I read this for a book club (notably an all female book club) and thought it was a really interesting conversation starter. I wouldn't recommend this book to a guy necessarily--it focuses so much on a woman's fears or marrying and having kids and think some of that might get lost on a male audience. No offense of course. I also made my mom read it right after the book club and she is completely wrapped up in it now...

Ten years ago Lilly Carmichael had left Hudson Bay and had broken Braden Donnelly's heart but had now come back home as her aunt had died. Braden was now the town sheriff and had been tracking down a serial killer and it now becomes obvious that both he and Lilly are the connection to the murders and is determined to protect her from this psychotic killer. Lilly was an NSA Analyst and field agent who had been captured and tortured a year ago and was suffering with PTSD. Thrown back together to try and find the serial killer re-ignited the spark between them but Braden still didn't know why she had to leave town all those years ago and Lilly still doesn't really want to tell him as there was no point dredging up the past. This was a fast paced with a good balance of romance and suspense and kept us gripped until the end. I don't want to give too much away but I did however guess who must have been the serial killer but just couldn't work out how the author would lay out the finer details. I know that this sounds a little confusing but will become apparent and make sense to the reader as the plot unfolds. I liked both Lilly and Braden although I was a bit cross at Lilly for not telling Braden why she felt she had to leave town. It was a bit unfair to just leave him wondering why and to break his heart but then they were young (18) so understandable. This is the first Katie Reus book I have read and it won't be the last!

2.5/5 The book focuses on four friends, who to protect one another from being arrested they are forced to LIE (hence the name of the book) but after an attack on two Hispanic brother's goes from bad to worse, the truth begins to eat them up. Within the first few pages I was bored and overly confused. But I carried it on, slowly it was becoming interesting, but took a dramatic U-turn and was back to where it started. The only thing motivating me to finish the book was it was a review Galley and I really wanted to prove myself as a reviewer. The book focuses mainly on loyatly, friendship and racism, but I expected friendship and loyalty to take the bigger role, which apparently it does not. I have only ever read one series about racism before, and found this book quite hard to read due to the racial element's in it. I'm not saying they are handled wrong, because they have not. I am just someone who has never been around such racial attacks, and I possibly believe that it could be toned down a bit more. Within the book we witness numerous amount's of POV's from many different character's (I counted 10 in total). For me this was good and bad. Firstly it caused a large amount of confusion for me and throughout the book the amount of focus of such a large amount of character's slowly began to prove hard to keep track of when I came across them later on. But as the book progressed I realised that for the storyline of the book, a large amount of POV's was just right, but maybe not this many. It allowed you to see such a horrible event, through not just one or two eyes, but everyone who seemed to be involved and effected. Also it allowed much more background information on the character's to be shown. Caroline's writing style was not so good. I felt almost like I was being told instead of shown, which is slightly understandable seeing as a large proportion of the book was based on the past events which had taken place, but even the present parts it seemed to lack allot. The book was quite hard to read, and on some occasions highly un-believable. Jimmy, and a number of other character's are very much Racist's, they have strong views that no one from other countries should be allowed in America full stop, and Jimmy's view managed to influence, his small group of main friends: Skylar, Sean and Lisa-Marie, to the point that they begin to think what he says is true. Jimmy is also the school's sport star and it is slightly portrayed in the book that despite everyone in the school knew what really happened, they refused to grass him up because of his position. This for me seemed unbelievable and I just couldn't get to grips with it. I will only talk about one character, which is Skylar. I felt almost like Skylar was the only character I properly saw enough to talk about and I would say the main character of the book. Skylar is the girlfriend of Jimmy, who has been charged of attacking two Hispanic brother's and is still in prison. Skylar seems very reliatent on her boyfriend and is constantly saying how Jimmy would always have a plan, and Jimmy said this. Also she yearns to much for him, and seems to care much more about the fact that he is in prison then anything else, at that moment of time (which I guess is believable). She on the other hand is quite a third-dimensional character, depending on the way you think and see things you may say that her personality and reliance of Jimmy is due to her past, which is discovered in the book.

** spoiler alert ** I Am the Messanger Markus Zusak 357 Pages May 9th, 2006. Knopf books for young readers Written by the best selling author of The book Thief , I am the Messanger delivers nothing short of "brilliance". The story starts off with Ed Kennedy, a hopeless attempt in life, an underaged cab-driver with not much of a future. He lives with his companion the Doorman (a dog), and plays cards twice a week on his porch with his group of friends (Ritchie, Mark, and Audery). That was basically his life in short. All this changed however, once he stopped a bank robbery in the middle of a dead-parking zone. His 15 minutes of fame was the beginning of a long journey that stretched the entire width of the book. What I'm talking about is Ed recieving the ace of spades. The ace of spades had 3 addresses on it. Each address contained a hidden message. Ed was the messager and the message (though he didn't know it at the time). Ed was the one who entered many danger zones, just because of a simple card. Ed was the one who red bedtime stories to an old woman, stopped a man from sexually abusing his daughter, and sending an empty shoebox to a trackrunner. He made all 3 of those girls (ages ranging from about 6 to... 60) lives better. The messages didn't stop there. One ace after the other, each one confusing than the other, is what Ed Kennedy finds himself in. The writers writes in first person point of view. Reading Ed Kennedy's persepective made me feel a lot better about myself. You'll find yourself laughing and rolling your eyes at this hopeless character. I highly reccomend this book to anyone who is in search of a good book. it's hard to get into it for the first 10 or so pages, because they're sort of dry and hard to understand. Things begin to make much more sense as you read along. Pick up a copy from Nourok. That's how I got mine.

Reread of this book. While I was still impressed by the interpersonal relationships between the characters (the reason I wanted to revisit it), I was more struck by the way Tartt uses an narrator who rarely incites any action. He is much more an observer than an actor or even a participant. Masterful work here.

Great characters -

This is James Patterson, as James Patterson is... so if you like him, you'd like this. I have to say that this is NOT Maximum Ride, but if you think that this plot is a bit more serious than the other... you'd understand why the book is a bit more serious than the others. I liked it. I liked the characters (even though they remain undeveloped) and I would like read the next as soon as I'm in the mood.

Not as good as the first books. I think she ran out of steam on this book, because it seemed a bit repetitious and also seemed like it could do with a bit more editing. Actually, I never finished this book - it's still on my to-read pile. I do intend to finish it some day, I think she's writing another one.
