This is only the second of Nora Roberts' books that I have read but I am fast becoming a fan of her way of writing, which I didn't think I would to be honest! This is the story of a senseless murder, a young daughter who witnesses part of it and how it impacts both her, her family and others that were involved. The story spans over 20 years and is exceedingly well written. The pace of this book is just right, it doesn't leave you with "slow" bits where you could get bored but also isn't so fast that you miss parts of it.
Highly recommended

Escape from space
A fresh take on an old story.
A renegade CIA agent, the distant future and a corrupt government.
After being betrayed by his own government and sentenced to 30 years in cryogenic chamber 50 miles outside the earths atmosphere, our Agent is offered a way out...a suicide mission to the space prison and rescue the presidents daughter from a criminal rebellion that have taken control of the prison.
This to me is a 3rd part to kurt Russell's escape from series and I highly recommend it to any fans of them.
Great FX, great story, brilliant acting and some edgey twists.

Good until the ending

Intrigued by this movie from the beginning but its use of effects and camera shots made it easy to guess the ending and the idea.
The movie is about a guy who takes his wife and daughter to the hospital and they disappear. He spends the whole movie trying to find them, while everyone is calling him crazy.
He actually does end up being crazy which is an easily guessable twist. The twist should have been that something absolutely mental was going on, would have been so much more entertaining. I was willing it to not go in the obvious and painful direction XD

William Peter Blatty created an iconic novel that focuses on Regan, the eleven-year-old daughter of a movie actress residing in Washington, D.C. A small group of overwhelmed yet determined individuals must rescue Regan from her unspeakable fate, and the drama that ensues is gripping and unfailingly terrifying.
Been years since I first read this book! Still scared the life out of me. A few times I've done a Joey and put it in the freezer. I keep expecting to find my 6 year old with a spinning head and vomitting green crap. I love the writing it's a true classic horror story.

I couldn't put it down, it took me less than a week to read. Great book! It is a biography written in story form from the perspective of the pastor's daughter. It's heartbreaking reading what this family endured for many years from a man trying to get pastor Nichols to give up as pastor and leave town. They stayed strong when anyone else in their position would have given up. There are also many twists and turns, the story never got dull. This is also a good book for people struggling with forgiveness. It takes a strong person to forgive after what they went through.
A great concept for a thriller that just didn't feel like it reached it's potential for me. I listened to the audiobook narrated by January LaVoy.
When Rachael's daughter is kidnapped not only does she have to pay the ransom but also kidnap another child thus continuing a chain that has been supposedly going on for a while.
Rachael rapidly goes from about to break down to kick ass, which maybe the situation caused but on the whole, the characters didn't work for me and I found myself bored and often disbelieving of their interactions. It has a decent pace but just a bit of a meh thriller.
