The Hunter's Moon is a young adult paranormal romance that starts with Morgan and her brother, Jimmy, on the run from mobsters who are trying to kill them. They shouldn't have been found as they are in the Witness Protection Program, but hey, they were. The reasons for this become clear as the book progresses.

This is a smooth-flowing book where the seventeen-year-old main female is thrust into the world of the paranormal, not knowing a single thing about it. Her ten-year-old brother is a delight to read about and certainly deserves the nickname of Batboy. Her doubts and fears about what is to come are completely relevant, and not out of character. The supporting characters are mainly a quiet bunch, with the spotlight on Okema, Miriam and Hawthorne. That being said, this is a series with a whole bunch of potential and I can't wait to read more. Definitely recommended for all fans of YA/Paranormal.

This is the third book in the series by this author. These books should be red in order, as this is the continuing story. Each one of the books is about a different brother but brought together to make one bigger story. Amazing characters you will just fall in love with. A fantastically written story that will keep you hooked to the last page. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

This is strange book. It talks about autism child. It goe really is a novel about a boy that has Asperger Syndrome. It has goes though the life of a boy that has Asperger Syndrome and he has younger brother.

Jacob is accused of murder and they end of going to trail and Jacob acts out and has outburst and everyone doe not understand this quirks. They find out what really happens at the end of the story. Emma is franstic and try to explain about her son condition.
  
Just as she is going into labor, Kate Connolly learns her brother-in-law, George, is missing and may be a murder victim. While trying to juggle becoming a mother, Kate also tries to learn what is really going on with George. I found the scenes between mother and baby heart warming and the plot intriguing. I didn't want to put it down, and can't wait to read the next one.

This was fun to read and see that an angel speaks in this book. It there to help two people. It was sweet to see the two angels battle in the book. The funny things they do to get the two people to listen. I really like it with Jordan that he get different things.

It was kinda different for Rachel. Though Rachel need to understand what happened to her brother and learn about forgiving. You would be surprise with all the things that happen and what comes of it.

I use Facebook to keep up with friends and groups that I belong too. You can get addicted and look every few hours to see what people have posted and people run their life by it and get upset if they cannot get on. It is very useful for information but I don't like that it also reads your computer so if you are looking up something on google for example it then appears on your Facebook page as an advert. Big Brother is watching you all the time.

Roadkill (Cal Leandros, #5)

Book Rating
Fifth book in the Cal Leandros series, and Rob Thurman appears to have learnt her lesson from the disappointing "Deathwish".

Again, the narrative is told in the first person but (thankfully) this time, Rob Thurman does not take it chapter about to have different characters speaking. Whereas "Deathwish" had it brother about per chapter (who 'sounded' far too alike), "Roadkill" only has Cal Leandros narrating, with his sections 'book-ended' by a chapter told by a completely different character, complete with their own distinctive voice.

This is a return to form!

I found this film, despite the awfulness of what happened, quite refreshing. This was due to the fact that there were no conspiracy theories mentioned, it was a straight forward telling of the assassination and the events that followed. These events are told via people who found themselves involved through no fault of their own- the man who videoed it, the doctors who tried to save him, Lee Harvey Oswald's brother and others. There's not much action and was flat in places but it was really interesting to see the different viewpoints.

I'm a huge Ballard fan, but this novel was hard to get through. The first part indicates that it's going to be a murder-mystery, with Charles Prentice, our main character, trying to prove that his brother didn't burn 5 people to death in a house.
Around 100 pages in, it peters out into another version of @High-Rise , only not as good. Though, while this was the case, the last 3 pages were strong, and when I reached the end, I almost wanted it to go on.
