Title: A Dark Lure Author: Loreth Anne White It's been over a month since my last review, and I apologize for that. The lengthy absence was due to a number of factors: my health, a hectic life, and the fact that a lot of the books that I'm reading are quite lengthy. This wasn't one of the lengthier books, but I have to say, it was definitely a great read. I had a hard time getting through it, not because it was bad, but because it was so good. The author did such a good job of writing a thriller that I would literally have a sense of dread so severe that I would have to put the book down and read something else, just because I was so nervous! That said, this is definitely one of the better thrillers I have ever read. One of the things I like most about it is that, though there is a love story subplot, this is not a story where the man saves the woman. The woman saves herself. It's definitely refreshing in this genre. There were a couple of grammatical issues I...

Title: Two Weeks Notice Author: Whitney G. Okay, from the cover, I knew it wasn't going to be fine literature, but boy is this book trashy. I mean, it's so  trashy. It is seriously the trashiest thing I have ever read in my life. It's like she read Fifty Shades of Grey  and thought to herself, "How can I be even sleazier?" It got a few chuckles out of me, and the writing wasn't terrible. I just...I mean, how many times did I have to read about how "wet" she was? Why was she so turned on by this horrible human being? Like, he clearly had control issues and was probably going to turn out to be a wife beater, but okay. And am I supposed to believe that he could get away with treating employees that way? And why would anyone leave a child in the care of this psycho? I don't understand. I was not a fan at all of this book, but for the few laughs, I give it two out of five stars.

Title: Whisper Me This Author: Kerry Anne King I got Whisper Me This  on Amazon's First Reads in July. It had just came out, and it had good reviews. I have a pretty extensive To Be Read pile, so I don't generally get to new books right away, but this one seemed so promising that I decided to jump it to the top of the list. I was really disappointed. The story is okay, though it's a bit predictable. My two biggest problems with the book are that the author doesn't seem to have any understanding of the proper use of commas and that the characters are far too one-dimensional to be interesting. The only parts of the book that I truly enjoyed were the excerpts from Leah's journal. To be completely honest, I would have far preferred to have the story be about her rather than having it be about her daughter. She was more complex, and her story was devastating. I think the book would have had more impact if it was more about Leah. All in all, it wasn...
