Katie Conner can do it all. She gives hope to us that aren't having deal with demons every day and just 10 year olds and toddlers. This is a fast paced read, not hard at all to sink your teeth into. There's enough hilarious situations and what I call mommy moments mixed into the demon hunting and saving of the world to keep you laughing.

This is actually three books in one. The Changewind world is a fantasy world where one can travel from one "world" to another. There are horrific tornado like storms that are called changewinds. The changewinds actually do change everything that it sweeps over, people, plants, animals, the land. The main characters are Samantha and Charlie and they get caught up in a twisted situation and basically have a dangerous, scary, and life changing adventure. As you read this book you start to admire some of the characters for their honesty about themselves. I did enjoy this series and would definitely read others by this author.

I absolutely loved this book. This is the first Preston/Child collaboration that I have read and I definitly had to read more after this. The main characters in this book are complicated, brilliant and mysterious. The plot is twisted and keeps you turning the page late into the night. I had to go find the books that came before and after!

It was hard to keep my interest in this book up, the plot was really slow going in the beginning. Though there were characters that I loved in this book it jumped around so much that sometimes I was just confused.

Great book! I keep reading because I love the main character Fitz and I keep wanting to know more about the Fool. That character stumps me all the way to the end of the series.

FBI Agent Riley Crane wakes up covered with blood and with no memory of the last three weeks. This isn't a good scenario for an agent undercover in a small town looking into occult activities. Theres a totally sexy, confident, and successful man in the picture, but she can't even remember him. She has to worry every minute if she is putting her trust in the right place. All the while her normally acute psychic abilities are "shut down" just as much as her memory is.
This one kept me guessing all the way to the end.

This book was a hard read, it is supposed to be a psychological thriller but I didn't really find anything thrilling about it. I only finished it because I can't stand not knowing, and hoping the book would improve. The main character starts off as 16 year old girl, Carole, who makes a pact with her best friend Naomie to loose her virginity during a school break holiday. Little did she know that there would be a horrible accident that leaves one woman dead, and two girls trying to keep a secret. The book follows Carole and Naomi's lives from youth to adulthood, from New York to California and Vermont. The main antagonist in this book is greasy and cruel, not the best choice for their pact. He keeps popping up in Carole's life no matter where she runs or hides. The ending was anticlimactic. Though there was depth to the characters the plotline was slow and boring. The book does draw some interesting thoughts to the psychology of lies, and the path life can lead from one incident.

I love most Mary Janice Davidson's book, this one is zany and quick. If you want something quick and funny to read than she is great for that. However if you are looking for something with a bit more "meat" to it her stories generally take me all of 2 hours to read.
