more free reads from Amazon top 100

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle
As I have mentioned in previous posts I like a good suspenseful book that makes me think. I liked these stories because I was familiar with the characters (Sherlock and Watson etc) but the stories were all new to me. It was fun watching characters that I know in many shapes and forms take on yet another life and face a new adventure every chapter. This was a book that I kept to reading a "chapter" a day so that the stories did not get mixed up or boring.

Ebola K - Bobby Adair
I liked this book! It went really fast and kept me interested the entire time. Yes, some of the scenes were hard to digest and with the recent Ebola scares throughout the states it was more easily believable that this story could happen in real life. Definitely would recommend this as a read to anyone that likes a bit of a terror plot thrown in with humanity being found in young members of society, even if they did lose their way for a while.

The Vanishing Game - William Boyd
This book was almost written like a movie script. Super quick read. It was not that it was bad I just wished it was a lot more developed.

Big Girls Don't Cry - Taylor Lee
Another book that grabbed my interest throughout. I was not in love with the language chosen (too many honeys and sweeties as the characters talked to each other) and there were a lot of super cheesy moments I could have done without. There was also a lot of the main character knowing she looked sexy, I am sorry, if you are avenging your beloved brothers death I would not be winking at myself as I checked out my butt in the mirror... If you can get past these flaws in the story though it was good!
