More Summer Reading 2016

Gone the Next by Ben Rehder
This is Reheder's ninth novel, but it is the first in the Roy Ballard mystery series. I love mysteries, so this book was a perfect match for me. It kept me interested and engaged with the different characters and scenarios for the kid napping. I love how Rehder intertwined Roy's character's backstory into the novel.

Forget Me Not by John Hemmings
This is a Mark Kane Mysteries Series
This book was a great introduction to the main character, Kane. He is a private investigator that uncovers multi-dimensions from a simple case. But without much evidence, Kane uses his skills to uncover murder, fraud, identity theft, and organized crime.

A Honeybun and Coffee  by Sam Cheever
This is the first book in the Honeybun series of romantic suspense series. The first novel introduces the whole family dynamics with the Honeybun family. It is a mystery with romance. I enjoyed the strong family bond and the multi-talents of the Honeybun family i.e. famous race car driver, doctor, lawyer, former lawyer to President Reagan, Gunny Sergeant, Financial Investment Broker etc.

I also read three more in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Childs: A Wanted Man, The Affair, and Rules of Engagment.

Summer reading 2016

Traitor's Wife by Allison Pataki
A fictional account of  Benedict Arnold's betrayal of our nation. The story had many factual based people, timeline, and events while the character development and the reader's emotional connection was fictional. I enjoyed reading the account of Benedict Arnold and got attached to Clara one of the fictional characters. Even though it was a fictional account of his betrayal, I did learn some true accounts of history from the story. I did attempt to read another story about Benedict Arnold some years ago and was not entertained nor curious enough to finish it.

Summer reading

I know summer just began, but I was dying to begin reading! Dying figuratively not literally. I am sorry to disappoint any future students. The first book I tackled was Lee Child's Jack Reacher novel Make Me. This thriller novel did not disappoint me. It kept me engaged and wondering until the end. I recommend it for adult readers.
The next book I read was 9 Dragons by Michael Connelly. This book is another suspense story with twist and turns with serious consequences. This book is part of the Harry Bosch series Connelly writes. If you like that series, you will like this book.
My next book is The Traitors Wife by Allison Pataki. This might take me a while longer than the other two books. I will check back in when I'm finished.
