They're Coming to Take You Away . . .

Truthfully, I don't get to read as often as I would like -- and when I do, it usually takes me weeks to get through a book.  I read Jennifer McMahon's Don't Breathe a Word in 2 days because I honestly could not put it down.  Fifteen years ago, Lisa was a dreamy twelve year-old who went missing in the woods behind her house after claiming that she was going to live with the fairies.  Now she's back, and it's up to her brother and his girlfriend to figure out what exactly happened to her -- even if that means delving into some deep, dark family secrets.  HM

Night Road

Night Road is one of those books where when you aren't reading it you're still thinking about it, or at least thinking about the characters. Lexi, a foster girl moves to a small town to live with an aunt she didn't know existed. She becomes best friends with Mia and soon falls in love with Mia's twin Zach. Jude, the twins mother is the perfect mom and welcomes Lexi into the fold. Soon their lives are intertwined and they are inseparable. Tragedy strikes and in the blink of an eye their lives are shattered. This book is profoundly moving and will be a book to read with a box of kleenex. A great read! SG
