I had a little bit of a hard time getting into this book, but I kept going and I was glad I read it. The ending was a surprise. I hate when you read a book and you just know what is going to happen.

The Skull Ring 7743143
THE SKULL RING

Dr. Pamela Forrest is determined to bring Julia's memories to the surface, hoping to heal Julia's panic disorder. The therapist keeps returning Julia to a night twenty-three years ago when Julia was four. A night of hooded figures, strange chants, pain, and blood. The night her father disappeared from the face of the earth.

But the line between the past and the present begins to blur when Julia finds a silver skull ring that bears the name "Judas Stone." Someone is leaving strange messages inside her house, even though the door is locked. The handyman, who has a key, spends a lot of time in the woods behind her house. Her boyfriend Mitchell becomes distant and violent. And the cop who investigated her father's disappearance has followed her to the small Appalachian town of Elkwood.

Now she has a head full of memories, but she doesn't know which are real and which are the creations of Dr. Forrest. The shadows of Julia's panic are growing larger and darker. But succumbing to madness seems safer than heeding the whispers that claim ownership of her body and soul.

The story takes place in Elkwood, North Carolina. When Julia was 4 years old, her dad disappeared. She has some kind of scars on her stomach, and she thinks it was part of a satanic ritual. She isn't sure how involved her dad would have been in this ritual. Also, Julia thinks she is being stalked by some kind of a creep. She is going to counseling with Dr. Pamela Forrest to try to help her. Dr. Forrest is trying to help Julia remember what happened to her when she was younger. It's really hard for Julia to go back to those memories, and she would rather just forget about them. She is having weird dreams too.

There is another character in the story that is trying to help her, but she is warned to stay away from this person. It's hard to know who she can really trust. Not only does she see some kind of creep, but there is something weird going on with her digital clock and the blocks on the coffee table.

When reading this I could tell Scott Nicholson has a sense of humor. Here is a quote and you will see why:

"A Creep in a jeep? Sounded too much like Dr. Seuss to be dangerous. Silly. A coy boy with a toy, bark in the dark, a mental muddle puddle. Still the adrenaline jolt tingled her nerves at a hundred amps and caused her fingers to twitch." (Kindle loc. 113-114)

I also liked this quote:

"A real man doesn't mind a little meat on the bone." (Kindle loc. 782-83)

I read a lot of this book in the car on a family trip. I went to a concert that night (Slayer/Rob Zombie!!). When we got back to where we were staying at 1:00 a.m., I couldn't sleep so I tried to read more of this book. My ears were ringing, so it was a little tough to concentrate. Plus, it seemed like it was going to get really scary, and everyone else was sleeping. I decided to put the book down until the next day. It really didn't end up as scary as I thought it would be. I know there was talk of creeps and everything, but it wasn't an overly scary book.

Overall, I enjoyed the book and was not sure who in the book could be trusted and who couldn't. It was full of suspense and really kept me guessing. I really look forward to reading more by Scott Nicholson! The ending was totally unexpected too!

Aggie's Nine Heroes 11504644 458 Diana Laurence 0984308636 Cheryl 4
Aggie and her grandpa had a very precious relationship. She was lucky to get to spend so much time with him. I could tell how much he really loved her too. He never just left her. He took her with him when he went somewhere. Aggie knew she was lucky that she got to live with her grandfather. He has a few surprises in store too! He is quite an amazing person!

I really liked Aggie. Diana Laurence did an awesome job building her and her grandfather’s characters. They were people that could be someone that you know. They really came to life for me. She had so many dreams and she wasn’t afraid to follow them. That is really a great lesson. Sometimes we get caught up in life and forget about dreams and what we can do to better our life or better the lives of others. She really is an inspiration.

I recommend this book!

The Enemy (Jack Reacher, #8) 40092150
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING JACK REACHER SERIES • “A thriller that gallops at a breakneck pace.”—Chicago Sun-Times

Jack Reacher. Hero. Loner. Soldier. Soldier’s son. An elite military cop, he was one of the army’s brightest stars. But in every cop’s life there is one case that changes everything. For Jack Reacher, this is that case.

