What can be said; A American id=s one of the three top Authors I love reading their books. They keep me involved through the entire book and leave me wanting more. My hat's off to A American the my other two favorites.

You have done it agan, Janice Dembosky.  The trilogy has had me glued to the pages.  I couldn't wait for the third read to come out and when it did I was NOT disappointed.  The lives of the families made me belive these people were neighbors.  After this I hope you plan on more books.  Your characters have come to life and need to have the children continue their journeys.  Thanks for three wonderful books.

I have now happily read Sugar Daddy three times and will read it again. I have also read the two books that follow it, Blue-Eyed Devil and Smooth Talking Stranger. Altogether they are a powerful trio of books about contemporary life. Each of them confront a variety of today's dilemmas -- the kind of problems you read about in the news every day or hear about from your friends.

Sugar Daddy grabbed me from the first page and I read it in one big gulp. I had to go back a week later and reread it for the details I'd missed the first time. Then I had to wait for books two and three to be published. Lucky readers can pick up and read all three books without the long wait between each.

I believe I've read all of Lisa's books. This one and its two companions are my all time favorites. They're gripping page turners. You won't be disappointed.

I loved this book. It constantly amazes me how an author can capture place and time and emotion in words. Lori makes me feel like I'm in New York or L.A. And it 's familiar and part of me and I'm part of the story. The characters feel like people I know, they are believable and you want to root for them and invest in them. I can't think of a better feeling when I read a book, the feeling of wanting to affect the action and Lori does that for me. The fact that this is the first in a series of three books is a bonus. It drives me crazy when I get to the end of the book and I'm not ready to stop reading the story. So on to books 2 & 3!

I've officially read Twist twice and can't get enough of Dannika Dark's Mageri series! I love the amount of personality she puts into her characters, giving them the ability to jump from the black-on-white contrast of words on paper, and walk about on their own volition. I'm desperate to read the upcoming Mageri book, Impulse (due out this month) and intend to read through the first two a third time just to find all the new twists and turns that were missed without Impulse.

Dannika has been named my current favorite author (aside from myself) and I unabashedly admit to being a regular member of a Facebook fan page created to support Dannika as an amazing Indie author and fantastic individual.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Don't miss out on the first book, Sterling, and keep your eyes open for the release of Impulse due out this month!

This is now the second book I have read from The Holy Ghost Writer and in The Count of Monte Cristo series. I originally read the Anonymous Girl and I liked it so much I wanted to read another from this author. That Girl Started Her Own Country lived up to the expectations I had from reading the Anonymous Girl. Zaydee is back again and fierce as ever. This time she must defend herself against false charges. The storyline kept me guessing until the end with a lot of suspense with twists and turns. I highly recommend this and the other books to everyone! They are truly a great find.

A American is one of my favorite authors. This series is great love the military men and the MC. No one in the story is perfect and they pay for mistakes made, but all are so human and I can get into the story.

I LOVED Robert Pobi's River of the Dead, now being released in the US as American Woman.  http://www.amazon.com/American-Woman-Robert-Pobi/dp/1477818219/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Robert Pobi once again takes you on a roller coaster ride of twists and turns, and just when you think you've figured it all out, he pulls a fast one and proves you wrong again.  You quickly find yourself rooting for the good guy (Alex is a very cool lady homicide detective in this story) and looking over your shoulder for the bad guy, especially if you are up reading late into the night.

Like Bloodman (released as Eye of the Storm in the US) and Mannheim Rex, Pobi's River of the Dead (American Woman in the US) is an excellent & fast paced page turner.  Be warned, do not pick up the book unless you have the willpower to put it down, or the time on your hands and the courage to read it right through the night!

Looking forward to reading more from Robert Pobi, and I hope to read another book with his excellent lady Alex Hemmingway. :)

Marian Keyes is back as my favorite author, right up there with Nick Hornby.  I have read everything she's ever written.  Her last few books left me feeling less than than elated but I'm loyal.

  And she's back.  Making my life easier to handle because I have the worlds she creates to immerse myself in.  Her characters become my best

friends.  I find myself talking about them during dinner with my husband.

