Book Review   Unfortunately, this book was difficult for me to really get into.  I think one of the main reasons that I had problems with it was that m

Bears With Us

Book Description Tempe Crabtree is the resident deputy of Bear Creek, a small mountain community in the southern Sierra. Her continuing interest in the spiritual side of her heritage often causes unrest in her marriage to her minister husband. In Bears With Us, Tempe has her hands full when bears turn up in and around her town, becoming a threat to kids and adults when an elderly woman is horrifically killed. But are bears really responsible, or is there something else afoot? Book Review This is the first book that I have read in this series, even though it is number 11.  I can definitely say that I am going to look for the others in the series. Marilyn Meredith has written characters that are likable and strong.  You actually feel like you are there in Bear Creek right along with them.  I also loved that she had all these great subplots weaving in and out of the book.  There were plenty of twists and turns to keep my interest. My favorite character is Tempe.  I love th

Book Description   SOPHIE BARRETT THINKS SHE’S LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. SHE MAY BE DEAD WRONG. On a sweltering summer afternoon, Sophie Barrett walks into a nightmare. A sniper has opened fire on a college campus. When the carnage is over, three people—plus the shooter—are dead and dozens more are injured. Sophie escapes virtually unscathed. Yet as details emerge from the investigation, she becomes convinced that this wasn’t the random, senseless act it appeared to be. No one wants to believe her—not the cops, not her colleagues at the Delphi Center crime lab, and definitely not Jonah Macon, the homicide detective who’s already saved her life once. Jonah has all kinds of reasons for hoping Sophie is mistaken. Involving himself with a key witness could derail an already messy investigation, not to mention jeopardize his career. But Sophie is as determined and fearless as she is sexy. If he can’t resist her, he can at least swear to protect her. Because if Sophie is right, she’s mad

Fatal Storm

Book Description   The Indiana Paranormal Investigators are spending a night in a gothic mansion on the outskirts of Cedar Point, Indiana. Four people are participating...only three remain in the morning. There have been other disappearances and homicides in the past related to the mansion. And the one common denominator has been the weather. FATAL STORM finds Dagger and his entourage spending a night at the mansion to seek answers. But they get more than they bargain for as another storm builds on the horizon. This is the fifth book in the Chase Dagger series which combines mystery with elements of fantasy, sci-fi, and horror. Book Review   Even though this is the fifth book in the series, I did not feel lost at all.  I like when an author is capable of writing a series where each book can be read by itself and still stand on its own merits. Lee Driver has created a wonderful mystery that sucked me into the drama from the beginning.  There are great characters, tons of t
