Great story of intrigue, manipulation, blackmail, and other awesome spy stuff! I really like this book - lots of shooting, but nothing graphic. Adult book, but mostly for actual explicit language and storyline rather than other "grown-up" details.

The Servants' Quarters
by Lynn Freed
One word: boring. I kept waiting, each chapter, for the story to peak and climax; then it was over. Not really an interesting topic - British family in So Africa (?) in early 20th century (?). It wasn't very clear. I don't recommend it...it was just drab.

Tainted
by Brooke Morgan
This is a book nominated for a reader's choice at the SLCo Library. So I figured it would be worth reading. Holy Smokies! It was intense. I just kept waiting and waiting for the proverbial bogeyman to jump out from the next page. I thought it was great! It's a great story - twists, turns - that keeps you moving. Lots of F-words :( but other than that it was awesome! I can see why it was nominated.

Saving CeeCee Honeycutt
by Beth Hoffman
What an inspring tale of a young girl. She endures a mother who is manic-depressive, a father who is absent most of the time, and ridicule from the people in her town. She moves to Savannah with a family member and discovers what life is all about. I loved it! I laughed, I cried, and I related. ****

Levianthan
by Scot Westerfeld.
Tried...Faild. I liked the Uglies series, but just could NOT get into this other book. I've heard great reviews...I'll have to try again later.
Bloody Jack
by L. A. Meyer This pirate tale begins in cheapside, London, 1700's. Orphans run around the streets, scavenging and scraping to survive. When opportunity arises, one particular orphan becomes "Jack". This is the story of Jack and sailing the seas looking for pirates. It is full of adventure, excitement, and mystery. Great for children age 12 + or their parents! ***