  The minute I open her books I am swept away to another world, where I'm a fly on the wall, where I identify with the depth of feeling and vulnerability of her characters, and where I don't feel like such an odd ball in the world.  We're all odd balls.  It's what keeps life interesting.

  But her books do so much more for me than entertain.  They enlighten me, they make me think about the circumstances of people, and they make me feel a plethora of emotions.

  In the words of e.e. cummings, she opens me, pedal by pedal.  When I closed this book I just sat there staring at it, carressing the cover, thanking it for giving to me without asking for anything in return (except the cover price, which was worth every penny.  I have a Marian Keyes library.)

  Don't miss out on this gem!

When I picked up this book, number one of three, I was so hooked that I bought the 3 in one edition, the big book with the three parts. I love the pace, it's always interesting, fast and deep. Many writers fill their stories to make the book 4-5 hundred or more page. This here is what just became one of my top  favorite books/writers. Love the book, love every aspect and technique used to keep readers immersed in the story. Just loved it, five stars from me Brent!! Here's to a healthy career and many books to write.

Glad I purchased all three books in this trilogy, as I enjoyed both Ellis Island and City of Hope.  It's a fireside read that makes you wonder if Ellie is just a restless person or running away from her feelings--or both?  Her mind never stops, and her rush to leave Ireland after her husband dies and return to New York (where she finds so much has changed in the 10 years since she was there prior) has her actively helping the homeless.  I love the way the author puts the diverse characters together, and there are many!, without having to remember all of them.  I suggest reading Ellis Island first before starting this book, and also suggest getting the third book, Land of Dreams, as this book will leave you knowing it's a story to be continued!

Becoming Death is book three in this trilogy created by the talented D.T. Dyllin, if you haven't read the previous books you shouldn't read this review.

Becoming Death is the book where we finally learn the truth. It's the book that brings all the answers for the tricky web created around Sam and her love ones.

Sam will finally discovered why she and Austin have been chased, what do they really want with them and their powers. Of course, super incredible secrets will be revealed. So as you see... action and suspense are always present.

One of the good things about these books is the darkness in them. This one doesn't dissapoint when we talk about the deepness of the emotions. When dealing with death you can expect dark characters who explore the different shades of it and forgetting their humanity.

Another typical occurence in this trilogy is how complex and intricate is the past and its consequences. In this installment little by little everything comes clear and every loose end is resolved.
Again we have the flashbacks from the past, a good resource to refresh the previous events and stay tunned with what is happening.

The book alternates POV between Sam, Austin and Nixon, which is great because it allows to have a look at the bigger picture. We can understand the choices each character makes.

I was sort of expecting surprises that blow up my mind, however, there are no words to describe some of the s*** that happens here. The author created such a solid and intriguing world where you never know what's next.

Of course romance is present. The relationship between Sam and Austin is so strong that you could read only about it leaving the rest of the story aside. Their passion is a force to recon and the tension between them and Nixon is incredible.

I have to say that I love the sense of danger present during the book, the feeling of being on the edge of falling into abyss. Sam is a great character and I'm happy about the great book she has to end the trilogy.

Im so thrilled to discover in this third and final book of the Defenders of Hope series, all my favorite characters are back from Ransomed Dreams, Steven and Gracie and Clint and Sara, from Healing Promises. The stories of Hanna, Stevens sister and Michael, Stevens partner are told in Enduring Justice.

 I commend Amy Wallace for being brave enough to talk about the subject matter in this book. Heres what she says in the authors note section, Its true that every book has some pieces of the author in itFor five years, Id denied what happened or hid and blamed myself. When my walls of secrecy started to crumble, I felt alone, exposed and more terrified than I could handle. But God met me there.

Amy and her characters learned that forgiveness sets the captives free. Forgiveness permeates this story. In the middle of a very personal situation for Hanna, another tough issue raises its ugly head - racially motivated killings. One of the characters has this to say, I know not all white folks act like those I grew up around. But no amount of my stories will help you see what its like to grow up black in a white world. So, its true, we can sympathize, but we cant totally get the full affect.

The author busts through the lies her characters believe. Its only then that the truth can set you free  forever. Gods truth and what He says about us is powerful. We just have to believe it. Walking in truth will affect every area of your life. Youll see that in this story. Youll definitely want to read Enduring Justice a suspenseful conclusion to this series.
