Very interesting book. The main girl character is funny and brave.

This book combines the history of the past with strange going ons of the present that inevitably intertwine the lives of a number of people from the same town. Every character has there secrets that somehow relate to the tragedies that have been occurring. This story has with secret keeping, deception, but its suspense element didn't pick up until the end and was seemingly short lived. For all of the build up the rest of the book provided (that was sometimes slow going), more was expected of the climax. Once the pieces fell together, it was too obvious as to who did it. This was not the best psychological thriller I've read, but it definitely wasn't the worst; it was just alright for me.

Olivia continues to show us all the ways she loves being a princess. She sure does make us laugh!

Debut novel. Terrific mystery with a paranormal twist.

Really enjoyed this different themed book. The characters were well developed and I'm looking forward to book two. The ending had me shocked!

Swyler's writing surpasses her first book. This is a beautiful story, well told, poignant. The main protagonist is an eleven year old girl, Nedda, smart and ambitious. She desires to reach the stars. It is also a story of love, loss, and discovery. It's classified as fiction, yet the story opens in space on board a module traveling to a new planet. The science--chemistry and physics--are not overwhelming and are important to the story. This is a book I would read again.

I was extremely surprised by this book! It was a very fast read filled with romance, drama and suspense! This book was a blend of Nora Roberts meets Iris Johansen. You are able to connect and feel for the characters; they are all interconnected more than you know, but easy to keep track of and follow since the number of characters isn't cumbersome. The plot stayed engaging and kept you asking questions, wanting to find out more. Overall a fun, light, quick read! I will definitely pick up more by her!

I’m not very interested in Berenstain Bears

Sharing is so fun! And we learned how it makes everyone feel.

A fun flashback to my childhood with the choose your own adventure books and the Oregon Trail. Reading aloud to the kids was so fun. You died of dysentery. You got rabies from the dog bite. You made it to Oregon City. We had to follow all the paths to experience them all. The kids didn't want the adventure to stop!
