My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hope (Feisty Lawyers Series Book 4) by Seelie Kay. I have loved this series. I suggest you read them from Book 1 just to get a basis for the stories. I love Seelie Kay so when I see her name I usually can’t wait to read it. This book was no exception. Once you start this book you won’t want to put it down. Its the story of Hope Ali who with her father came to the US seeking Asylum. They settled down in a small Wisconsin town hiding from those after them. She excelled in school and finished Law school by the time she was 21. After college she joined the Agency which is an elite group of attorneys who go undercover to right wrongs the law won’t take care of. Its a dangerous job but its Ali’s dream job. The only problem with this dream job is someone wants her to lose hope and they will stop at nothing to succeed. This book will keep you in the edge of your seat.

It seemed like Kris had just decided to move on when Chase shows back up. Chase wants to pick back up where they left off but Kris isn’t so sure. She didn’t know the reason he left was for work and that he would be gone for 8 years. There is also another part of the story which is so suspenseful that you will be on the edge of your seats but I can’t tell you much or I will ruin it for you. Just trust me and read this wonderful book. It’s amazing!

Shameless (The Orphan Train Saga Book 2) by Sherry A. Burton – Review by Tausha Treadway

Shameless (The Orphan Train Saga Book 2)Shameless by Sherry A. Burton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shameless (The Orphan Train Saga Book 2) by Sherry A. Burton. I love these books! Each one leaves me wanting to read more. This is the second book in the series and these should be read in order. Its the continuing story of Cindy & her mom finding out that their grandmother/mother was an orphan on the infamous Orphan Trains. The Orphan Trains were used to take orphans and unwanted children West to people that wanted children. They have found tons of journals in the grandmother’s attic. This is Tobias aka Mouse’s story. We first met Tobias in the first book and he was not a person I wanted to read more about but this book explains why he’s so hard. He was a young orphan living on the streets of NYC learning to lie, cheat and steal to survive. He finds himself on the Train West but once he gets there it doesn’t work out and he’s sent back to NYC. He does really well this time around and becomes smarter in the ways of the streets until he sees MIleta aka Mildred. He’s obsessed with her and somehow ends up on another Train headed West and ends up in a very crime ridden gang called the Purple Gang Society. I loved reading about Tobias and actually liked his story even more than Mileta’s! I can’t wait for the next heartbreaking story. These are some of the best books I’ve read this year!
