Nothing about this book is bad (0 more)
This book lets you in the POV of the 4 main characters, they all have their own secrets to hide, making them as much of a suspect as they already are. The characters are so lovable and the book makes you thing.
  
This is the first book in this series by this author. This book has fantastic characters which just pull you in. This is an very well written story. This book has laughs, secrets, heartbreak and some twists and turns giving you an amazing read. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book
  
Storm Kayama arrives at her law office in Hawaii to find her adoptive father dead. But the strange events make it quickly obvious that he was murdered. The book starts very slowly, but there are several white knuckle scenes, and by the end I was glad I read it.

After a convenience store robbery goes wrong, the villains take a family hostage in their own home. Unfortunately, the family has secrets that will create a nightmare for all involved. The twist on the hostage drama started out good, but it fell apart in the end when it got completely unbelievable.

I received a copy of Dear Haiti, Love Alaine from Harlequin TEEN (US Canada) through Netgalley.

I seriously love Alaine. I'd love to read more about her.

The story is told through school reports, news, articles and text messages and is a bit jarring at first but the storytelling makes up for it.

It's got family secrets and a curse and a witty protagonist that made me want to cheer.

Lost Man
As with all Harper's books the biggest character is the landscape and here it is the Australian outback. This is the third of her books that I've read and her best. One family in the middle of nowhere with dark secrets which l develop and unfold centred around one dead man. Excellent and gripping read. Recommended
