Lydia - It was really good. I had read a couple of negative reviews before I picked it up and so wasn't sure what to expect--I ended up loving it. Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteEnjoyed your list, Wendy. I've not read any of them, but I do have THE MAID and THE SECRET SOCIETY...on my Kindle to read at some point. Have heard a little mixed stuff about THE MAID, which has made me more curious.
ReplyDeleteKay - I hope you enjoy both of those when you read them! Thank you for visiting!
DeleteKim Harrison is an old, old favorite, so glad to see her on this list. And I really want to get my hands on Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes, looks like a great scifi thriller.

ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Nicole - I hope to read the sequel this year--and soon. The first Amari was so good! I really think my daughter would like it, but she's reluctant to read it. I think because I read it first. Thank you for visiting!
