  • Will Isabel Get the Ending that She Deserves?

    Book Cover off of Amazon Website

    Although Lauren is back, Isabel is still struggling to get her life back on track. She is pregnant and working on her marriage. She is also trying to fix her relationship with Lauren.

    Alicia is gone. Jody is dead. Life has got to calm down, right? There is nobody else left with a vendetta against her, right?

    When Deacon comes to her with a job opportunity in Canada, she is torn about whether to accept it. Can she leave her family and friends behind? Will starting over be good for their family? Going somewhere where nobody knows who they are?

    Unfortunately, their move is just the beginning of their journey; it is the beginning of the end. Will Isabel finally get the closure that she deserves?

    The Bitter End by Lorna Douvaeva was the ending that this series deserved. Now it is time for something lighter!

  • How Far Would You Go If Your Daughter Was Kidnapped?

    Book Cover off of Amazon Website

    It’s every parent’s worst nightmare…

    Ever since Isabel dealt with Jody and her sister Alicia, she hasn’t trusted that it was over. Even though Alicia was dead, Jody was very much alive. Isabel knew in her heart that Jody would be back for her.

    Because of that, she kept her daughter, Lauren, close. She was allowed to go to school, and that was it. She even took her there and picked her up, not even allowing her to walk the few blocks to school. However, that doesn’t even keep her safe.

    When she is kidnapped outside of school, Isabel knows that Jody is behind this somehow. Unable to do anything but wait (and work with the police), she struggles. Her marriage, which may have been in trouble before, feels like it may not survive this challenge.

    Even worse, the police in charge seem to think that Isabel is the one who caused the kidnapping, not Jody. They think that she somehow did this herself, for some unknown reason. They are more worried about picking apart her statement than looking for Lauren. They even start looking at her family members and friends.

    Panicked, she starts taking matters into her own hands, figuring that she is going to be the only person who is going to find her daughter!

    Angel Dust by Lorna Dounaeva is another great book in this series. I highly recommend this series. You won’t be able to put it down. I am already partway through the third book!

  • Will a Baby Be The Gift It Should Be? Or A Big Mistake?

    Book Cover off of Amazon Website

    Sarah Westfield realizes that just because her husband Nick is perfect doesn’t mean that her marriage is. He is handsome and devoted to her. He is prepared to do anything for her, but she is still unhappy in her marriage.

    Nick wants the marriage to work and asks for a baby. Sarah can’t imagine that having a baby would help, but she is willing to try.

    After a terrible pregnancy, Sarah finds herself struggling as a mother. She doesn’t feel the maternal instinct and love kick in. In fact, she feels more trapped in her marriage than ever.

    Then, her baby goes taken, and everything changes! Weeks go by, and the couple falls apart. Then, Sarah gets thrown another curveball.

    I could NOT put The Mother by Valerie Keogh down. It was one exciting thing after another, and the ending will have you gasping and wondering how you couldn’t figure it out. I think I found another favorite author and will download more of her books.

    You can’t go wrong with this one!

  • Heather Is Determined to Figure Out What is Going On, No Matter the Cost!

    Book Cover off of Amazon Website

    In Size 12 is Not Fat by Meg Cabot, we meet Heather Wells, whose life has changed majorly. She was a famous pop idol with a famous boyfriend. She lost her recording contract, her boyfriend, and her money (when her mother ran away with it).

    So, what is a girl to do? She gained a few dress sizes, found a place to stay, and a new job, even though it is not glamorous at all! She becomes an assistant dorm director at one of New York’s top colleges, which, once she is done with her probation period, will help her with a college degree.

    However, what should be a good job turns into a nightmare when a dead body is discovered at the bottom of an elevator shaft. Elevator surfing is a strange hobby for college students, but Heather just knows that the dead girl is not one who would ever elevator surf. That is just not something that girls do. But nobody wants to listen to her, including her colleagues and the police.

    However, when another one ends up dead the same way, Heather decides that she is going to get to the bottom of the crime and figure out how these girls are dying. But will Heather find herself in trouble as she gets closer to solving the mystery?

    I love Meg Cabot, and I just love this series. I can’t wait to start the next one!

  • Would You Lie to Protect Your Only Child?

    Book Cover off of Amazon Website

    Julie has always loved her daughter, Grace. She would do anything to protect her precious child. She just can’t believe how much she truly loves her.

    However, Grace has changed a lot since she became a teenager. She hangs with a different crowd than she used to, even ditching her best friend. She is quiet and will barely talk to her mother anymore.

    Julia wishes that she could just get her daughter back, only she isn’t sure how to do so.

    Then, something happens that will change all of their lives. Grace comes home covered in blood, with no explanation. Her childhood best friend is in the hospital, in bad shape.

    Obviously, Julia can’t imagine her daughter hurting anyone, let alone the girl that she spent so much time with. However, she knows that Grace is hiding something. But does she really want to know the truth? What would happen if Grace did the unthinkable? How would both of them (and their friends) move on?

    Instead, Julia stays quiet, just like Grace. Readers won’t be able to put this book down. They will race through the book to see what Grace knows and what happened to her best friend.

    Once you pick up an Emma Robinson book, you are going to find yourself reaching for all of them, just like me. She writes such compelling books that you just have to find out what is going to happen in all of them! Only for my Daughter is just another one that you can’t miss (and can’t put down)!
