My Review:

I really enjoyed reading Charlie’s Girl.  I stayed up late to finish it.  It was about a 14 year Rosalind who came to live with her Grandma after her parents died. For a number of years she was shuffled from foster home to foster home before her Grandma tracked her down and wanted custody of her.  Rosalind had a hard time at first as the girls at school and church made fun of her.  She was laughed at and talked about.  Then the family next door moved in.  There was a girl her age who she became friends with and an older brother that she liked.  You will need to read the story to see what happens.  I loved the characters and the setting of Charlie’s Girl.  I am sure once you start reading you will not be able to put it down.

Silver-White by Shawn Underhill

“The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep.”

~ Robert Frost

*Evie’s family has been holding out on her …

Big time.

On an unexpected visit to her grandparents’ house in New Hampshire’s secluded North Woods, the sixteen-year-old literally runs into the truth of the long-hidden family secrets, and finds herself thrust without warning into the clandestine world of the Great North Pack—a wild and exhilarating world of rugged beauty, heart-pounding adventures, and long nights running under a sea of stars … but as she’s set to discover, a world also fraught with potential dangers lurking in the shadows.
Praise

“Simply put, this book was amazing. I’ve read more fantasy novels than than I can count, but this one is certainly one of the best. The heroine isn’t some wishy-washy pansy that screams at everything, and the focus of the story isn’t on some unbelievably beautiful teenage girl who suddenly becomes the biggest, baddest member of her species falling in love with some big, bad, sexy member of her newfound species. It’s about a girl becoming something she never knew existed, finding her place within the pack family she values more than ever before, and an age-old feud that threatens everything she loves.” ~Morgan

My Review:
I really enjoyed reading this book Secretly Smitten.  I love the small town and all the people in it.  The story starts at Natalie’s Bridle shower when Mia finds some military dog tags while playing in the attic.  The girls find out that it is their Grandma’s long lost, thought died boyfriends dog tags.  He had been killed while serving in Korea.  How did they get into their Grandma’s attic?  Was he still alive?  Did someone from his family leave them?  The girls decide to solve this mystery even though their Mother doesn’t want them to.  She is afraid they find out something their Grandmother doesn’t need to know. Along the way of solving the mystery they each find someone special.  You will want to read Secretly Smitten to find out what happens.  I liked the book and hope that another one is on its way.
