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.

This was a good book for facts but didn't tell me a lot that was new

The Last Thing He Told Me

I loved this book - juicy, edge-of-your-seat thriller was what I wanted and it delivered! I was nervous that I maybe wouldn't be able to sleep or something afterwards but it did not have that effect - just good, clean who-done-it. So happy I read it!

The Duke And I
by Julia Quinn

Love ignores rules! The build up for this romance was really well done. The characters had great chemistry when they were falling in love but the ending seemed to fall apart - rushed and jumbled a bit. The set-up to the end could have been expanded

This was quite a short book but had a lot of story in it. The ending was very surprising and I am not actually sure I liked that part but the rest of it was interesting and kept me reading. I have never read any other books by this author but might just after this.

Local Woman Missing
by Mary Kubica

book cover


This is my first read by Mary Kubica, but not my last. This one one of my favorite books this summer. It had twists and turns and unexpected things happen. It was not a predictable book and I appreciated that. People are missing, how and why this happens in this small neighborhood. The author keeps you guessing and the ending was pretty good! I didn't see it coming.
