Malibu Rising

I really enjoyed this book. I found the characters to be very well developed and as I continued to read it I felt as if I actually knew them all. I typically enjoy mystery and thriller books, but I found myself not wanting to put this book down and highly recommend it.
Every Vow You Break

This was a great book of suspense! It has an interesting story line which kept me coming back for more - one of those books that I was excited to find out what was going to happen next. I loved that there were some unpredictable twists. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes thrillers or suspense novels.

Henry and Mudge were spies and they found a spy kit with a password. After doing a lot of detective work, Henry and Mudge solved the mystery. The code was from another boy with the same spy kit and they all became friends, My favorite part of this book was that they found a new friend.
A Long Petal Of The Sea
by Isabel Allende

book cover


This is a historical fiction about a family who begin life in war torn Spain in the 1930s and are transported to Chile (which is the long petal of the sea in the title). It follows not only their lives but also several other families who come and go throughout their lives. It is quite interesting and has made me want to research both the Spanish Civil War and Chile in greater detail.
The Couple Next Door
by Shari Lapena

book cover


Anne and Marco have a baby! Their babysitter cancels on them, but they still attend a dinner party at the house next door, with the baby monitor in tow! The baby is taken! Who is responsible and why? The mystery unravels and some things are hard to come to grips with. It was an okay book. I would try this author again.
The Guest List

I liked this book in spite of several negatives. It was extremely slow. And it had a lot of holes in the plot and unlikely coincidences. But I found the story entertaining and I was hooked to keep reading to find out who was murdered and why. I listened to the audiobook, which has the benefit of multiple narrators to bring the characters to life.
Remember

This is a great book for those of us who wonder if we're starting to show early signs of Alzheimer's. Unless you misplace your keys and later find them in the refrigerator there's not much to worry about, yet. You will learn tips and tricks to help you make and maintain memories in every day life.
Beyond A Doubt
by Colleen Coble

book cover


Second book in the Rock Harbor series. I will finish the series by the end of July. This is an easy read and flows nicely from the first book. I love the characters. I feel like I know the characters and easily find myself engrossed in their lives. This book deals with Bree and her son, whom she found in the first book, alive after a year. Someone breaks into her lighthouse and is searching for something. She and her dog Sampson need to protect her son and find out what they are looking for.
