The Chalk Man
by C. J. Tudor
Good read (1/3/2018)
This is a quickly read book as it holds your attention. I found it riveting. The back and forth in time did not bother me as much as I thought it might. Each chapter had the year posted at the beginning.'I would recommend it to any readers who like thrillers.
Sometimes I Lie
by Alice Feeney
A good fast read. (11/6/2017)
Amber was injured in a vehicle wreck which leaves her in a coma. She is paralyzed, cannot move nor open her eyes. She can hear what is going on around her. She cannot remember how the accident happened but she remembers her childhood and up to the time of the wreck. We learn what has gone before from her childhood memories and diary entries and alternately from the preceding week. The author is very good at building suspense and each time we have a time shift, we learn and turn the pages faster.
Her memories are of extreme jealousy between herself and her sister Claire. Despite the jealousy, they are very close and love each other. Amber is married but has been unable to have children. Her sister is married with twin children.
In the near past, things have happened that makes Amber distrust her husband and she is afraid that her husband is in love with Claire.
Another complication for Amber is an ex-suitor who works at the hospital has begun visiting her.
I enjoyed reading this book and believe that anyone who likes suspenseful stories would also like it.
The Almost Sisters
by Joshilyn Jackson
It has everything that I like in a book. (5/30/2017)
Very likable characters, good plot. I very much enjoyed reading it. It is a quick read. It has some mystery and very good interaction between characters.
Lola
by Melissa Scrivner Love
A good fast read. (3/4/2017)
This is a fast read that gave me a glimpse into a life style that is completely alien to me. I enjoyed reading it as it has a good plot and very interesting characters.

Lola tries to help people but some do not want help. She sees herself in five-year-old Lucy and goes far out of her way to help save Lucy from life with Lucy's addicted mother.
