The collection of the first three Chocoholic mysteries plus the short story that was set and released before the series started. If you haven't started the series, this might be the place to start. The stories are light but fun and the characters are great.

This book takes the characters to New York City where they find fairy tale characters living in hiding. While they try to heal a friend, they get involved in a murder. This series may be for kids, but I just love the creativity each book shows.

The idea of moving the Arts Festival downtown stirs up trouble, including arson and murder. Can Abby get her feet under her running a new business and solve the crime? I liked the characters and setting, but the plot was a little rough.

Never a dull moment, great characters.. a tough one to put down!
My first book by this author and I'll surely be back to catch up on more of Dan & Cody's previous encounters! This is an awesome book for any crime/action lovers out there that kept me sucked in from page one. Never a dull moment, great characters.. a tough one to put down!

Great!
This movie was chock full of surprises. I really enjoyed it. Great acting, wonderful cinematography and the story played ot beautifully. Full of ups and downs, twists and turns it keeps you guessing who's who and what will happen next with each scene. If you enjoy crime thrillers told in a "crossroads meeting" kind of style you'll really enjoy this one. Really worth a watch!

I actually enjoyed this much more than I thought I would! Highly entertaining all the way through.

Jackie Chan still has it
This political action thriller was VERY entertaining. I've been a Jackie Chan fan from his earliest works and he's only gotten better over the years. This one has plenty of his signature action(though less comedic, more serious) matched with a very intense story line about justice being served. If you're into crime thrillers, you'll enjoy this one. Really worth a watch!

"Jake Gyllenhaal takes creepiness to a whole new level here in Nightcrawler. Nightcrawler is a well made and executed story of one man's obsession to get the very best video shots at accident/crime scenes just after (and while) they happen. Possibly Gyllenhaal's best performance to date, with great support from Riz Ahmed. Although I found the ending slightly disappointing, this really is a must see movie!"
