Book Rating
I would say this book is really a good read. It sure has the mystery element to it. We learn the mysteries throughout the book. It more of a thriller and mystery combination.

There are crime and detective going on as well in this story plot. Claire returns to the Inn at the Ocean Edge and things start to happen to her. Is she the real Claire Delmore?

There seems to be a cover-up story or is Harry Delmore hiding something from his daughter? Her grandmother also is acting strange when Claire starts wondering and questing about herself.

We also meet Luke Rocco and his sister. He thinks that Claire had disappeared around the same time his mother disappeared. Is there a connection between the two?

Colleen does tell a story that will make hungry for more. The plot is written well. The characters are developed and show their personalities. This book a cannot put down the book once you get into the action.

Variety of job classes to choose from

Some of the dungeons are hit or miss
Fun MMORPG
I played Final Fantasy XI for a long time and loved it, then made the switch to Final Fantasy XIV after they revamped it with A Realm Reborn. I really enjoy the game. There are a variety of job classes to choose from and with the addition of Samurai and Red Mage for Stormblood it increased. Playing the game with friends is definitely more fun. With a good Free Company (guild) and linkshell you can get a lot of the story quest and side quest dungeons done in no time. The music for the game itself is beautiful and the areas in the game look great. Some of the dungeons are hit or miss and sometimes they can be a bit boring, but it helps to go with friends who make it fun. There's other things you can do besides questing and leveling like crafting and mini games so there's always something to do.

"I love L.A. Confidential. If it’s on for even a second, I just watch it to the end. I almost want to call my cable service provider and ask them not to show it any more, because it has overwhelmed my life. It’s because I’m from California, from Los Angeles, because the idea of police corruption, of political ambition, of logic and defying expectations. Really, Bud White is Rudy, in the thug cop questing for detective greatness. [laughs] There’s something about that. Also, the way that it commingles all of the ideas of pornography and politics and financial development and mob power and drugs. You know, I studied history and English at UCLA, and one of the big themes in a bunch of our history classes had to do with, “How is it that Los Angeles and Hollywood and California present themselves to the world as both this destination place of palm trees and glitter and gold and your future, and also corruption and deceit?” There’s this duality to it, and I just think that Curtis Hanson’s way of delivering that… And the performances! I mean, David Strathairn and Russell Crowe and Kim Basinger and Kevin Spacey and James Cromwell… Police corruption, and justice, vigilante justice, and it’s just got everything. It’s just a perfect movie."
