~Books Read~
The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
WooHoo!!! I got one read! Not only did I get a book read from the list, it has been on my tbr pile for years!
Yeah, only one book off the list but I'll take it :-)
Okay, fine.
I did read a couple more books that might have counted. . .
1. A Werewolf in Manhattan by Vicki Lewis Thompson - Paranormal Romance
with a bit of suspense (there is a stalker). On the lighter side of the
challenge.
2. Persuader by Lee Child - Suspense, gore, gun-runner, misuse of associates' family. {shudder}
3. The Cat's Meow - interconnected anthology on the lighter side of the
challenge. Wealthy widow is an eccentric Bostonian gypsy. She needs to
adopt out four cats and does what most of us would, she places an ad in
the newspaper. Only she also offers $10,000 to start a new business.
Each of the cats have their own story, written by a separate author.
4. The Enemy by Lee Child - Mystery, descriptive murder scenes, deadlines, threats of bodily harm by Delta guys. Stalking.
5. With a Kiss by Kim Dare - m/m romance, vampire/human re-telling
sleeping beauty (sort of). Liam volunteers at a hospital as a patient
visitor. Marcus is in a coma so Liam talks. Liam is a submissive with a
bad boyfriend and Marcus hears, and remembers, every word. Knows when
Liam has been knocked around. Marcus finally wakes up and there is
feeding, fear, stalking, passion, bondage and finally sex. The fear and
stalking are not Marcus/Liam although one is stalking and the other is
being stalked.
6. The Hard Way by Lee Child - a possessive husband, a dead first wife, a kidnapped second wife. Oh, the man has his own army guys. . . the ones that didn't get a dishonorable discharge simply because of lack of evidence. SAS, SEALS, Rangers. So what did he threaten to do to the step-child? She was 5 at the time. What about when he discovers his wife is pregnant with another man's child? shudder This was good but creepy.
