This was another Kindle First, so I didn’t pay for it, which is great. Abandon is a town way way up in the mountains in Colorado. It was a mining town that eventually went bust. The story is split between 1893 and 2009. It’s told from a few different people’s perspectives. The 1893 people tell the story of Abandon before it was abandoned (haha, get it?). The 2009 people are climbing up the mountain to see the old town and maybe try to figure out […]
When the CIA is trying to kill you, you try to kill them back!
I love spy and conspiracy thrillers, so this was right up my alley. Plus, it was a Kindle First, so it was free! I can’t remember the main character’s name. Nevermind, I just looked it up, it’s Dan.

I guess you could call him an independent contractor. He actually feels sad once he […]
George asked her to write a ghost story

I think I read it in about an hour, which was pretty awesome. We originally get introduced to the main character as a […]
I randomly got this book from my neighbor
I got this book from my neighbor, who is an old lady. So I didn’t have much hope for it being a great book. However… I really liked it! Newsflash – old ladies like good books too! I guess I’m an ageist. The book takes place somewhere in the UK. It starts out as a really sad story of a kid (Stevie) whose uncle was kidnapped and murdered. His mom and grandmom basically ignore him most of the time. The rest of the time, they’re […]
