First time reading the book or series. I loved mystery and intrigue behind the who killed Jennifer and why. I loved the setting in Boston. It was interesting that Gallagher a PI could notice more things and figure who was the bad person over the FBI. Gallagher loves the being able to solve the crime.

Sea Clearwater is a young girl who has parents but no clue on her real parents. She recieves this necklace ,and meets new friends like Tom. There was some romance and some fighting. They are fighting Eric Shade over necklace.

There were some pics of the characters and this book is great for 9-+. My daughter would love to read this book.

This book was written by a 13 year old girl.

Thirteen days to Midnight-- Book Review

13 days to Midnight comes out April 2010. Its written by Patrick Carman.

I loved the book Cover. This is a Young adult Novel. Its counts down the days through out the book.

Jacob Fielding just lost his dad in a car crash. Jacob was a foster kid and has been through many homes. He then gets a Dad...Mr. Fielding. He is a mystery to Jacob.

Milo is Jacobs best friend.
Ophelia is Jacob's girl friend.

They all go to a Catholic school in Portland Oregon, and the status of the school is question through out the book too.

The book opens talking about Superpowers and what would you choose. Jacob gets his gift from his "Dad'. Jacob then saves his friends from a car accident , and the story goes from there.

Jacob, Milo , and Oh call the gift a Diamond..but has he experiments with the power...interesting things happen.

A Priest, Milo's dad are friends of Mr. Fielding and know of superpower or Gift. These people were able to to help Jacob as he is trying to figure out the super power. He received an awesome power from his "Dad". ( Not going to say).

Harry Potter Half Blood Prince-- DVD

I'm so excited that this is coming out on DVD. I got to see this movie as a premiere night.

This movie was so awesome. I thought the acting of Malfoy, and Snape was excellent.

I'm so sad that there is only 2 more movies left of Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows.

Sh...I got the kids this movie for Christmas...We have the whole collection.

This was first series that brought me back to Young Adult reading and I was one of those people who had the Book delivered from amazon.com the day it came out. I had just had my first baby and there was no way I was going to a midnight book buying night.

Glitter Girls and Great Fake out: Allie Finkle #5

Allie gets invited to a birthday party of a friend she doesn't really like. She would rather be at a Twirl with friends. This takes place over a weekend. Allie's parents are going to visit Uncle Freddie in San Francisco , while there Aunt Joyce is going to watch them. But then Aunt Joyce got sick, so Uncle Jay and his girlfriend stepped in to help out.

Allie goes to the party and rides in a limo, and does something at Glitterati its like Glamour Shots/Project Runway. I found the Dad to be the voice on reason.

Dads line " the idea of renting a SUV limo and carting a bunch of girls into the city for dinner and a night at hotel suite for a tenth birthday is completely ludicrous , not a mention a waste of money?"

Its a good story about friendships, lying, practice, books, birthday party. These are great stories for girls. At the end of book , there are all of Allie Rules and the list is practical and real.

This book comes out March 2010.

False Convictions- Book Review

Casey hoped to have an open and shut case , a sure success for her first effort with the Freedom Project, the renowned Charity group dedicated to helping free wrongfully convicted prisoners. The freedom project not only gave Casey the chance to help innocent people, but its founder Robert Graham , offered Casey a one million dollar annual pledge to her legal clinic for taking on two cases a year.

Her first assignment is to revive the case of Dwayne Hubbard, and indigent black man serving a life sentence for the rape and murder of a college student twenty years ago. ( Back of the book)

First time reading this author. This was a good mystery and I loved all the twists and turns through out the book. I have never read anything by this author before and this character.

Casey-- lawyer
Jake- Television Reporter

This was a fast moving book with action and some romance. It kept me on my toes in this mystery book. The twists and turns and characters aren't always what they seem to be. I loved that Casey was trying to get a man out of jail.
