White Lies by Zoe Markham

I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.


All I can say is WOW - I started this book - a little less than 24 hours ago - and granted I don't read very fast - this was one that I could not put down.


The story is told in the first person - Abby a 15 year old girl who is starting overnight boarding school.  Both of her parents are serving in the English military overseas - in a Middle Eastern country.


We know she has a sister Beth, and a male friend Jase - a picture she treasures and we read her texts to and from Beth.   At first things are going well - she is in with the in crowd - until Scarlet decides to do her in - and Scar is going through her own issues.  Basically makes Abby's life a living hell.


Then she meets, Archie, in a graveyard of all places.  The last half of the book is like what - and no -


It totally will blow your mind away.  I think this is one of my favorite books I've read so far.  I don't know if there will be a sequel - can there even be one - but if so I would love to read it.


Thank you so much Readingdeals - Mrs. Markham and Harper Collins!

Clockwiser - by Elle Strauss

http://www.amazon.com/Clockwiser-Book-2-Clockwise/dp/1475206690/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457962321&sr=8-1&keywords=clockwiser


Finished book 2 on Saturday at the park while Wesley played in the sand book - he lost four of his little toys - Woody, and Buzz Jessie and Barbie but we went back on Sunday and they were found and given back to him - note sand boxes seem to absorb whatever is put in it.


Now to the book- this is the second in a series - we find our main character - Casey in a routine with her now boyfriend Nate - and not time jumping as much - until she gets a "cute" next door neighbor and has problems with her brother Tim.


Unfortunately Tim goes back in time with her - and this book is about saving him - one of the clan from the 1860's actually comes back with her - because Tim wanted to be in the Civil War and there are pictures of him from the 1860's in our time.   We all wanted Willie to stay here - but if he didn't go back then ironically, the cop who saved Tim at a bank heist - wouldn't have been there to save him.


I so love twists and turns and this book definitely gave both!  Four thumbs up - and I can't wait to read the next one!

The Binding by Nicholas Wolff

Well all I can really say is wow - I am not allowed to say to much - since it is not out to June.


The action happens in a small town in the North East - reminiscent in my mind to many Stephen King books - and it definitely is spooky like King. 


The book kept me at the edge of my seat - murders, voodoo, revenge after a century - who done it - or who is possessed - and that will keep you going right up UNTIL the last page.


I highly recommend this book!  Thank you so much for allowing me to review it - www.netgalley.com.

The Last Gatekeeper by Katy Haye -

"I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review and I have to say I love it - I hope that this isn't just one book that they continue to build on the story line.  We are introduced to the Last Fane Gatekeeper Zanzibar but she of course doesn't know that is what she is.  Her mother is a Fane and her father a human - Zanzibar is tasked with closing the last three portals on Fane to save earth from the evil "fairies" - who also happens to be her aunt - and a horrible "being".  The book was immersive and had me from the first page - in the end Zan is the queen of the fane and is looking to make a portal to get to her "boyfriend" that is on another planet and is also the father of her unborn child.


Thank you so much for allowing me to read the book!

A Murder in Time by Julie McElwain

http://www.amazon.com/Murder-Time-Novel-Julie-McElwain/dp/1605989746/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1456856299&sr=8-1&keywords=a+murder+in+time




I have to admit it took me a country minute to get into the book - but only because of the evil and satanic nature of the main bad guy - I am not normally turned off to books about death - but zombies aren't evil - they just want to eat.  The main bad guy though is EVIL through and through.


After I got through that it was smooth sailing.  Kendra Donovan is a super genius child - her parents were both scientists that were for eugenics.  Kendra at the age of 14 declared her independence - when she told her parents she no longer wanted to be a "subject" they pretty much wrote her off as dead.


Kendra is also a FBI agent - and her partners were murdered in a bust gone bad.  Then Kendra wants to exact revenge.  At that point - all I can say is that Kendra maybe went to the place where she was always supposed to be.


There is a serial killer in this book, death, land of lords and ladies, time travel, you name it - it has it.


I especially loved the ending - I think the one thing that would have given me tingles is if they looked and saw a portrait on the wall.


Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to review this book, thank you Julie McElwain for writing it, and Pegasus Books, LLC.
