I like to read. A lot.
Reviewing, on the other hand, doesn’t rank anywhere near the
top of my preferred ways to spend an afternoon.
That saddens me some. I don’t like reviewing, and so I
only do one or two full reviews a month. But there are many great books out
there—and I want to share them all with you.
Therefore, I’ve decided that perhaps a few of you might
enjoy seeing a list of what I’ve read each month, a snapshot of some great
(and not so great) books I’ve been encountering. So here’s what I read in July:
Title: Rock Harbor
Series: Rock Harbor
Authors: Colleen Coble &
Robin Caroll
Genre: Tween Suspense
Synopsis: A fourteen-year-old
girl training for SARs seeks the truth behind her friend’s adoption and a
school fire.
Review: The prose felt a bit
choppy to me, but the plotting is solid and will provide many a preteen a good,
suspenseful read.
Title: Dark Halo
Series: Angel Eyes Trilogy #3
Author: Shannon Dittemore
Genre: Teen Supernatural
Suspense
Synopsis: An angelic war grows
as the Dark Prince himself targets two supernaturally gifted teens.
Review: A solid, satisfying
conclusion with some nice twists to a fascinating series. Well-worth reading as
a teen or an adult.
Title: Silenced
Series: Alaskan Courage #4
Author: Dani Pettrey
Genre: Adult Romantic Suspense
Synopsis: A rock climber and a
former cop investigate a suspicious death of a climber.
Review: I fell in love with the
family at the start of this series, which is the real draw of these books, and
that doesn’t change with Silenced. I was a little disappointed with the
plotting--this duel plotline didn’t feel as cohesive as the plots of first three--but is still a
good breath-catching suspense.
