Book Reviews from Investigate Some Good Book participants Sacred Stone by Clive Cussler: This novel is very very hard to believe. By the end you truly wish for the bad guy to win. There is no good ending to this novel. The author had no ending for this which makes it super frustrating. Holding the Dream by Nora Roberts: Great book. A woman whose dreams are shattered finds another route. She finds love in the middle. Gift by Nora Roberts: Good one. Two stories of Christmas love. Midnight Bayou by Nora Roberts: Once you pick it up you can't put it down. When two people come together they find out he was the wife who was murdered and she was the husband who was not there to save her life over 100 years before. They have to right the wrong and fall in love all over again. In Silence by Erica Spindler: This book took me until about halfway through to get hooked on it. A surprise ending makes it worth recommending. This is my new favorite author. Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: Good old Sherlock Holmes! Great to re-read some of the old favorites and not have to wade through explicit sex, profanity, and four-letter words! Dance upon the Air by Nora Roberts: Once you pick it up you can't put it down. Divided in Death by J. D. Robb: Good one. You don't know who is involved until the end. Face by Dean Koontz: Like all Koontz books (novels) there's some spooky endings to chapters. The characters are always very indepth and powerful. In this novel you find yourself almost speeding to see what's going to happen. But like a lot of writers the overload of info is very hard to care for. By the end you have seen whats coming for over half. So the end leaves you upset. Needing more of Koontz. Grief Club by Melody Beattie: excellent! helpful and very interesting. Sleeping with Strangers by Eric Jerome Dickey: This book was great. It pulls you in and shows how people draw from their experiences and adapt it to their life accordingly. We have fears, baggage, ect. and it's interesting how that plays out in the book. 3:34:07 PM