New Year’s Day, 1990. In a North Carolina motel, a two-star general is found dead. His briefcase is missing. Nobody knows what was in it. Within minutes Reacher has his orders: Control the situation. Within hours the general’s wife is murdered. Then the dominoes really start to fall.

Somewhere inside the vast worldwide fortress that is the U.S. Army, Reacher is being set up as a fall guy with the worst enemies a man can have. But Reacher won’t quit. He’s fighting a new kind of war—against an enemy he didn’t know he had. And against a conspiracy more chilling, ingenious, and treacherous than anyone could have guessed.

The Enemy, like most of the books in the Jack Reacher series, can be read as a standalone thriller.]]>

Crescendo (Hush, Hush, #2) 8900616
Nora should have known her life wouldn’t stay perfect for long. Despite starting a relationship with her bad boy guardian angel, Patch, and surviving an attempt on her life, things are not looking up. Patch is starting to pull away and Nora can’t figure out if it’s for her best interest or if his interest has shifted to her arch-enemy Marcie Millar. Not to mention that Nora is haunted by images of her father and starting to become obsessed with finding out what really happened to him that night he left for Portland and never came home.

The farther Nora delves into the mystery of her father’s death, the more she comes to question if her Nephilim blood line has something to do with it as well as why she seems to be in danger more than the average girl when she has a guardian angel. Since Patch isn’t answering her questions, she has to start finding the answers on her own. But when she finds them, will she be able to count on Patch or are the things he’s hiding from her darker than she can imagine?]]>

<![CDATA[The Kiss of Judas (The Fiery Furnace)]]> 9016385 288 Renee Allen McCoy 1934195553 Cheryl 5
The main characters that you will read about in this book are Isaiah and Justine. I like the fact that the chapters go back and forth between each character's point of view. I always enjoy finding out what each of the characters is thinking! Isaiah wanted to get closer to God, but Justine just blew all of that talk off. She was afraid to settle down with Isaiah and wanted to see what else was out there before. That's why she was also seeing Tony. Hector wanted Isaiah to go out with a woman named Deborah that was really into him. Isaiah just didn't know what to do because he was with Justine, but he just needed a break from everything too.

I liked Isaiah because he knew that he wanted and he made changes to his life for the better. He believed that God had bigger and better things for him, and he made a decision and stuck to it no matter what. Justine was the character that you just never knew what she would do next and believe me when I say that you will not forget her after you read this book!

The Kiss of Judas by Renee Allen McCoy was a very enjoyable book that I would recommend!]]>

After years of hard work, his future looks bright but in the process of obtaining his law degree Ben has incurred a boat load of debt. After making a horrible decision meant to help set him free of his financial worries, Ben is left with the prospect of disbarment or jail hanging over his head, leaving him to scramble for his life. Demetrius, a rogue stock broker has become the personal stock broker to Rawlings. Having recently lost a substantial amount of
Rawlings' funds on the stock market he now has a death threat hanging over his head with only 30 days to make good on his losses. He knows that Ben, as the law clerk to Judge Pomerance, has access to financially sensitive information that can easily satisfy Demetrius' needs.
Rawlings, a ruthless, money driven drug kingpin enjoys the justice he finds in brutal, cold blooded murder. The way he sees it, Demetrius will repay his debt to him in thirty days or he'll enjoy providing extreme justice. As watchful and paranoid as he is, he has missed who his biggest enemy is.
What has made them may also bring them down. Why? Because destiny has said it must be so.

Having completed a culinary course in Paris--along with a hot love affair--Bianca feels more than ready to take the reins in L.A. Her parents' insistence that she marry a man of their choosing only fuels her ambition.

Show Stoppah 10816385 Show Stoppah is a brutal green-mile of injustice, walked by two women through domestic abuse, kidnapping, rape, slave trafficking, and contract killings, ending the journey by commandeering a radio station, home to a national show in an effort to share their stories about the atrocities suffered at the hands of two powerful men.

