Come with me if you want to live
The best in all of the series. This takes place roughly 12 years after the first one in which we see a young John Connor who is destined to lead the resistance against the machines, in a foster home cause mom Sarah has tried to blow up certain places that a responsible for Judgement Day. The hunter a Terminator that can shape shift after touching an item or become a sharp object cuase it's body is a liquid metal, has been sent to kill young John. Our savior is the T-1000 that was sent to orginally kill Sarah and had been captured and reprogrammed and sent back to protect them both. This story line was the best of all the series and really the most interesting. The effects from this movie won a lot of reward for the cutting edge effects that were created.

Margo Tamblyn returns home to help her father with the family costume shop, Disguise DeLimit, in time to put together a bunch of detective costumes for a birthday party. But when the guest of honor is murdered in the kitchen and Margo’s good friend Ebony is the prime suspect, Margo has to put her own detective costume on to find the killer.

This was a fantastic start to a new series. The plot was great with many twists and surprises before we reached the logical conclusion. The characters were stronger and had more depth than many characters in long running series do. And the costume element was just plain fun, as I expected it would be. I can’t wait to revisit these characters again soon.

NOTE: I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

You've got mail! This is the first book I've ever read in which someone receives a penis by mail.
Stephanie is after Kenny Mancuso who shot his friend Moogey Bues. Then Kenny skedaddles and Moogey is shot again (only this time he goes to the morgue). The creepy undertaker Spiro Stiva enlists our heroine's help with tracking down 24 (count 'em) caskets.
This book is like the rest in the series: breezy, completely unbelievable, and ridiculously appealing. Seriously, Grandma Mazur is such a gem! I think a series with her as a main character would be a ball! More chemistry with Joe Morelli, more explosions, this book is hilarious and a bit unsettling... Stephanie is faced with a home invader who leaves body part and the aforementioned penis mailing. Oh, and former ho, Lula, begins her stint as a filing clerk. I read this book in less than a day. Hope I didn't spoil it for ya.
