I Hunt Killers...

Wow! This book was really, really good! I bet the guys in my library will eat this one up! I cannot wait until book two is released. I will be counting down until April. This book was so good in so many ways. I'll be waiting for one of my frequent library flyers to read this book so I can discuss it with him/her.

What if the world's worst serial killer...was your dad?

Jasper "Jazz" Dent is a likable teenager. A charmer, one might say.

But he's also the son of the world's most infamous serial killer, and for Dear Old Dad, Take Your Son to Work Day was year-round. Jazz has witnessed crime scenes the way cops wish they could—from the criminal's point of view.

And now bodies are piling up in Lobo's Nod.

In an effort to clear his name, Jazz joins the police in a hunt for a new serial killer. But Jazz has a secret—could he be more like his father than anyone knows?

Confessions of a Murder Suspect...

This is the first James Patterson book I've ever read. In the past, Patterson's books never had trouble moving off of the shelf. With this book being the first in a new series for Patterson, I thought I would pick it up and see what the hype was all about. I was disappointed in this book to say the least. I'm sure some of my students that like his other books will enjoy this one, but it just didn't do it for me. At least now I can say I've read a James Patterson book. Book #2 in the series will be released in October.

James Patterson returns to the genre that made him famous with a thrilling teen detective series about the mysterious and magnificently wealthy Angel family . . . and the dark secrets they're keeping from one another.

On the night Malcolm and Maud Angel are murdered, Tandy Angel knows just three things: 1) She was the last person to see her parents alive. 2) The police have no suspects besides Tandy and her three siblings. 3) She can't trust anyone—maybe not even herself. Having grown up under Malcolm and Maud's intense perfectionist demands, no child comes away undamaged. Tandy decides that she will have to clear the family name, but digging deeper into her powerful parents' affairs is a dangerous-and revealing-game. Who knows what the Angels are truly capable of?

Pulled...

After looking at the ratings for this book, I was pleasantly surprised. This was a good read that I enjoyed. One of my big library readers recently returned this book and said she really, really enjoyed it! I guess that goes to show you can't always go by what the ratings indicate.

Deadly Little Lessons...

This book was FABULOUS! Love this series! Sad that Deadly Little Lessons is the final book in the series. I'm hoping Laurie Stolarz will write a new series that is equally as good as the Touch series was. In my opinion, this was the best book of the series. If you like this series, you should try the Body Finder series by Kimberly Derting.

Prodigy...so disappointed!

So disappointed in this book! I loved, loved, loved Legend. I guess I expected way too much after the AWESOMENESS that was Legend. This book was more like a chore to read. The best part of the book was the last 50 pages. I skimmed so much of this book. I'm sure my students will enjoy this one because Legend is so incredibly popular in our library.

The Husband List...

Janet Evanovich and Dorien Kelly's newest novel. This one is different than anything else I've read by Evanovich. The main character, Caroline, reminds me what I think I would have been like during that time period. I would have acted just like she did and be the rebellious type. I liked the character that was created in Jack. Although this one is not roll-out-of-bed-laughing-my-butt-off funny like the Stephanie Plum novels, it was a light, easy read. I imagine some of my girls that like historical type novels will like this one.

From goodreads.com:
