First off, this storyline has a lot of promise. Unfortunately I found this book incredibly hard to follow. The dialogue is confusing to follow and I often found myself re-reading to see who was speaking. I also found that the characters made these great leaps in understanding with very little und...
I first read The Fey series which I thought was wonderful. Grammar is sometimes not the greatest, but it is one of the reasons that the price of the books are lower so they didn't spend too much money on editing (author explanation). The characters are delightful and the plot really pulls you in....
Having just moved here, she wasn’t used to the quiet busyness of Craig Hospital. Lying in her bed, the shuffling hospital sounds reminded her of rats scurrying around the house in the middle of the night. Her earliest childhood memory. She took sniff. When they didn’t stink of rot, the flowers on...
MDT “Okay Sissy,” Sandy pointed down the baking aisle of the Five Points Safeway. “Can you grab the ultrafine sugar? It’s next to…” “I know where it is.” Still charged up from her dance practice, Sissy twirled down the wide aisle. “Nash?” Sandy looked around for the boy. He ran over with a doze...

Alisha said. Lo had to fight to keep her face neutral. Alisha read her efforts like a book. “Right, the great and horrible Henry Downs,” Alisha said. “Sue Ellen actually went out with him for a while before meeting Dad. She married Dad because Henry wouldn’t marry her. You know, to get back at He...
Deputy Robinson said. “And never on purpose. You seen him lately, Jerry?” “Nah,” Jerry said. “Not since high school.” “How ‘bout you Tommy?” Deputy Robinson caught the young man’s arm as he walked by carrying yellow caution tape. “What’s the question?” the young deputy sheriff asked. “Have you se...
Trying to be absolutely silent, Jill tiptoed into the Castle. The side Castle door made a click then a solid ‘thunk’ when she turned the deadbolt. She slipped off her Dansko clogs and picked them up. Turning into the living room, she saw Honey and MJ snuggling on the couch. The blazing fire cas...
He hoped he wouldn’t die. He hoped Noelle wouldn’t be injured. He wasn’t sure what happened if you injured a pregnant dragon, but he was fairly certain it was not good. He felt a nudge against his leg. He glanced down and Scooter was now standing next to him. When he looked up, everything was in ...
For the last six months, we’ve been working to get ready for our journey. Today, we went bow hunting for elk. I shot an elk not far from here. Of course, the smell of blood can bring the wasps from a hundred miles away. We were careful to hang the elk before returning to the Pen for the vehicle. ...
She was wearing the floor-length, dark cotton dress she was hanged in, complete with a white lace cap. “Rebecca?” Em’s voice expressed her disbelief. Rebecca Nurse was a kindly grandmother who had been hanged as a witch on July 19, 1692. Her son, Be...
“You don’t mind?” Aden asked. They were riding the Hotel Teatro elevator down to the lobby. “No, I’ll get the car,” Sandy said. “You have to be there by eight, right?” “Sorry about that,” he said. “I’m not,” Sandy said. “Last night was…” Unable to find the right word, Sandy sighed. “Yeah,” he s...
