  You talk about a page turner--this book is FANTASTIC!  I flew through it!  The story is that good and the writing is outstanding!  This would make a very good movie.  LOVED IT!  A must read!

Gerard's:
The dim picture of a darkened room came to him . . . There had been a snake on a hearth rug . . . a small man called Peter, nicknamed Wormtail . . . and a cold, high voice . . . the voice of Lord Voldemort.  Harry felt as though an ice cube had slipped down into his stomach at the very thought . . .

From page 17 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J. K. Rowling.


She just hung her head and climbed into the car.  Through the open window, she whispered so Jasper might not hear, "Just keep him safe, okay?"

Quinn turned with the rest of the team to watch.  He couldn't believe what he saw.

Escaping into books had been my only relief in life since that night my world changed.  I had read anything I could get my hands on while in the correctional facility.
