Book 111: Ruthless

Barnes and Noble's Description:

Written by: Sara Shepard

Description: 

For years scandal has rocked Rosewood, Pennsylvania—and high school seniors Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Spencer have always been at the center of the drama. They’ve lost friends, been targeted by a ruthless stalker named A, and narrowly escaped death. And it’s not over yet.

Aria’s love life is on the fritz. Emily’s exploring her wild side. Hanna’s kissing the enemy. And someone from Spencer’s past—someone she never thought she’d see again—is back to haunt her.

But none of that compares to what happened last spring break. It’s their darkest secret yet and guess who found out? Now A is determined to make them pay for their crime, and the only thing scarier than A is the fear that maybe, just maybe, they deserve what’s coming to them.

My Thoughts: 

Yet another Pretty Little Liars. I have to admit I was afraid I would be getting tired of these by now, but this one kept me reading and guessing what was going to happen next. I think there are at least two more planned after this one so I am excited to see those and see what happens. Whereas these girls do not have the best morals per say, the drama keeps me wanting to read.

Book 110: The Key to Midnight

Barnes and Noble's Description:

Written by: Dean Koontz

Description: 

Joanna Rand left the U.S. ten years ago to sing in a Japanese nightclub. Ever since, she's been plagued with nightmares of terror. There is only one man who can help her—Alex Hunter. Ten years ago he saw her picture in the papers—as a senator's daughter who had disappeared. Now he has to bring her memories back to her, memories of a past more terrifying than they dreamed possible...

My Thoughts: 

This book was suggested to me by a co-worker. It is the second Koontz I've read and I really enjoyed it. I will admit near the middle of the book I got bored but I enjoyed the story. The end had the surprising twist that I always love in books. I just started reading Koontz recently and he did not disappoint me with this one, I look forward to reading more of his novels!

Book 109: Spring of Candy Apples

Barnes and Noble's Description:

Written by: Debbie Viguie

Description: 

They're fun! They're quirky! They're Sweet Seasons---unlike any other girls' books you've ever read. You could call them alternative, God-honoring chick lit. Join Candy Thompson on a sweet, lighthearted, and honest romp through the friendships, romances, family, school, faith, and values that make a girl's lie as full as it can be.

It's the end of Candace's senior year, and life's getting sticky.

A promotion to The Zone's Candy Counter means Candace gets to create gooey treats all day long. She is a finalist for The Zone's college scholarship (Florida anyone?), things with Kurt are getting really weird, and she's bothered by all the questions about her future. Not unlike the challenge of making candy apples, Candace struggles to resist getting stuck and believe in what is truly at her core.

My Thoughts: 

The last in the series. I still love reading about a theme park, since I worked in one for so long. This was very predictable but still a good read. All four of these books are fast paced and good stories. I look forward to reading them again soon.

My Grade: A+
