Year End Review

Since I started this challenge on my original blog, I am going to just wrap up the year there.  

💖  And, let me be honest...I do not have the time to keep up with two blogs...so I am not even sure if anyone reads these posts...but I am just going to go back to posting everything - the good, the bad, the ugly - about life and reading on my original blog!

Dead End

by Nancy Mehl

When Kaely Quinn finds out she has to go head to head with the past she has fought hard to bury, all kinds of things surface...it isn't pretty, but it is necessary.  

I am really glad I read this series!  Word of warning though, it pulls you in and you HAVE to keep reading, so make sure you have plenty of time.  Other than that - HIGHLY recommend.  This is a nice conclusion to Kaely Quinn's story.

Wrap-up💖:

Fire Storm

by Nancy Mehl

EXCELLENT.  

Although I have to admit, unlike the first book in the series, this one took me a bit.  But once this one pulled me in, I couldn't read fast enough to find out who was behind the fires.  This book delves a bit more into the lives of Kaely, Jason, and their mom and all the dysfunction that wraps around them tighter than a snug sleeping bag.

Highly recommend, but word of caution : read when you have plenty of time because if not, dinners will be ruined, clothes forgotten, and chores left undone.
