Songs of the Humpback Whale Jodi Picoult

Songs of the Humpback Whale by Jodi Picoult
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

This book was awful and I usually love her books. Flips between the past and present and told from multiple characters POV. Jane leaves her husband and starts an affair with a man young enough to be her son. The only reason Jane goes back to her husband is that her daughter's boyfriend who was old enough to be her father and the boy toy's best friend dies in a tragic accident when Jane refuses to allow them to be together.

Simi (Shadows of Fire, #3) by Sherrilyn Kenyon (Goodreads Author)

Simi by Sherrilyn Kenyon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It's told from Simi's POV so the majority of the book is in "Simi talk". Points of interest Simi knew Nick was the Malachi when she slept with him. She apparently knows lots of things that she doesn't always share with Ash.

So didn't see the Thorn and Simi romance coming.

The Death Mask (Eve Duncan, #31)

The Death Mask by Iris Johansen
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I love Irish Johansen but this plot is tired, she really needs to branch out to new material and start leaving Eve at home. Same plot different book. Bad rich man wants to rule the world and he needs Celine (beautiful girl) and Eve to do it. Good rich man (Alex Dominic) comes to Celine's rescue and they join forces to bring the bad guy down. Eve refuses to work with the bad guy so he kidnaps her son. Eve then agrees to work with the bad guy and Joe and Alex Dominic join forces to bring the bad guys down and rescue Celine, Eve and Michael. And don't get me wrong I would have done whatever it took to save my son, but Eve seems to get kidnapped an awful lot or forced into working for bad guys to save someone she cares about.

I did enjoy the material concerning Folashade.

Lethal Prey (Lucas Davenport #35; Virgil Flowers #16)

Lethal Prey by John Sandford
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book is a little different than usual as we know from the start who the killer is. Lucas & Virgil just have to catch up to what we know and the ending isn't satisfying as we don't know if the circumstantial evidence they are able to amass will lead to a conviction. I am actually surprised she is out on bail and enjoying life after burning Virgil's barn down.

Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts (Goodreads Author)

Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fall in love with Sloan and her family the Fix-It brothers sure did. And while the book is full of two romances and lots of remodeling of old homes the main plot revolves around the people that go missing and how Sloan works tirelessly to uncover their killer.
