This was a really intense book. I absolutely love Lisa Jackson's books. She definitely knows how to write a suspenseful book!

Once I get caught up on my current list of must read books, I'm requesting the sequel Absolute Fear!

Odd Thomas (*Audio CD)

Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz

David Aaron Baker (Narrator)

Started: 4/18/07
Finished: 4/20/07

This was a great story. I'd seen the book in stores, but it really didn't scream out to be read. However, listening to the Audio CD . . . wow, this is a great character with an amazing talent.

I enjoyed the story so much, I just requested Brother Odd & Forever Odd on Audio CDs from the library.

29. Withering Heights

Withering Heights by Dorothy Cannell

Finished: 4/26/07

This one was hard to stay awake for. It was an ok story, but wowser. I really got sleepy reading it. Needless to say . . . I'm not running out trying to track down the other 10 books with this character.

28. Wicked Nights

Wicked Nights by Nina Bangs.

Start: 4/19/07
Finish: 4/20/07

I read a book several months back with an excert from this book, and it was very intriguing. I love vampire books, and this was a pretty good one. There are two more books in this series, but the other two hotties are not vampires. One is a Sexual Demon & the other is an Immortal Warrior. I expected this to be a lot more explicit that it was. It actually turned out to be a very good story. Looks like I've got at least two more books to put on my must read list. It's starting to get pretty long.

27. After Midnight

I started reading After Midnight by Teresa Medeiros

Started: 4/16/07
Finished: 4/17/07

I thought I had already read this book, but it turns out I haven't. Adrian & Caroline's story was fantastic. Now . . . I just have to find Julian & Portia's story . . . The Vampire Who Loved Me. I wonder if the library has this?

Sieze The Night (*Audio CD)

Sieze The Night

Author: Dean Koontz
Narrator: Keith Szarabajka

Start: 4/12/07
Finish: 4/17/07

I've read both Fear Nothing & Seize The Night when they came out. In fact, I probably have them both in a box (or at Mom's). I absolutely love the character Christopher Snow. Listening to this audio cd was great. I'm coming to the conclusion that I really enjoy thriller/suspense audio cds. This was such a great story. I has me wanting to find Fear Nothing & give it a go for the 2nd time around.

26. Castle Magic

Castle Magic by Hannah Howell, Judith E. French, Colleen Faulkner

Started: 4/14/07
Finished: 4/15/07

This was a quick read. Somehow, I had missed this book when it came out. Actually, I hadn't "discovered" Hannah Howell yet. I just love her stories, so I thought I'd check this out from the library. I loved her story. The other two were pretty good also. I haven't read anything by the other two authors. Their stories were pretty good also.

25. It's Okay to Miss the Bed On the First Jump

It's Okay to Miss the Bed On the First Jump: And Other Life Lessons I Learned from Dogs by John O'Hurley

Started: 4/11/07

Great book. John O'Hurley is so charming & funny. His insight on what he's learned from the dogs in his lift is amazing. The book is witty & funny, with a few heart warming tidbits. I'm so glad I read this book. Bonus - It's a quick read.

The Husband (*Audio CD)

This turned out to be a very interesting story. A gardner's wife is kidnapped. It's a compelling story of the lenghts a husband will go to save his wife.

Dean Koontz is an amazing writer. This was a wonder story to listen to. I'm really starting to enjoy books on CD.