Homeless at sixteen, Kimpa fell in love with aspiring writer Brody Ellis. Needing money, Brody becomes a pimp, and Kimpa sells her body to obtain a piece of the American dream. Isis meets handsome Denairo Ganteeny, who was posing as an F.B.I. agent. After she witnesses Denairo commit murder she realizes the truth—Denairo isn’t F.B.I. but a hit man, and she is now his prisoner.

Show Stoppah is the courageous story of women who survive and escape the harshness of two powerful men. Bound together by heartache, physical abuse, and betrayal, Kimpa and Isis design an elaborate plot for revenge. Armed with automatic weapons, they storm the parking lot of a radio station in the early morning hours, taking over the airwaves to tell their stories of abuse, hoping to inspire and unite battered women across the nation. And even though the police have sealed off the building and large crowds have gathered outside the station, these two women will only surrender once they share their stories. In Show Stoppah, readers will see what happens when two women are pushed to the limits of frustration, and exactly what they’re prepared to do to earn respect.]]>

The Kat Trap 6296379 A sexy, raw debut novel about the life of a young murderess who lures her victims to their own deaths by seducing them.

Ghetto-born and street-raised, Katrina -- or Kat for short, is a self-proclaimed hood goddess. With her in-your-face razor-sharp attitude, alluring charm, and exotic beauty, Katrina is vivacious, vicious, and unsuspectingly dangerous. Detached from her emotions, she has no time for regrets. The product of a neglectful mother and an incarcerated father, Katrina is willing to do whatever it takes to climb -- or kill -- her way out of the hood.

Calculated and cunning, Katrina already has two bodies on her hands by the ripe age of twenty. When a mysterious man invites her to join his multi-million dollar "work-for-hire" network of professional assassins, it becomes the opportunity of a lifetime. The first female killer on his team, she travels all over the United States and fulfills the bloody requests of her every client. With each murder, Katrina feels more and more powerful -- killing turns out to be an addictive aphrodisiac for her and the rush of violence is the only thing that satisfies her insatiable libido. Before killing each victim, Katrina tempts them with her irresistible, delectable charms -- and not one of them can resist.

Disturbingly witty and devilishly enticing, The Kat Trap is an edgy, fast-paced urban drama with fascinating psychological elements that demonstrate how anger and bitterness can perpetuate self-destructive behaviors. Readers will be enthralled by Kat's deliciously criminal world of money and glamour, shocked by her cutthroat ambition and ruthlessness, and accosted by her physical and sexual prowess.

Moist 13438666



(Excerpt from Crying Orgasms)


Your voice is muted almost as if it has forgotten how to speak, how to scream, how to moan and how to allow pleasure to ravage your body and fill your deepest senses. The only thing that is comparable to the pleasure you are feeling right now are the dreams that occupy your mind every night when you wake up flushed from another nocturnal orgasm. You wake up sometimes, sweating, naked, alone and wanting something to fill your moist ache. Dreams cannot transfer their fevered passion to reality—until now—until him. He is here to warm winter’s cold away. You prayed for his presence in your life, in your heart and in your bed.
Every thrust of his manhood into the wetness of your innermost desires brings you closer to experiencing something that has escaped you until this very moment. Something you thought you would live your entire life without ever having known. Now that you are so close to the ultimate feeling of Nirvana, you tremble in anticipation of having multiple orgasms raging through your body without restraint. For pleasure, you will succumb willingly and allow it to lead you into its sweet embrace. It is what you crave to feel with all your senses. Pleasure so intense, it brings you to tears.
It is the unanswered question aching in your heart.


