What a fantastic, magical story this book turned out to be. I was unsure of whether I would enjoy this book, and in the beginning almost gave up. I am so happy that I chose to continue. Filled with emotion, this story is a must read!

I've never read any of Gillian Flynn's books before and after this one, I don't feel compelled to to read any others. Although this story kept my interest, I didn't find myself giving it much thought after finishing. A good book for a quick way to pass time.

The topic of this book was interesting enough to compel me to continue reading; However, I would like to have connected to the characters a bit more. Some of the descriptions are very graphic and had me feeling a bit squeamish, not a feeling I am used to. A good read on a cold, winter night.

The holocaust is one of the most interesting and terrifying events in history. However, this book is more of a romance than a fictional historical account. Although this is not necessarily a bad thing, it is not really the type of book I am interested in. I will say, the book is much more interesting than the movie.

Very good book containing 4 mysteries that will grab your attention and force you to keep reading. Instead of having one long story, this book provides a little variety for the reader. The stories are easy to read making this book perfect for summer days.

Helpful Score: 1


I normally stay away from books about vampires, but this book is definitely worth reading. I couldn't put it down. The authors do a wonderful job at providing enough detail for the reader to envision exactly what is going on. It is formatted perfectly to make you feel that you are actually watching a movie. The typical rules that generally apply to vampires are thrown aside. The authors have recreated these creatures to make them more interesting and also more scientific as opposed to the mystical beings we have come to know.

This series continues to be as witty and suspenseful as the previous two novels. Stephanie Plum is a great character and very easy to relate to.

Stephanie Plum continues her career as a bounty hunter, finding herself in situations out of her league. Luckily, she has the help of Morelli and Ranger. Just like the first book in the series, Two for the Dough is filled with suspense as well as comedy. If you have not given this series a chance, you are truely missing out.

Stephanie Plum is at it again! Just as she did in the first novel, Stephanie finds herself in a sticky situation far out of her league. Luckily, she still has the help of Morelli and Ranger. This book is as packed with suspense and comedy as the first. I look forward to reading the rest of this series.

The Winter People is a story told from multiple characters' perspectives, bouncing between two different time periods. That being said, the story was not at all hard to follow and the author ties everything together quite nicely. I definitely would recommend reading this exciting paranormal mystery.
