The Alienist by Caleb Carr

     There are a bunch of murders going on in 19th century New York.  Theodore Roosevelt puts together a team to help track down the killer.  This is a time when forensics and forensic psychology were in there infancy.  As they track down the killer they learn how to delve deep into a psychopaths minds.
    I found this a very good read.  It was a real page turner and keeps the reader wanting to read more.  I have read this book a couple times and have loved it every time.

Shattered Perfection by Heather Guimond Review

     Mimi meets a guy named Vance on a flight to New York to meet a friend.  It was love at first sight and they get married shortly after.  A year after they are married Mimi notices a change in Vance and cannot figure out why.  It turns out that Vance is concealing a secret that will change their lives for ever.  Mimi doesn't know if she can handle it.
     This was written really well.  I was happy for Mimi and then angry at Vance for being the way he was to her and then crying at the end.  i love how the two main characters developed their relationship and even though it got hard and nasty they stayed together.  I look forward to other works by this author.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling book review

     This is the last book of the Harry Potter series.  This takes place during Lord Voldemort's uprising.  Harry and his friends must find the objects known as Horcruxes in order to stop Lord Voldemort.  Harry must also make a very hard decision in order to protect everyone.  Also friends that didn't want to fight must make very difficult decisions on hiding or fighting.
     I really liked how this story came together.  I loved how the main characters and some of the other characters evolved in this book.  I love how the story flowed and kept wanting to continue reading till the very end.  I highly recommend this book and series to anyone.
