Judgment in Death

It's an Eve Dallas book with Yummy Roarke. Indeed it's a 5 star book!!!

LOL!

Just finished Lie Canthropy by Jerry McKinney. This was a 5 star short story. He writes short stories and I love his stories. Creepy stuff! I reviewed one of his books and he then gave me coupons for 3 more of his books on Smashwords- awesome!

I finished Dragon Night by Stephanie Campbell. A new genre for me and I really enjoyed it- 5 stars! I't not into science fiction and fantasy usually as it's usually too far-reaching for me to grasp (or want to) but this was good.

I just read a short story today from Sue Senden, an author from Iowa and it was pretty good. :o) "The December Bride"

Just finished The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom - great read!!
