Betsy's synopsis:
This is a hysterical
romantic story about a young college girl who always seems to get herself in
trouble because of her big mouth! Not
only can she not keep her own secrets but she also finds herself in hot water
because she can't keep anyone else's secrets.
She says:
I just laughed all the way
through this book. Lizzie, the main
character, is so innocent and so naïve that she really does not realize the
damage that she does when she opens her big mouth. Thankfully there is a sequel so that I can
find out what happens to Lizzie next?

The hero of the novel jumps at
the chance to ghostwrite the memoir of Adam Lang, a controversial British
prime minister that sounds quite a bit like Tony Blair.
As he delves into Lang's past, the secrets he discovers lead him
into danger.
She says:
You won't be able to put this fast
paced thriller down!

Karyn's synopsis:
"Newes from the Dead"
was the name of a pamphlet that circulated in England in 1650 after a
teenage housemaid, hanged for the crime of infanticide, awoke on the
dissecting table. Hooper uses this case as the basis for a historical
mystery that is creepy in the best Edgar Allen Poe tradition, as well as
thought-provoking about sexual harassment and abuse.
She says:
I
found myself holding my breath at times, this is such an interesting
read. When you are done with this book, you are going to want to find
out more about this young girl's story.

Beth's synopsis:
Even though he knows he's not supposed to have
contact with children, a child predator has his eye on a family of five sisters
that he regularly watches walk home from school. The chapters are told in alternating
perspectives of the stalker and the five sisters, who are all absorbed in their
own problems and unaware that one of them might be in trouble.
She says:
Norma Fox Mazer, queen of teen lit in the 1980s,
returns with one of her most compelling novels yet. She is able to depict how easily a child can be
lured into a dangerous situation and gives us insight into the psychology of
the predator. It's a "must read" for
teens and adults. | | |
