Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

Rating: 4/5 Stars We'll I finally read and finished Eclipse! I can't believe I made it through and thoroughly enjoyed the story in the process. Let me explain a bit why I am so surprised. When I first read Twilight I was intrigued by Bella, Edward and Jacob but I seriously could not stand Bella. Then I immediately went on to New Moon without a break and enjoyed Bella and Jacob without Edward so much that when I then immediately went on to eclipse and Edward was back and Bella was so desperate for him, I just couldn't take it anymore and just about threw the book out the window. I didn't throw it out the window but I did stop reading it. I recently watched New Moon and it reminded me how much I enjoyed it when I read it and I must admit I have fallen in love with Jacob's character (and yes Taylor Lautner too). It has been at least a year now since I read New Moon and thought enough time had gone by that I was ready for Eclipse, especially with the movie coming o...

8th Confession by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro

Rating: 3/5 Stars A silent killer is on the loose in San Francisco, killing the elite members of society. These deaths look like anything but murder but these people are too healthy to be dying of natural causes. This makes Claire, of the women's murder club, nervous and determined to find the cause of death. In the meantime, the brutal death of one of San Fransisco lowest members of society, the street people, is causing a ruckus because no one seems to care that this man is dead. As a favor to Cindy, who is reporting on the fact that the death of a street person goes unpunished, Lindsay uses her free time to look into this death. Between Cindy and Lindsay's investigations, they start to wonder that maybe this man isn't as wonderful as everyone on the street is making him out to be. As usual, there is a third story intertwined with a trial and Yuki, but it really takes a back burner to the other things happening in the story. As my first book completed in the month of marc...

7th Heaven by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro

My first book of 2010 is finally finished! Rating: 4/5 Stars Book 7 of the Women's Murder Club is the best one yet. There are two story lines and as I always want but never get, until now, the stories converge! That's all the spoilers you'll get from me but it's really very well done. The first story line is of deadly house fires happening in wealthy suburban houses that don't look exactly accidental. Leads to the case are hard to come by and catching whose responsible seems impossible but, Lindsay Boxer and her partner are on the case to figure out who is setting these fires and why. In the second story the son of a prominent political figure has been missing for some time and finally a lead pans out and information comes pouring in - with unsettling results. There are several other subplots that work around the Ladies of the women's murder club and keep things interesting for all involved. All-in-all a worthy addition to the women's murder club ser...
