I was expecting more from NR… Cilla McGowan, former child star, has grown up a woman who knows what she wants. And when she figures out how to get it, there’s no stopping her. Finally, her grandmother’s house, legendary actress Janet Hardy, is hers, and she wants to restore the old farmhouse that her mother has let fall apart. She dreams of becoming a contractor, ‘flipping’ houses for profit. And she’s well on her way. And yet, at night, she has dreams - conversations with her long dead grandmother. And while cleaning out the attic, she finds letters written to her grandmother, left unsigned. Could it be real? Was Janet really pregnant before her death thirty years ago? And if so, why wasn’t that included in the autopsy? Cilla’s determined to figure it out. Ford Sawyer, graphic novelist and neighbor across the road, has been forbidden to hold a power tool, LOL! Family and friends know that he couldn’t fix anything if his life depended on it. And that’s fine with him. He’d rather draw. When the two finally meet, Cilla likes Ford, but doesn’t want anything to do with him. His charm seems to have power over her, but seeing her the dozen marriages between her mother and grandmother, she refuses to follow into their shoes. And yet, Ford’s subtle pushing hooks her in, and she falls for him. And to Ford, Cilla’s in an amazing woman. Meanwhile, someone doesn’t want Cilla in town, fixing up the farmhouse. A violent assault on Cilla’s ex-husband/best friend, destruction of property, all attempts to make Cilla leave. But Cilla isn’t having it. The question is, can Cilla and Ford figure out who could hate her so much before the destruction turns to murder? **I was expecting more. I really liked Cilla’s determination, and going for what she really wants. The relationship between her and her mother soured my stomach; my mother and I have a best-friend relationship, and I couldn’t imagine going through what Cilla constantly goes through with her mother. I can understand her reluctance toward Ford, but I loved watching the sizzle between them. LOL, the banter couldn’t have been more perfect. I liked how Ford viewed Cilla, and how he fell for her hard. It’s nice to see the guy admit it first for a change. I felt really bad for Cilla’s ex-husband, Steve, who ended up nearly killed. And everything was the same old, tired, run-of-the-mill, suspense stuff. The property destruction could have been amped up; frankly, I thought it wasn’t enough. And the dreaming of conversations with her dead grandmother? Overdone and I could have done without some of it. I was surprised by Cilla’s would-be murderer - yes an no. I was close. And again, that was predictable. The suspense could have been amped up as well. And the only reason I’m giving this one 4 stars is because of Cilla and Ford. I really liked the two of them together.

I had heard, that the ending was really surprising and made the book more fun. Couldn't agree less. I thought the ending was really disappointing and weird. I also didn't like much that in the story there are other stories, which are integrated (the main character reads them) but that for a long time have no real connection to the main plot and that are way too long for my taste. All in all it was an ok book, but nothing I would recommend

I didn't realize when I picked this book that it was several stories, side jobs, as it was that Harry Dresden did. The author states where they fall between stories before each one. I enjoyed the Dresden Files that I have read, and this is just as good. I liked the last one, Aftermath, the best. It is written from Murphy's POV and Harry is "missing". If you like Harry Dresden then you will enjoy this.

This was the second book in the Dead End Dating series. It was another light read with a little mystery, a little more romance, and a lot of humor. I don't think I liked it quite as much as the first one, but I still enjoyed it.

This Book was like you just ate a box of cookies until the end, and then you're already satisfied by the end. You know why? Well... lets say that there's THREE angels who came to earth to save people and there's a "BAD GUY" trying to destroy cities, towns, or maybe the whole world! Bethany an innocent angel came into earth with her brother and her sister Gabriel, and Ivy to save a town called Venus Cove a town that had some accidents and deaths. But here's a hint for you all readers that are curious to read this book... she meets someone but then there's another person that's new in town that no one knows but he's new to Beth's High School; and freak accidents happens quickly that there would be a surprise to you all of who's the victim which is charged to all deaths of the people.

The book is divided into four main sections. The first two sections are a justification of the last two. They show how their brand of orthopraxis is rooted in the Bible. For those interested in interesting ways to live the Christian life (which aren't so prevalent in today's culture) and aren't too interested in biblical study, then the last two sections would be sufficient. The first section takes the reader through the history of Israel in the Old Testament. The point is stressed that God NEVER wanted Israel to have a king, and he has never sanctioned any formal government. God would rather that his people just trust him to be their leader and not worry about governments so much. The second section deals with Jesus' entrance into the world. Although he never had political power, he set up his own kingdom that rivals the Roman Empire and all other systems of political power. Many of the events in Jesus' career had symbolic significance to show that Jesus' kingdom was set against the world's kingdom (manifested in the Roman Empire and other hubs of political power that have arisen since). The third section discusses what the early church was like before and after it became the state religion. Christianity became watered down and almost meaningless when it was condoned by the state, and people forgot that they pledge allegiance to God and not to the Empire; the Empire may pretend to serve God's purposes, but in actually it opposes them in almost every aspect. The parallel is stressed that this is the exact happenings in modern-day America. Christianity does not need patriotism. The last section deals with several small pieces of what Christianity can look like today when our first allegiance is to God over nation. It covers whether Christians need to/should vote, should serve in the military, pay taxes, buy things, forgive, be subversive to the government, participate in the economy, and other practical matters. When it comes down to it, the issues the Church involves itself with are very political, but it needs to show creativity to find workable solutions instead of getting the government involved. I find it hard to disagree with many points in the book. The case from the Bible is quite solid, and the system as a whole holds water. The part I have trouble with is actually converting my life to be submissive in all these ways. It is hard to make choices that make you less comfortable.
