Another mystery solved by the Murder Club! It was a good read, though in my opinion, it wasn't quite as good as the first two. This book, however, will still grab your attention and keep it all the way through!

If you've been reading the series, you should read this book, too. You meet lots of crazy characters and get intertwined in the non-stop action. BUT, unlike the other books, this one kinda leaves you hanging on a few things. I hope book 7 clears things up! :o)

Engaging the Enemy is made of 2 separate books; A will and a Way, Boundary Lines. Neither story was like any other Nora Roberts book I've read before. They were much shorter and the stories were not very complex. If you are looking for a quick read that you don't have to give a lot of thought....this is your book, or books. I enjoyed both books, but they were both kinda predictable.

Good book....not my favorite, but a good read. It's one of those books where you really like the main characters and are 'rootn' for them all the way! You can't go wrong with an Iris Johansen book.

Very interesting story.........but be cautions if you are looking to give this to a younger reader. If has some very suggestive parts and the characters take part in some "dark magic", if you will.

Overall it was a good book. It has the necessary twists and turns to keep you reading. It has murders, magic, sacrifices, and a bit of sexual content; but still somehow in the the end it seemed to be a little childish for my liking.

Sorry I can't post this one - it's not mine!

Great book! Loved the characters!
Paris Gibson is a talk show host and receives a frightening phone call that the caller is going to kill someone. You will never guess who the killer is!!! I thought I had it figured out more than once. You will be guessing the whole book....but don't peek! It's worth the wait!

When I started this I didn't realize it was BOOK 2. Maybe I should have read book 1 because I couldn't get into this one.

I loved this book from beginning to end!

You will fall in love with Lily Owens and her adventures at the pink house. Wait until you meet the sisters! (May, June and August) They are hilarious! This book is set in the south back when "black" and "whites" did not mix. So you get a small history lesson as you go. Not to mention all you learn about the bees.

This is a great book if you are a sister, mother, or a daughter.
I would rate this as one of my all time favorite books and consider it one of the all time classics.

The Secret Life of Bees is coming to the Big Screen 2008!!! So be sure to read the book!

(sorry I don't have the book to list, it was from the library!)

What a roller coaster! Growing up with Dolores, starting at age 4. This book starts out funny, but gets pretty serious. It has some really sad parts. Some really funny ones, too. But in the end I think you'll be happy you picked it up!

Great book if you have the time to read it. Very slow in the beginning....but the latter part of the book was awesome! You'll be surprised!

It's about a nice neighborhood that is filled with unexplainable child related injuries, a cop that has a fire-hot temper and goes undercover, and a very twisted "bad guy." The book is hard to explain, but worth the read.
