She's asked one day to come speak to someone at the school about a paper she wrote. Professor Wilkins says that she's getting a semester at Dracadia University and that it's all paid for. She had been trying to get into that school and this is surprising. Maybe she can learn as much as she can about this disease her mother had now.

He tries to keep his head and then, later on he starts to think about her more and more. When she does a crazy thing he takes her phone. 

Lilia midnight class is mostly taught my his TA. She tries to talk to the Professor at the end of the class and because she has so many questions he just blows her off. What she doesn't know is the same thing her mother had, He had given to a guy he brought back to test and see what happens. 

The truth of the matter is, a few people don't want her there. The back story of Professor Bramwell isn't a good one and there is some things she ends up finding out the farther into the semester she goes. Hooking up with Bramwell might just cause some really bad things to happen to her. She needs to find the truth about what it was that made her mom so sick. 

I will give a warning, this book is not for people under 18 years of age. Read the trigger warnings in the book if you are wanting to read this, over all this was a really great story. Yes, there is sex in this. That's all I'm going to say. 

Pick the book up, it's a great story.

In this book you meet two women, on young and one older. Taylor works as a nurse in a hospital her aunt has helped her get when she moves to Boston.

A traitor to memory by Elizabeth George

 

This is part of a series DI Thomas Lynley and DC Barbara Havers series. Very good series and I've only read this book. 

Katie was walking to her car when out of know where a car came and hit her. It didn't stick around and she was left there all alone. 

Then, there's Gideon, he's writing in a journal to his doctor about things that has happened in his life. He doesn't understand why he can't play his violin any more. every time he picks it up he tries and he just can't. He was really good for a long time then something happened. Now, he's writing to figure it out with his doctor. 

His dad Robert, doesn't understand why he's having this problem and things between them just aren't the same. His dad has lived through Gideon since he was 6 years old. Making the money to pay for lessons and taking him all over the place to do concerts. They were making money and showing off his talent. Other then, that, nothing else seemed to be going on.

A few days later, Gideon finds out from his father that his mother was murdered by a hit and run driver and the coppers are looking and talking to everyone that knew her. Robert isn't an easy person to talk too. It always seems he cares to much for his son then the girlfriend he's now having a baby with. 

They start looking at the past of the Davis family and what happened to the two year old girl that drowned in the bath tub. The nanny went to prison for 20 years for it. What the father did and the mother and the son, pretty much everyone in the whole house was looked at. 

When, Gideon starts to remember things that happened back then, he decides to talk to his father. His father likes to change the subject and it takes a lot of hammering at him to get him to answer. 

I'll say this, the book kept me wanting to know what and who was killing people using a car. When I did find out, I was quite surprised of the whole reason why. Secrets are a bad thing in a family and with Gideon doing all the writing and trying to find answers for himself, you get the answers you never thought was going to be the answer. 

This is one of those books that you'll have to pick up and read. It was surprising and did answer some of my questions but, not all. There are plenty of other characters in the book that fill in some things too. It was worth reading.

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

 

This is the first book in the Robert Langdon series. I'll say, this was very, very good. Short chapters and fast paced. 

Robert Langdon was getting ready to get up and the phone rang. He answered and the person on the other side told him a story and then, Robert hung up the phone. Thinking that it was a crank call from some of his students. He went about making coffee, when the phone rang again. He heard what the person said. As soon as the word, Illuminati was said, he quickly picked up the phone. He listened to everything that this person was saying and then, asked if he would come and take a look for himself. 

He got to the airport, noticed the plane and was worried. It was only going to take about a hour to get there. When he got off the plane, the pilot said,' welcome to Switzerland." What the hell, Robert thought. Why the hell was he here. 

Kohler, the head of Cern was waiting for him at the door. Robert is a professor of symbology and he's studies many different kinds of symbols and this one he thinks, has to be a joke. The Illuminati hasn't been around for a very long time. When Kohler takes him to a very cold room and lying on the floor is a dead person with the word, Illuminati burned into his chest. He almost gets sick. He's never seen anything like this before. He tried to explain to Kohler about the symbolism of this and what it could mean. But, Kohler just keeps cutting him off. 

The dead guys daughter, Vittoria shows up from a flight she takes back home. She wants to know what happened. When she asks to see her father, she's told it wouldn't be a good idea. When the phone rings on Kohler's device and he answers it. The things said, scares him so he hits the speaker button. All three listen, finding out that four Cardinals will be murdered and branded with air, wind, fire and water in very special places all over Rome. Robert and Vittoria are headed to Rome to stop the from happening. There is more but, think you should pick up the book if you haven't read it yet. OMG, its' really good and the ending will surprise you.

Trey, her older brother keeps asking her if she's alright because she's acting weird. Going to school is getting hard because every where she is, she sees Sawyer. She's been in love with him since they were kids and because of the problem with their two families she can't been seen with him. 

In the visions she keeps seeing. there are nine body bags and in one of them is Sawyer. She needs to find some way to save him. So one day, she finds a way to talk to him and warn him about the crash. He doesn't seem to believe her. In a way, she thinks that he thinks she's crazy and acts like its nothing. He also tells her that they shouldn't be seen together. 

When the visions get so bad, she fakes it like she's really sick. She starts taking notes on everything she's seeing. She's wanting so badly to be able to save Sawyer. She even, tells him that she loves him. Which doesn't seem to mean anything to him. 

Well, I hate to make this so short, but because of how this book is. I don't want to give the ending away. You'll have to read the book to find out what happens. It wasn't a bad book. Maybe, slightly slow tell you get farther into it.

Deadline by Sandra Brown

This book was very good. It was about lies that you tell yourself and sometimes even get away with. Its about murder and getting revenge. This author is one of my favorites to read.

Dawson Scott is a reporter for a magazine. He spent time over seas in the war zone. He came back home with some scares of his own. Gary Headly is an FBI agent and had been after Carl Wingert for the last 40 years. He told Dawson about all that and asked if he'd been willing to take a trip for a trial that was going on. What Dawson didn't expect was what was going to happen when He first see's Amelia Wesson. If you ever thought lusting after someone wasn't possible, it is And he did.

Dawson got a little close to Amelia then he wanted to at first. There was a few other things going on that made him wonder what was really going on. Carl is a very evil man. He treated his friends badly and turned his son into an evil person too.

Dawson had some secrets that he didn't want to share with anyone but, Amelia had this way about her that got him to open up to her. What he hid from himself she found a way to get it out of him. He would keep trying to push her away and she wouldn't let him. I think she was falling in love with him.

By the end of the book you find out all the truth about everything. Its very much worth reading.
