Love Lies Bleeding by Jess McConkey
3/5 Stars
Won this from Early Reviewers on Librarything. I was excited about reading this, even though I found it a good read, I kind of expected more. Sam recovering from an attack in a cabin, is struggling with depression, anxiety, the stress of her family and being alone and forced to do things she doesn't want to and not the way she wants to. Can she really trust anyone anymore?
I liked the characters at first but as the book went on, I didn't like them as much. It was a good story for an authors debut book, and will read more of her books in hopes her next novel is better than this, still a good read and would recommend it though.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
5/5 Stars
A great re-read. I re-read this for the premier of pt. 2 of the Deathly Hallows movie.
****Possible soilers****
I laughed, I cried, I love the action and dedication in this book. I was sad when some characters died,but was also happy at times when a character succeeded in something. The battle at Hogwarts is amazing I can't wait to see it on the big screen. I was reading this so much a few times I actually had to stop 'cause I started to fall asleep 'cause my eyes got so tired. I wanted to continue but had to take a break. I wish not so many characters were killed off but nothing can change what happen. A happy ending did come out, well that is if you like Harry and Ginny together. I think Harry and Luna would of made a better pair, but that's my opinion. In all a good read and a suggested read to everyone, even if it's just once.

Before I go to Sleep
"Before I go to Sleep" by S.J. Watson
4/5 stars
Can you imagine not remembering anything after waking up, forgetting your whole world? For Christine this is real, every morning she wakes up not remembering anything.
The book starts out with Christine waking up not knowing she's much older than she thinks, or remembering anything or anyone around her.
After an accident that leads to a amnesic case causing her to forget everything each time she goes to sleep. Christine starts seeing Dr.Nash and he tells her to keep a journal,so she can hopefully gain some memory. While reading the journal she finds entries she find that some thing she's being told aren't true, who's lying to her? Ben? Dr.Nash? As the pieces come together she realizes she's in a grave danger.
I really liked this book, an on the edge of your seat thriller, full of twists and turns. taking me three days. I sometimes had to re-read some parts cause I was even thinking what is going on? a great debut novel from author S.J. Watson. I recommend to anyone who likes thrillers.

Love Wins: A book about heaven, hell and the fate of every person who ever lived
"Love Wins: A book abut heaven,hell and the fate of every person who ever lived" by Rob Bell
i didn't like this as much as the first Rob Bell book i read which was "Velvet Elvis" i didn't like the structure that much either. i guess i didnt feel as attached or the vibes either. i liked some of the stories he shared, and the view of heaven, earth and hell, but i think i'm going to take a break from Christain "guidebook" inspirationals for now
sorry the review is so short i've been trying to make them longer.
next i'll be reading.....
and a few other books these are just the main ones. i probably wont read them all at once but at least you get an idea of what's to come.
i did fail at a Dean Koontz novel. i started "Sole Survivor" it didn't grasp me at about 100 pages in i quit i decided it's not for me. maybe i started with the wrong novel of his or maybe he's just not the kind of author for me.

Never Knowing
"Never Knowing" by Chevy Stevens
5/5 Stars
i won this from Goodreads First reads. i did not want to put this book down. i almost finished it in one night. and would have too if it wasn't midnight and of having to get up early for work in the morning. The book is set up in sessions with the protagonist (Sara's) therapist. which i loved it put a new twist on novels. this book was intense, nail biting and left me speechless. Sara is adopted and decides to try and locate her birth parents. She has luck with finding her mother, but she doesn't want to talk. In fact she wants nothing to do with her. Sara soon finds out that her birth father is a serial killer the "Campsite Killer" and Sara's mother being the only survivor.What is Sara to do now? She has a killers blood running through her veins. Sara already has so much going on, a wedding to plan a daughter to raise and now to help catch a killer. Will Sara pull through and be able to survive it all? i can't spoil anymore it's too good of a book to spoil. It left me breathless and speechless. and i know it will haunt me for days |

Brimstone
"Brimstone" by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
4/5 stars
Another great mystery with twists around every corner. Pendergast is back and so is D'Agosta this time solving a murder on Long Island. While more keep occurring solving these bizarre deaths isn't going to be easy.
Diogenes, Aloysius's evil brother is introduced. He only makes a brief appearance, but I was still excited, the ending was nail biting.
I cannot wait to read the 6th book in the series "Dance of Death" I really like the Pendergast novels, some of the best books I've read in a long time.
Next I'm reading "Love Wins: a book about heaven, hell, and the fate of every person who ever lived" by Rob Bell
