The forbidden game by L.J. Smith

This a a 3 in 1 book. The hunter, The chase and the kill. Jenny was out doing some walking around when she remembered that she needed to pick up something for her boyfriend Tom's birthday. She also knew that she was being followed by two people. She wasn't quite scared but, she knew she needed to find some where to go and hide for awhile. There was a lot of stores closed where she was. But something seemed strange when she came across this store. At first there wasn't a doorknob but now there was. Once inside she got this feeling that she was being watched.

Then, this guy seemed to appear in front of her. He said his name was Julian. Looking at him, he was more beautiful then anyone she had seen before. He asked if he could help her and she said that she was looking for a game to play with her friends. His eyes lit up and he showed her a game and said she could have it. What she didn't know was that this game was going to be more then just a game. It was going to be a game of life and death.

Tom, Audrey, Dee, Micheal, Summer and Zach all come over to Jenny's house to play a game. They put together the paper house and followed all the directions on the box and the something happened. They were in the paper house, like it was real. Julian showed up and said that they could only win if they made it to the top of the house. Each of them has to deal with a nightmare and make it through it. But Summer didn't. What Jenny didn't know was that Julian wanted her to himself and would do anything to get her. To save her friends she made a deal with him but, she tricked him and they all made it back home safe except for Summer.

Jenny kept making the mistake of offering things to Julian she wasn't going to ever give him. In the long run they all ended up in the shadow world where Julian is from, trying to save Tom and Zach and trying to survive because Julian wanted them all dead. Jenny knew he loved her and she needed to try and find away to make him not bad any more.

For a long book of three it was worth while reading. To much to add about what happens to all of them. So you'll just have to pick up the book and read it. Well, I'm off to start my next book. Remember to read a good book, it might change you or open you up to something different.

The Passage by Justin Cronin

For a first book in this series and by a New author, I'll have to say that this book was good even though it was 879 pages long. I usually cringe when it comes to really long books unless its three books in  one..lol.

Special Agent Brad Wolgast was brought in by the military to help them bring 12 prison guys on death row to them for something he was never told that they were doing. Wolgast wasn't happy when it was brought to his attention that he was to go get a 6 year old girl and bring her back to them. The girls name was Amy and she was sitting with a sister named Lacey. Lacey was trying to keep her safe but what Lacey didn't know was that her life and Amy's were going to be intertwined for many, many years.

When things at the compound goes bad. Wolgast is given the girl by the doctor who created the virus which is what's going to kill millions of people for years to come. So he decides to find a place for them to hide but then a flash happens and he dies. Amy then leaves.

The last colony or so they think is where a good amount of people were brought to when they were kids. It was done to protect them. But if they knew what was coming and whom wasn't coming back. They should be happy tell things started to happen to make the colony have problems. The Peter and a few others go to do somethings outside to find things that were needed. But Peter meets Amy who is about 14 year old. What he doesn't know is that she follows him back to the colony and things start to happen even more.

People start acting funny and its a small group including Amy and Peter all plan to leave and go looking for the truth of what really happened and started the whole thing.

Well, being that this book is so long and I enjoyed reading it a lot. I'm not telling a whole lot more. But, I'll say its worth every page of this book. I'm off to start my next book. Pick up a good book like this one. I bit you'll want to know what happens. Can't wait to read the second and I hope that its as good.

Fragile by Lisa Unger

Another new author to add to my list of books read. This book was quite good. Murder, mystery, kidnapping, rape, all the things a good story should be.
Jones Cooper, cop, father and husband, lives in the hollow's where people are really close. Small town life has never been more different to some then the big city was to him. But Jones was keeping something secret.A girl died and he was there. But there was also two others. The whole thing has made jones have problems in his own life.
Rick is Jones son and has been in love with Charlene a girl that Jones never thought was good enough for his son. Then, one day she ran away from home and everything from there on went to hell. Maggie is Rick's mother and a therpist and has been trying to understand her son as will. Too many things about her son she hasn't really been able to figure out.
Maggie has been seeing Marshall and trying to help him. But that day while he was there, something had changed. Because of Marshall's father Travis, things with him was very strange. He left her office and from then on things with him went down hill. Her wanting to help other out just made her sad.
With Charlene missing and Rick upset. Jones was always busy with police business. She began to worry more and more about Marshall. What she doesn't know is that Marshall is the reason why Charlene is missing. She had gotten ahold of him to ask him to help her.

The farther into the story you find out many things that happen and why Jones is having problems. The truth of everything comes out. Maggie is a big part of the reason that it does. You'll just have to read the book. You'd enjoy it. Its worth it.
Well, I'm off to start my next book. Pick up a good book and enjoy it. This one I'd say is a good book.
