Survive the Night

4/5

I feel I may be in the minority on this one. I really liked it. I had most of it figured out, but still found it interesting to read and wondered how it would end.

First off, let's talk about Charlie how she is not a smart cookie. She does some of the dumbest things. I am truly amazed she survives anything. She's not the brightest crayon in the box.

I liked the red herrings that were tossed in there along with a pretty good twist. I liked that it shifted a couple times and you were not sure if it was coming or going. I realize and know most of this book is far fetched and not the most correct in a lot of ways. There were a couple times something was used or said that was not in the 90s timeline.

The mention of many classic movies is always a welcome thing. Alfred Hitchcock is awesome and so are his movies. I loved this about the book. All those classic movies.

I definitely liked it

The Photographer

3/5

Oh boy, what do I say ?? I was hoping this would be a better book then it was. It was not all together bad, but failed to live up to my expectations.
A photographer, a good song used as a name, making of a good book. A lot of the photography stuff was actually pretty much on point. I prefer Nikon over Canon, not that is mattered that much. A lot of my photography friends shoot Canon.

 Loved the song Delta Dawn, one of the favorites when traveling. Yes, sung by Tanya Tucker In her earlier career.

The story really didn’t have a lot of excitement. It’s more of a slow paced, with a few moments that you question. No huge plot twist. Slow and steady. For the most part I was kept interested.

Was an ok book but nothing to write home about.

Also, when writing or taking, about people with hearing loss, the term “hearing impaired” is not the right term to use. It’s implies that we are broken, in need of being fixed. Not the case. We are proud of our culture and don't see ourselves as needed to be fixed or broken. Use; deaf of HoH.

Watching You

4/5
3.5 rounded up for the backstory.
I found this book a little hard to get into. The story was good and again a story that brings bulling to the heart of the story.

There were twists and a turn or two but I saw it coming. It’s when they bring the story full circle that has you understanding better why. There was a red herring or two as well. I liked some of the characters but not all of them.
Overall it was a good book. Easy read.
Points for blue Lexus and well-met from worst witch.
