Chelsea Handler doesn't fail to deliver. While not being exactly laugh out loud funny, it was enough to make me chuckle a few times. I recommend this if you are a fan of hers.

I expected this book to be more of a mystery. It was mostly about whether the main characters had suffered the same fate as their father, which was having schizophrenia. There was some mystery involving that, whether what the sister thought was crazy or ended up being the truth. Overall, it kept me reading just to see where the story was going.

A light, fun story. It didn't really know what this book was really about, but it intrigued me. Nothing spectacular happens but, I still found myself wanting to keep reading. It's a good book if you're looking for something fun.

This is the first of Jennifer McMahon's books I've read. It kept me wanting to find out the truth. I didn't mind the back and forth between time periods. I think it helped give the reader the full story, from all perspectives.

When I first started this book, I didn't think I would like it. It took me until about the 3rd chapter to really start getting into it. After that, I couldn't put it down!

A captivating story. You don't get to know what really happened until 3/4 of the way through. It kept me wanting to read to get to that part of the story. I will definitely look for more by this author.

Everything I would expect from Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan. It had mystery, romance, fantasy creatures. I've enjoyed The Hollows books from the very first one.

The book and the musical are very different. The book I found a little hard to get through, but I love the musical.
