In Lisa Gardner's thriller featuring troubled law enforcement consultant Lorraine "Rainie" Conner (The Next Accident, The Third Victim, et al.), she asks the question: When the love of your life vanishes, how far would you go to get him or her back?



When retired FBI profiler Pierce Quincy gets a phone call in the middle of the night, his worst fears become reality. Rainie, his estranged wife, has been kidnapped. After her car is found on a rural Oregon road with its driver's door open and engine idling, the Oregon State Police -- headed by overworked Sergeant Detective Carlton Kincaid -- receive a cryptic message from the unidentified abductor demanding money. Quincy immediately enlists the aid of his daughter Kimberly, an ambitious FBI agent based in Atlanta, and teams up with Kincaid and a local sheriff named Shelly Atkins in a race against time that could very well end in disaster. Rainie, meanwhile, is blindfolded and tied up "someplace dank and forgotten, where fat spiders weave huge masterpieces of sticky lace and small animals come to die." But as she battles with emotional and physical collapse, she comes to a stunning realization about herself



Gardner's Gone is noteworthy in large part for her brilliantly realistic character development. There are no black-and-white characters here -- only shades of gray. Protagonists like Conner and Quincy are dealing with just as many painful "issues" as their adversaries -- the difference being their ability to overcome their problems and become survivors, not victims. Fans of emotionally charged thrillers should pick up a copy of Gone before it's, well, gone.

 My Review;

Another great suspense thriller by Lisa Gardner. This is another installment in the Quincy/Rainie series and in this one we get a good look at the relationship between these two very well developed characters. There was enough action to keep me reading and on the edge of my seat. And there was some great secondary players as well, my heart was sad for little Dougie, what a fighter! Again, I will say Lisa Gardner is a great storyteller!

My Review;

Great book, a wonderful thriller, it kept me on the edge and guessing until the end! I could not put it down, once I started reading, Lisa Gardner is so good at the description of her characters and their surroundings, I really felt I was in the midst of the action, the victims and the horrors they experienced seemed very real to me. This is not one I will easily forget.

What do you do when a killer targets the people you love the most? When he knows how to make them vulnerable? When he knows the same about you?

These are the questions that haunt FBI Special Agent Pierce Quincy. The police say his daughter’s death was an accident. Quincy will risk everything to learn the truth—and there’s only one person willing to help. Ex-cop Rainie Connor had once been paired professionally—and personally—with the brilliant FBI profiler. He helped her through the darkest days of her life.

Now it’s time for Rainie to return the favor. But this killer is like none these two hard-boiled pros have ever encountered. This twisted psychopath has an insatiable hunger for revenge...and for fear. As the clock ticks down to one unspeakably intimate act of vengeance, the only way Rainie can unmask this killer is to step directly in his murderous path. She will become a murder waiting to happen. She will be...the next accident

My Review;

I enjoyed this book, it was a tense, thrilling ride, the action is non-stop and the character development is just fantastic. Lisa Gardner, with her writing, makes you see and really care about the people, the victims, the good guys (Pierce, Raine, Kimberly, Luke, and Glenda) and really, really HATE the evil that some people are capable of committing!

My Review; 
This was a wonderful and lovely ending to this series. I am truly going to miss all of these women and their men! Nora Roberts has created such wonderful characters, they have flaws and they are not perfect, I just felt while I was reading the books that I was really in their world.

This book had everything the preceding three had, romance, hot guys, gorgeous weddings, a hilarious code red involving some unruly little boys and Mac's wedding! I do admit to getting a little teary eyed at the end, I just love when a book can move me the way this one and in fact, this whole series did!

But not all that glitters is gold, and the town harbors secrets darker than anyone could imagine—like the truth about what really happened the night Alison DiLaurentis went missing. . . .
Back in middle school, Ali plucked Emily, Hanna, Aria, and Spencer from obscurity and turned them into the beautiful, popular girls everyone wanted to be. Ali was the best friend they ever had. But she also made them do terrible things and taunted them with their worst secrets. Now, three years later, all their questions about Ali have finally been answered and they can put this awful chapter of their lives behind them. Or so they think.
Not every story has a happy ending, especially when four pretty little liars have done so many wicked things. In the dramatic conclusion of Sara Shepard's bestselling Pretty Little Liars series, Emily, Hanna, Aria, and Spencer could get everything they've ever wanted—unless A has one more horrifying twist in store.

My Review

This was a great end book to the series, finally had all the answers to what happened to Ali, who was the real A and what happens to the Pretty Little Liars. I was very glad to see some of the parents actually start acting a little more grown up in this book. Sara Shepard is a great storyteller, there were alot of twists and turns in this series but she held my interest in all the books. This ending may have been a little soap operaish but it was still a good read and alot of fun!
