This novel was my first Diana Palmer book and I was eager to read it in the beginning. I've been hearing her name for a while but the reviews for her novels were always mixed. So, basically, the story was about Joceline Perry who was a single mom--her story was that she and a man got really drunk one night and the result was her son. The man was in the military and he was shipped to the Middle East but he never came back. Joceline worked for FBI agent Jon Blackhawk as his administrative assistant and there was this long running joke in the book about Joceline's refusal to make coffee in the book. Jon was being threatened by a criminal who was connected to a powerful crime family and Joceline became a target too because she helped Jon investigate the case and put him or one of his relatives in jail--it's been a few days since I read the book and I was already initially a little confused about the whole case thing. It had something to do with Jon's brother, Kilraven and the murder of his wife and daughter. I felt there wasn't chemistry between Joceline and Jon and I didn't feel the love between the two of them in the end. Jon wasn't also a hero--he didn't do anything or take any action as romance heroes are wont to do. Many of the characters and their dialogue (like the weird World of Warcraft talk in the first couple of chapters) didn't feel authentic to me and it felt cartoonish at times, especially Jon's mother Cammy. She was annoying trying to foist girls for Jon to marry and was total bitch to Joceline in the beginning. But Jon and Kilraven insisted she was good deep down and it's only because of what happened to her when she was younger that she was like that. It was revealed towards the end what had happened to Cammy but you would think that she would be more understanding towards Joceline because of what she went through. Then, she did a complete 360 like that **snap** and then what happened to her next with trying to catch the villain was so convoluted and silly. I could also go on about how the fact that Jon and Joceline were both supposedly being very religious people and the actions and decisions they made in the book was due to that reason but I won't. Suffice to say, it was all nonsensical. I would liken this novel to a Harlequin Presents book--somewhat ridiculous but it kept my attention the whole time so I can't outright discount it. Merciless was an okay read for me--I didn't like it but I didn't completely hate it either. It did have a couple of good parts like Joceline's adorable son Markie and [I wasn't sure before but] I ended up liking Joceline. I am glad I read this novel because now I can cross off Diana Palmer on my authors-to-read list. If you're looking for a western romance (like the cover implied) this is not it. If you're a Diana Palmer fan, it seems a few characters from her previous books make an appearance here so you may want to check out Merciless. **Reviewed by Michelle for Michelle & Leslie's Book Picks book blog.**

Odd book. Ann Rule was commissioned to write a book about the killings in Washington. Months later the likeliest suspect turned out to be her friend Ted Bundy. She follows the story through until his electrocution 15 years later. Ted Bundy has touched my life in some tenuous ways. My friend from high school was in the Chi Omega house where he killed two women. She is mentioned in the book. Another woman I worked with in South Carolina had lived next door to the person from whom Ted stole his escape car. Ted Bundy was in prison ~ 60 miles from where we were working in the Swamp. And now I know he grew up in Tacoma & was probably already killing women when I was an infant there.

Poniatowska retraces, reimagines Italian photographer Tina Modotti's life. In doing so, Poniatowska also paints the political turmoil of 20s, 30s Mexico, the communist struggle in Spain and mainly how those who fought for the Republic became disillusioned with the movement's waivering and waning ideals. However, the prose --though brilliant at times-- seems to fall trap of a writer's self-indulgence.

I'd like to start by saying that if I could, I would give this book 3.5 stars. I very much enjoyed this author's last book, Driftwood Summer, and was eagerly anticipating the release of her latest novel. This story is set in the South, which I always enjoy. It's the contrast between the expectations of the society-set, and following your true desires. I enjoyed the journey that Ellie took and I found the emotions to be realistic and inspiring. Usually in stories with a flashback story, I find that I prefer the historical story to the present, but in this story, it was quite the opposite. I was more interested in finding out how Ellie would proceed with her life, than in finding out who her mother's mystery love was...though I did have my suspicions early on. But there was just something missing, that kept this from being a four or five star book. The takeaway is that this is Ellie's story and that the other characters are going to be brief and almost two-dimensional...but maybe that's the way it is supposed to be. The story is the brief glimpse into someone's life as it is happening, and just as quickly, that glimpse is over.

This is a great book for anyone who is feeling down about themselves, whether or not it is clinical depression. Everyone at some point has used the same distortions Burns talks about, and thus could benefit from his suggestions about how to perceive the world differently.

This book may be a little gloomy and pessimistic for some, but I think it sheds light on how some people, particularly those who are depressed, perceive the world. Also, I think it sheds light on the adolescent mind very well.

The story was fascinating, well thought out, and full of action and intrigue. I literally could not put it down from start to finish.