(Excerpt from Sweat)

He knows even if her garden is moist and her rose flower is ready to accept the thickly veined hardness of his erection that patience from him is needed. Her rising body temperature will only intensify their passion when he penetrates the sweetness of her moist flesh. Before he can indulge in the pleasure of her warm dessert, he does what any good husband would do for his wife when he knows the things which will bring her pleasure. He drops to his knees and they sink into the maroon colored carpet. She tilts forward with her palms open and pressed against the glass louvers. She hates leaving fingerprints on anything but she has to remind herself not to be so anal about everything. Enjoy the moment she reminds herself even though she is already thinking about the dirt he has tracked through the kitchen and up the stairs to their bedroom. The feel of his lips kissing her backside brings her back to the moment and she cannot help but shudder as he spreads her open in search of deeper humidity to warm his tongue.
All of this is yours her body says to his tongue as it penetrates her so deeply that it feels as if it’s now part of her body. She feels as if her body has given birth to his tongue and she wants to keep it inside of her forever.]]>

<![CDATA[Living Beyond Your Feelings: Controlling Emotions So They Don't Control You]]> 11921687
In LIVING BEYOND YOUR FEELINGS , Joyce Meyer examines the gamut of feelings that human beings experience. She discusses the way that the brain processes and stores memories and thoughts, and then - emotion by emotion - she explains how we can manage our reactions to those emotions. By doing that, she gives the reader a toolbox for managing the way we react to the onslaught of feelings that can wreak havoc on our lives.

In this book, Meyer blends the wisdom of the Bible with the latest psychological research and the 4 personality types and their influence on one's outlook, the impact of stress on physical and emotional health, the power of memories, the influence of words on emotions, anger & resentment, sadness, loss & grief, fear, guilt & regret, the power of replacing reactions with pro-actions, and the benefits of happiness.]]>

The Blood Done Signed my Name 13423289
Undoubtedly damaged, Honey Lamb, like many, is a descendant of an unfortunate legacy of molestation, addiction, murder and bad decisions. For as long as she could remember, she believed the unhappiness she experienced was somehow bequeathed to her. The blood that surged through her veins seemed to be tainted and she often wondered about the DNA she possessed. Experiencing more than her share of misery and feeling unable to escape what she believed to be her destiny, Honey makes a decision that may have ruined her life. Not realizing God places people in our lives for His purpose, she reluctantly embarks upon a journey that will open her eyes and heart to a divine inheritance. Will she shun the invitation of salvation and allow her familial carnal legacy to continue to the next generation or will she come to understand that Jesus’ blood redeemed us from a self-defeating existence because He became the sinful inheritance for us while at the same time eradicating it forever, giving us a spiritual blood transfusion that would change us all? Either way she will never be the same.]]>

And swallow what?", "I've NEVER done that, I Swear!"ĚýĚýĚýĚý These are just a few of the phrasesused by women who refuse to give their man a blow job.

Sadly enough these same women demand that a man not only go down on them butto give multiple comatose orgasms all while swallowing up every bit of the juices they excrete. There are also the women who fall in the opposite of this category. They won't even let a man's face even come near their nether regions for fear that he will ask that the favor bereturned, as he rightly should. And so they have given up that part of sex altogether.ĚýI'm here to tell you girl, you are missing out!ĚýĚýĚýĚý Then there are the ones who can suck the skin off of a dick but refuse to admit it to anyone. They even have the nerve to put down other women who talk about their own personal experiences on the subject. And let's not forget the lady who WILL actually go down on her man but she also secretly hates doing it. The only reason she does it is because he wants it. He usually has to ask for it,or should I say beg for it. And this usually results in her bobbing her head up and down like a robot on his member and forgetting every other part of his body. The end result is not a pleasurable experience for either party.ĚýĚýĚýĚý Besides getting 50 of the hottest blow job tipsthat are guaranteed to press every button on your man's body; this series of The Love Den Diaries Volume 2 we will cover issues such some women are experts at the "craft," "superheads" if you will, and some are rank amateurs.Getting a better understanding as to why to women even in this day and age still view giving head to a man as taboo.The chapter for the men "Getting Your Girl To Go Down" - find out what YOU could be doing fellas to discourage your lady from giving you headTips for the beginners as well as some advanced moves for the seasoned veterans that will have his body exploding with pleasure.How to "mentally" and "physically" prepare to do the deed.The "swallowing" double standard.Exploring the possibility of giving a man oral sex that's gratifying for BOTHparties.

