A Billion Reasons Why - Kristin Billerbeck

A Billion Reasons Why

I just read this book in one day, yesterday. It was so good. The story is about Katie who loved Luc in college but was turned down when she proposed to him. So now she is marrying the perfect, practical man....Dexter. Luc shows up on Katie's doorstep to ask her to come sing in his brother's wedding. Luc still loves Katie but is it too late for their love? Katie and Luc share a love for Cary Grant and all the 40's themed movies. I love these movies too. Reading this book made me want to watch Casablanca and An Affair to Remember.

As I read this I found myself not liking Dexter, which is the point of the love story. He reminds me of someone I dated in high school. I laughed, I cried, I just could not put this book down. You will love every minute and not be able to put this book down.

The is book is the first in the Women of Justice series. In this book, Samantha Cash is a FBI agent who uses her knowledge about computers, internet, ip addresses and hard-drives to help capture criminals.

The killer is using the computer, chat rooms and the promise of money to lure these girls to him. He is very good but the FBI is better.

She looks for companionship on the internet and puts herself in sight of the killer. You will be on the edge of your seat waiting to see how the story unfolds.

Don't Blink By James Patterson

Don't Blink

I have been reading more books but not having a chance to review and write about them. I just finished this great book by James Patterson. I love his books. They are very easy reads and have short chapters. In this book, the main character, Nick is a journalist who gets pulled into a murder investigation involving mobsters, corrupt politicians, and killing. Nick has to find out who killed the mob boss's attorney and why they keep trying to kill him as well. I don't want to give too much of the story away, because part of the enjoyment of this book is finding the little connections to the mystery on your own. It was a great read that kept me turning the pages. I hope you enjoy this book too.
