Happy New Year!!!

Hi Everyone.. I hope this blog post finds you happy and healthy in the new year. As promised I am doing my best to post more during this year and hopefully find some new readers, books, and authors! To start my year I finished a book my sister sent me for Christmas. The title is "Love Lies Beneath" and it was a very different book. It had steamy scenes and intruige, but also boasts an ending you will not see coming.
I thought I knew what was going to happen based on the thousands (yes that is correct) of other books I have read. I mean let's be honest, its tough to find a book with a plot we haven't at least read a hint of before. This is why I love reading new authors and Ellen Hopkins does not disappoint. She had me turning pages and trying to figure out exactly how all that story was going to fit into the rapidly dwindling pages.
The book blurb reads like this:
Once a widow, twice divorced, Tara is a woman with a past she prefers to keep hidden. She’s gorgeous, affluent, and content living alone in her flawless San Francisco mansion.
That is, until she meets Cavin Lattimore—the charming surgeon who sweeps her off her feet following a ski accident in Lake Tahoe. But as her recovery progresses and her love life flourishes, Tara notices some suspicious incidents—an unusual van parked outside her home, a break-in, threatening text messages, and distressing emails. She can’t help but notice the cracks in Cavin’s “perfect” persona, including the suppressed rage his conniving teenage son elicits.
Housebound and on crutches, Tara depends on Cavin—perhaps to a dangerous degree—as she juggles difficult relationships with her envious sister and best friend, her irritable brother-in-law, and her estranged mother. However perfect Tara’s life may have appeared before, new events are starting to expose what lies beneath.
Writing for the first time in prose, Ellen Hopkins unveils a brand new form that’s fresh, smoldering and emblematic of her celebrated poetic voice. Injected with a signature dose of suspense, sex, and drama, Love Lies Beneath delivers right up to its shocking and unexpected conclusion.
I must say that this was a good read and one I would recommend. If you are shy about the sexual details then you may want to stay clear but other than that the plot will keep you guessing. When they say unexpected conclusion they mean it! I was down to a handful of pages before I realized what was happening.
So, I have not forgot that I promised you some interesting news for 2017, but I am keeping the lid on it a bit longer. Until next time... Happy Reading!