Hood Rat (Hood Rat #1) 54726 Hood Rat (n.): A woman of questionable repute, one who has been known to "get around" in the 'hood.

Yoshi is young, fine, and larcenous. She lives her life playing on men's hearts as well as their pockets. She learns the hard way that all that glitters isn't gold. Billy, a former high school basketball star, is at the end of her rope with the opposite sex. To her, all men are dogs, so she secretly seeks comfort in the arms of women, until she meets a man who makes her reevaluate her feelings. Reese is an around-the-way chick, trying to keep up with the Joneses. There's a revolving door on her bedroom as she tries to find the love she always felt was missing. Her promiscuity leaves her pregnant from a one-night stand and Reese is faced with the task of breaking an age-old cycle, passed down from mother to daughter in her family, and standing on her own. Rhonda is twenty-something with three kids, by three men, and riding the system all the way to the bank. To her, work is a dirty word; between the multiple checks she gets from the government, and the games she plays with men, she's living the life of a ghetto superstar. The game soon turns ugly when one of her "sponsors" snaps and decides to get some payback.

Harlem has never seen four friends as scandalous as these. The neighborhood will never be the same again.]]>

<![CDATA[The Hidden Man (Jason Kolarich, #1)]]> 6158114 Another exhilarating thriller from Edgar Award winner David Ellis, introducing the new series protagonist Jason Kolarich. Jason Kolarich is a midwestern Everyman with a lineman's build and an easy smart-ass remark. He's a young, intelligent maverick, but he's also struggling with an overwhelming emotional burden--one that threatens to unravel his own life, and possibly the lives of those around him.

Twenty-seven years ago, two-year-old Audrey Cutler disappeared from her home in the middle of the night. She was never found. All the detectives had to go on were vague eyewitness accounts of a man running down the Cutlers' street, apparently carrying someone. Without enough evidence to suggest otherwise, Griffin Perlini--a neighbor with prior offenses against minors--was arrested, but never convicted.

The case is long closed when Perlini is murdered nearly thirty years later. Now a man named Mr. Smith appears in Jason Kolarich's office, saying only that he represents a third party who wants the man charged with murder off the hook and that Kolarich is perfect for the job. The new client: Audrey Cutler's older brother, Sammy--Kolarich's estranged childhood best friend--a man he hasn't seen in nearly twenty years.

But when Kolarich starts receiving violent threats from Mr. Smith's enigmatic employer, he figures out that the secrecy behind this nameless third party--and the key to winning Sammy's case--is entangled with the mystery of Audrey's disappearance. With his own life and Sammy's in the balance, Kolarich has to put aside not only the mounting anxiety of the job but also a heart-wrenching personal tragedy in order to find out what really happened to Audrey all those years ago.

<![CDATA[The Cabin at the End of the World]]> 36300727
Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake. Their closest neighbors are more than two miles in either direction along a rutted dirt road.

One afternoon, as Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Leonard is the largest man Wen has ever seen but he is young, friendly, and he wins her over almost instantly. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologizes and tells Wen, "None of what’s going to happen is your fault." Three more strangers then arrive at the cabin carrying unidentifiable, menacing objects. As Wen sprints inside to warn her parents, Leonard calls out: "Your dads won’t want to let us in, Wen. But they have to. We need your help to save the world."

Thus begins an unbearably tense, gripping tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse, and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion, one in which the fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are entwined. The Cabin at the End of the World is a masterpiece of terror and suspense from the fantastically fertile imagination of Paul Tremblay.

This was a good book. I had to take it back to the library so I skimmed through the last part of it but the main thing I remember about this book is to think back on something that happened in your life and assign it a color. Once you do that when things happen in your life you will remember the color.

