Kinda Meh!
When Jenine finds an abandoned camera in a lighthouse, she takes a photo for fun. But there's something very, very wrong with the picture: it contains ghosts.

Jenine and her best friend, Bree, realise the camera is capable of capturing the dead. But with each new photo taken, the spectres become more aware and more alert, and begin following the friends. Desperate, Jenine seeks the help of a paranormal researcher. He only has bad news, though: they've meddled with something far beyond their control, and the ghosts won't stop... not until Jenine and Bree are dead.

Very interesting theory, and whilst it is a short read I found it skipping over details. The characters were lacking in depth and likability.

Mills & Boon Ninja??
Captain “Kat” Kim, leader of the all female Medusa Squad, lives by a warrior code. When she pairs with Special Forces Captain Jeff Steiger, she faces new danger. Steiger is all-American, from his blue eyes to his sun-streaked hair, his laid back manner goes against Kat’s control freak ways. When the two hunt for a high end art thief, their opposite styles combust!

A quick easy read... Dees has a well thought out storyline, but limited to the standard short form of a mills and boon. Characters were slightly underdeveloped and there was a few gaps that could have done with some further follow up as the story and Kat and Jeff’s relationship progressed. Some funny moments, the odd heated moment. But overall fairly average

Rocky Mountain Revenge by Rhonda Starnes is a fast-paced, suspense-filled story! I loved how Rhonda jumped right into the mystery from the first chapter, it caught and my interest right away and I enjoyed her writing style. The suspense was believable and very engaging (in an edge of your seat kind of way), and the circumstances the characters found themselves in were something I could see happening. I thought that Rhonda Starnes did a good job with the character's personalities and I liked the tensions and understories that she created with them. I liked Grace’s dedication toward her family, and I thought Even’s character was well developed in a short time!
From someone who has read almost every Love Inspired Suspense book I will tell you that it is one of my favorites

I recently had a go at reading Shel Silverstein's A Light in the Attic which was lovely (even if I am a little too old for these books now), and now I've read his The Giving Tree.

There's not that much I can say about this book as it is only 60-odd pages, but I did find it super sweet. Even at 16, I kind of enjoyed reading this short, childishly simple book...

It tells the unusual tale of love between a boy and an apple tree while the boy grows up and the tree gives everything she has to keep him happy. I thought it was just so cute!

If you have any young family members, I would definitely recommend reading this book with them. I might have to give this 4 stars...
