The Burning by Linda Castillo

by LyndaP

The author/publisher description is, well, perfect. It discloses just the right amount of information without giving away the plot. And those of us who love the Kate Burkholder series know that Katie will go through some rough times, that she will get the perpetrator or perpetrators in the end, and that the murder will not be an ordinary one. And yep! I’m a Kate Burkholder series fan. BTW, I have to remind myself it’s the Kate Burkholder, not the Katie, series.

This was a page-turner for me. Click “Read more” to find out why.

Dating an Amish Flirt by Rachel J. Good

by LyndaP

To my astonishment, Amazon rejected this review as written. Will try again.
Some girls don’t have to even try. Boys just are attracted to them. I bet you knew someone in high school like that. I did. And, of course, I was one of the ones that didn’t. Turns out that the same thing happens in the Amish world. Rachel is such a girl. Her best friend growing up was Josh. But in the eighth grade (that’s the final grade in an Amish school), he distanced himself from her. She never knew why. But Josh knows why and he does love Rachel even though he is courting another girl. Boys still flock around Rachel like bees even though she gives them no encouragement. And the girls call her a flirt every chance they get. And they ignore her. Rachel lives a lonely life.

When the opportunity to do repairs on Rachel’s home, Josh jumps at the chance. Even if he is courting another girl. His heart wants – needs to help Rachel.
