My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lately I have been reading some really good mystery books and this is one of them. Once I started reading I just could not put it down.

Bob and Eve were really good friends and they went to College together. Bob went back home to visit his Uncle Will and noticed that he was not feeling well. He refused to go to the Dr. Not too long after he went home for the visit he finds out that his Uncle Will has passed away. Torn with grief, he decides to ask Eve to go to Prospect with him. He thinks something feels off about his Uncle’s death and wants her along to help him check it out.

Since they are best friends she decides she will do what she can to help him figure out what happened. I think you will enjoy this book as much as I did.

The Taste of TreacheryThe Taste of Treachery by Emily Bybee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Have you ever been up and decided you would read one chapter of your new book so that you can get sleepy and fall asleep a little faster. This is not the book to do that with. I started reading it thinking I could put it down after one chapter, no. I was fifty percent of the way through reading the book when I fell asleep. I woke up with my kindle on my chest where I finally dropped it when I fell asleep. Then every chance I had to read I would pick it up and keep going.

Harper is talking to a Gallery owner about showing her work when her brother keeps calling her, interrupting her meeting she finally picks up the phone. She hears her brother scream on the other end and then checks her email to see if he has sent her anything there to find out that yes he had sent her a video. Will’s best friend and army buddy, Caleb, meets up with Harper to help her try and find her brother.

If you want a really good book I suggest you check this one out. I am so glad that I did.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Andrew was a baby when his parents started a toy chest for him. As he grew and got older the things in the chest were changed out. He got a sword and all kinds of things that he called his Armor and he used to have battles with his friends. His Dad always gave him encouraging words as he fought those battles. His Dad built up Andrew’s confidence.

I really enjoyed this book as well as the pictures in it. I think my grandchildren and my friends little ones will enjoy it as well.

What a cute little book for kids to learn unique words. It is not your typical alphabet book because the words she used are words you don’t normally use every day. I loved the pictures as well. They will get a child’s attention as you turn the pages for them.

A book I will be getting for my grand baby.

I really enjoyed this book. The way Ms. Stevens tells the story you feel like you are right there. I enjoyed how the others in the group took care of Malice and Bonnie and always had their backs.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Paige is an an actor who thinks her part will always be part of the show, then the star does something to endanger their success and put Paige’s part on standby.

She has been interning in the news department, getting coffee and that kind of thing, then Ted sees what she can really do and puts her on his team.

Her Ex (Walker) keeps coming back in the picture and she has met a hockey star (Viktor). Check out the story I think you will like it too.

This is the first book that I have read by this author and it will not be the last. I am discovering new authors all the time and I really enjoyed her book so I will be checking out the rest of the series.

Hope has been working the same job now a long time and she is kind of stuck in a rut. She is up for a promotion and has also been with her boyfriend for almost two years. Today is her birthday, her sister wants to do something special for Hope. So she enters Hope into a raffle that she read about. Hope has been managing a hotel, but in the raffle, Hope would win a resort.

This book was so good I just could not put it down and I kept thinking about the rut that my life seems to always be in. Wouldn’t it be awesome to be in Hope’s place.

Check out the book I think you will enjoy it.
