The Scarlet Pen by Jennifer Uhlarik

This is the final book in the True Colors Series.  These books are fictionalized books that tell the stories of true crimes.  They attempt to provide hope in the midst of somewhat dark stories.

This particular true crime story centers around a man named Stephen who leaves a wake of loss wherever he goes.  The man that is searching for him is Clay and his girlfriend is Emma.  I particularly enjoyed the way that Emma's family cares for her and tries to protect her from this man.  I also enjoyed Clay and even while searching for Stephen he maintains respect for his person.  

The author does a good job of not making the story too gruesome and weaves hope throughout.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review

The Summer of Songbirds by Kristy Woodson Harvey

  This book makes me want to send my daughter to summer camp :). I loved the stories of the songbirds and the strength of their friendships through the highs and lows of life. I enjoyed how the friends had each other do their hard things too. My favorite characters were Finn, Paola, June, Huff and Steven. Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own

No Romancing the Passengers by Lee Wimmer

 I enjoyed the mystery and suspense in this book.  I also enjoyed the idea behind the cruise and how the passengers all enjoyed each other.   The stuff about dream walking was different for me and gave me something to think about.  There is another book after this one so everything is not tied up neatly at the end.  I enjoyed the characters Miguel, Mike and Willie. Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own.
