I loved the book so much! The imagery and descriptions are impeccable!

This was a fun, fast-paced read. I enjoyed the theme and time period of piracy in the Caribbean. Charles Hunter gathers a crew of interesting personalities with the goal of securing treasure from a Spanish galleon that is docked in a nearby harbor. He comes up with a challenging way of attacking the harbor and taking control of the galleon. If you enjoy fast paced, action, and humor, then pick up this book!

Crawford Hunt is a Texas Ranger. His wife has died in a car accident. He slips into a bad place, so he lets his in-laws take care of his daughter Georgia. Now he has got his act together and he wants custody of his daughter back. His in-laws are ready for a fight. While in the courtroom to hear the decision of the judge someone comes in and takes shots. The books is great. Very interesting with a few twists and turns. I really enjoyed this one.

I'm clearly missing something with this book, because the entire time I read it all I kept thinking was "there is no way this author is an actual human being." The book takes place over the span of 11 years. In most chapters, we follow Kate and Meredith, two neighbors living in a town where a woman named Shelby has just gone missing. Meredith, a doula with two children named Delilah and Leo, has started receiving threatening text messages from an unknown number. Shortly after, her and her daughter disappear. The book centers around what was going on with Meredith prior to her disappearance, with Kate providing insight into what happened after she disappeared. Set eleven years later, there are also chapters from Leo's point of view, where we get to see what it's like to have your sister suddenly return after being gone for eleven years. There are just so many reasons why this book didn't work at all. The biggest of them all is that it is poorly written. As an example of what you can expect, this is how the author thinks someone would describe potentially seeing figures outside of a house a few weeks before the occupants went missing - "It was dark out," Cassandra says, "a moonless night. The streetlight outside has been out a month or two. My husband, Marty, called the city about it a while ago, but it still hasn't been fixed. Our tax dollars...hard at work. The only light came from whatever porch lights were left on overnight." Yeah. Because when my neighbor turns up missing and I think I may have seen some strange figures skulking about their house, I'm definitely going to be remembering that it was a moonless night. Everyone else in the book is just as poor at their job. The pathologist couldn't correctly figure out how someone died. The police openly lied about evidence and just sort of hoped no one would ever question them or figure it out. A woman running a daycare is completely unaware of the abuse happening there - and then the mother just doesn't even care?? Who finds out their kid is being abused and is just like "eh, I better send them back the next day or they'll get soft." Are there no other daycares?? The final thing I'll mention is that the ending is completely bonkers. I guess if you're going to commit murder, this is the town to do it in - apparently no one is ever around to watch people murder people and then drag their bodies into their cars.

Fourth Book in the Rock Harbor Series. She doesn't remember who she is and why she is on the side of the road. She knows she needs to get rid of the car and protect her and her daughter. Bree comes along and picks her up and helps her. For the next several months she tries to remember who she is and her former life. Will she ever regain her memory? It's Rock Harbor!

If I could I would say 3 and a half, it is a good book with action and suspense, but it doesn't completly follow the rules of the real game.

A very amusing and entertaining story with unusual characters held captive in an apartment during a real estate viewing. During the course of the novel, each person's story is revealed, friendships are formed, questions are answered and all come together for a common humanity.

Really great read for people who like a little romance and friendship.

I read this book but wish I had not wasted my time. It had a surprising ending but the whole story really annoyed me. It is taken from the point of view of two parents and the dilemma concerns one of their children and also a huge family party. I did not empathize with the characters and that is probably why I was not gripped.

Eileen is a dark and disturbing Christmastime story about a young woman living in an unnamed New England town, sometime in the 1960s, caring for her alcoholic father while working at a prison for boys.

Moshfegh's writing paints a vivid picture of this bleak winter, and the doomed friendship that gives Eileen a sliver of hope for her future.