Purge 7029668 Purge is a breathtakingly suspenseful tale of two women dogged by their own shameful pasts and the dark, unspoken history that binds them.

When Aliide Truu, an older woman living alone in the Estonian countryside, finds a disheveled girl huddled in her front yard, she suppresses her misgivings and offers her shelter. Zara is a young sex-trafficking victim on the run from her captors, but a photo she carries with her soon makes it clear that her arrival at Aliide's home is no coincidence. Survivors both, Aliide and Zara engage in a complex arithmetic of suspicion and revelation to distill each other's motives; gradually, their stories emerge, the culmination of a tragic family drama of rivalry, lust, and loss that played out during the worst years of Estonia's Soviet occupation.

Sofi Oksanen establishes herself as one the most important voices of her generation with this intricately woven tale, whose stakes are almost unbearably high from the first page to the last. Purge is a fiercely compelling and damning novel about the corrosive effects of shame, and of life in a time and place where to survive is to be implicated.]]>

Someone Knows 41439562 From the New York Times-bestselling author comes a pulse-pounding domestic thriller about a group of friends who have been bound for twenty years by a single secret—and will now be undone by it. Someone Knows is an emotional exploration of friendship and family, as well as a psychological exploration of guilt and memory.

Twenty years ago, in an upscale suburb of Philadelphia, four teenagers spent a summer as closest friends: drinking, sharing secrets, testing boundaries. When a new boy looked to join them, they decided to pull a prank on him, convincing him to play Russian roulette as an initiation into their group. They secretly planned to leave the gun unloaded—but what happened next would change each of them forever.

Now three of the four reunite for the first time since that horrible summer. The guilt—and the lingering question about who loaded the gun—drove them apart. But after one of the group apparently commits suicide with a gun, their old secrets come roaring back. One of them is going to figure out if the new suicide is what it seems, and if it connects to the events of that long-ago summer. Someone knows exactly what happened—but who? And how far will they go to keep their secrets buried?]]>

It's Simple 11699668 The general consensus is that relationships are easy to start but challenging to maintain. Although we may not think so, our choices ultimately determine the types of relationships we have. It's truly funny how after we've contributed to the chaotic state of the relationship, we hire therapists to fix us, to tell us it's not our fault when it typically is. The truth? Therapists don't fix us; they provide tools that guide us. Ultimately, we find the solutions ourselves and, for the most part, we really need to forget what we've heard. Relationships can be complicated, littered with challenges and that preventable thing called drama. Just ask Tia and Chase.

They met as teenagers. Upon graduation from college, things got complicated. Chase was drafted to the Los Angeles Lakers; Tia was offered a position in the Obama administration. Despite the geographical distance, Tia and Chase stayed together.

But how easy is it to make love last? It's simple-if we can be honest, forgiving, and patient with each other. Here's a unique look at a progressive couple and how their choices impact their journey; providing a truthful and sometimes painful look at real life scenarios and how two fiercely driven and stubborn lovers choose to handle them. Experience life from a different perspective.

Shooting the Moon 7113035 JAMIE THINKS HER FATHER CAN DO ANYTHING....

UNTIL THE ONE TIME HE CAN DO NOTHING.

When twelve-year-old Jamie Dexter's brother joins the Army and is sent to Vietnam, Jamie is plum thrilled. She can't wait to get letters from the front lines describing the excitement of real-life combat: the sound of helicopters, the smell of gunpowder, the exhilaration of being right in the thick of it. After all, they've both dreamed of following in the footsteps of their father, the Colonel.

But TJ's first letter isn't a letter at all. It's a roll of undeveloped film, the first of many. What Jamie sees when she develops TJ's photographs reveals a whole new side of the war. Slowly the shine begins to fade off of Army life - and the Colonel. How can someone she's worshipped her entire life be just as helpless to save her brother as she is?

From the author of the Edgar Award-winning Dovey Coe comes a novel, both timely and timeless, about the sacrifices we make for what we believe and the people we love.]]>
