Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)

J. K. Rowling

Arthur A. Levine Books, 2007

A great conclusion to a great series
This is the last of the Harry Potter series and my favorite. Although it starts out slowly, it quickly picks up momentum and peaks with a battle of epic proportions. My only problem is that the epilogue did not answer all of the questions I had. If you like books ...

Series lover!

David J. Linden

Belknap Press, 2008

The Accidental Werewolf (Accidental Friends, Book 1)

Dakota Cassidy

Disappointed

Retribution (Dale Brown's Dreamland)

Dale Brown, Jim Defelice

Broken Prey

Kept me guessing
This is the first murder mystery in a long time, where I didn't have everything figured out by the halfway point. I'd never read a Sandford novel before, and am very glad to have been introduced to this author. The characters, as gritty as they are, were well ...
