Wind through the keyhole by Stephen King

“Loved getting back into the groove of reading a book containing the crew from the Dark Tower trilogy. Felt like I picked up right where I left off even though this book should of been out earlier between the other titles. Your still able to fall right back into step with the story.”

A Touch of Crimson by Sylvia Day

“My first time reading this author - enjoyed the story though it was a little more "steamy" than I expected! I enjoyed the battles between the two main characters with being torn between what was right and their attraction to each other. Looking forward to more of her books coming out!”

Full dark, no stars by Stephen King

“I really enjoyed the fact that they were short stories but I was taken aback by some of the graphic detail in them but in a good way. I found myself wanting the stories to continue on. The characters were well rounded.”

In Another Man's Bed by Francis Ray

“Best friends, Justine & Brianna, support each other through some difficult times and men problems. It took me a minute to get into this book, actually half way through, I read the last few pages to see if I wanted to continue. It turned out pretty good.”

Reader Recommendations

Thanks to everyone who sends in a book review.  We love to see what people are reading!

Dawn sent us this review of an old classic with a modern twist:

The Family Fortune by Laurie Horowitz

 

“This novel is a modern adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion. I picked up it for a quick easy summer read and found it to be exactly the enjoyable read that I expected - same romanticized view of the world, same characters, same plot line, with just a modernization of the frivolity.”

Thanks to Lisa for these two great reviews:

Abraham Lincoln: vampire hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith

“Amazing combination of history and horror! Grahame-Smith weaves the popular lore of vampires with real American history into a book that you can't put down!”

The Maze Runner by James Dashner

“Found this book in the "teen" section, but it had me on the edge of my seat! When a virus is accidentally set loose on humankind, a test-group of teenagers is put through unspeakable trials in an attempt to find a cure (part one, of a trilogy).”

A couple more from Rewa!

Fifty Shades Darker, Book 2 by E. L. James

“After book 1, I was looking forward to continuing where Christian's & Anastasia's love story left off in book 1. This book was more 'adult situations' and less story line. Villains were incorporated as the couple continues to learn how to deal with each other.”

Fifty Shades Freed, Book 3 by E. L. James

“Book 3 appeared to be an add-on to the original. I found that it tried to 'normalize' Christian's & Anastasia's relationship.  They were able to overcome many obstacles. Overall, I enjoyed the trilogy but there was too much hype around it.”

 

Behind the Duke's Door by Lynne Silver

“Harry has a frowned upon, 'secret' relationship with Arthur and Elizabeth is well aware of it and has agreed to marry him and give him an heir anyway. The wedding night is shocking. This book just might shock you - be warned!” Available as a free eBook through OverDrive
