"The Power Couple" by Alex Berenson

In The Power couple by Alex Berenson, Rebecca and Brian decide to go to Europe for their 20th wedding anniversary with their kids.  Unfortunately, their daughter is kidnapped and they must work together to find her!  This book was okay, but went back and forth in time which broke up the story for me.  I liked the twist at the end, but feel this could have used more action.  (Gerard's review, 4 stars)

"The Only One Left" by Riley Sager is Amazing!

The Only One Left by Riley Sager, is the best book I've read this year by far!  It starts out a bit slow, but boy, does it pick up!  It's about Kit, a caregiver, who is hired to take care of a paralyzed person who was suspected of murder and lives in a big spooky house at the top of cliff.  Kit is hired soon after the previous caregiver mysteriously left.  This book has it all--mystery, suspense, action, devious characters, creepy fathers and lots of surprise twists with a great ending!  This was crazy good!  Loved it and highly recommend it.  (Karen's review, 5 stars)   

Gerard's review 10/2023:

In The Only One Left by Riley Sager, Kit becomes a caregiver for Lenora Hope.  It is believed Lenora killed her parents, but no proof was found.  Kit is afraid after a few days but needs the money so stays on the job.  She is soon to be a lot more frightened!  This book is amazing!  It has lots of twists and turns with an easy storyline to follow.  The characters are great too.  If you think you know how it all plays out, trust me, you do not!  Must read this one!  (5++ stars)

Bored to Pieces with "Agatha of Little Neon" by Claire Luchette

Agatha of Little Neon by Claire Luchette was a terrible book! It dragged along going nowhere. Had one funny part when the sisters' car broke down but that was it. It was all just about one nun's personal journey that led her to leave the sisterhood. I thought this was one of the worst, most boring books I ever read. I only finished because I thought something would happen and it would get better, but it never did.  The only good thing about it is that the chapters are very short so you can read just a little at a time because a good stopping point is never far away.

"Hemlock Island" by Kelley Armstrong

In Hemlock Island by Kelley Armstrong, Laney gets an island as part of a divorce settlement which she rents out to make money.  She gets a call that something strange is going on at the island and she better come down to look.  Soon she discovers that she has a big problem!  This book started off okay, but went sideways near the end.  I never cared about the characters at all and I thought the ending was very strange.  (Gerard's review, 3.5 stars)
