The Bride Collector -- Book Review

FBI special agent Brad Raines is facing his most complex case yet. A Denver serial killer has murdered a string of beautiful young woman , leaving a bridal veil at each scene, and he picking up his pace. Unable to crack the case, Raines appeals for help to a most unusual source: residents of the Center for Well Being and Intelligence, a private psychiatric institution for mentally ill people who are extraordinary gifted.


Its there he meets Paradise, a young woman who witnessed her father murder her family and barley escaped his hand. Diagnosed with schizophrenia , Paradise may also have an extra sensory gift: the ability to experience the final moments of a person's life when she touches the dead body. ( Back of the book)


I did read his previous book of The Boneman's Daughter and it was okay.


New book and new characters.

Brad-- FBI

Paradise- girl at institution

Quinton-- bad guy



It was okay story but there was alot mentioning of God's will and love. I think the romance between happened too fast between Brad and Paradise. I did like that Brad thought out of the box to solve a crime that was very weird. Brad was also attracted to Nicki too.

Quinton takes Nicki captive and has always been in love with Paradise. Paradise has to rescue Brad from the Bride Collector. Paradise also has a bipolar agoraphobia

I did like the cover. There were times I didn't want to finish it but there was a part of me that wanted to find out what happens.

Thanks to Center Street for the book and this is my Honest Review.

Rant--School District

Dear School District--

I have been in this school district for 7 years. I have been able to get services for kids for speech for 3 of my kids. My kids have been in the preschool for 3 years. I do understand that things change and are different. That's been my experience so far and I 4 kids in the school district.

I have been pretty happy with teachers , schools and overall process of things. I even understand why Thursdays are the short days and dealt with this for 4 years.

But this year I have actually had reason to complain on 2 issues.

The new computer grading system..it doesn't have the IEP/Speech or English language learners on the form. Which if you are going to look at the child's grades and not see that IMPORTANT information regarding if they are getting services is wrong. I was surprised that I had to complain because I feel that its important part of the report card and it was on there with previous kids report cards.

The next issue is with the Centralized Registration Department. The information being give to me as Parent isn't very clear. I feel that moving all the Registration to one central location means that you will be able to see the flow of children at a school and have cause to close schools. I understand the reasoning behind this and I know that you are losing students to Homeschooling, other districts. I'm glad that someone called me to change a appointment because YOU overbooked at that time , not me. But I find it interesting that I made 3 calls within 1 week and never got a call back. I had to 3 visits to the Central Office just to get all the information, which could have been easily taken care with 1 phone call back. YOU need better PR. I feel the needs of being a parent are being slowly taken away, and that the only time you listen, is when we complain.

This used to be a Great district. I'm not too sure what your plans are for my children's school. I'm happy with the Staff and being able to communicate with them about anything regarding my children.

Sincerely

a mom
