Cover of "Naked in Death"

    • Naked in Death

    • This was my first time reading this series and I found it entertaining. It sort of reminded me of Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone mysteries, but edgier. I'll definitely be reading the second one in this series.

      Just a few pages in, I found that I had high hopes for this sequel. Edward leaves, and Bella is able to pursue a more appropriate relationship with Jacob Black and to try to re-kindle some normal friendships with her schoolmates. However the reprieve from Edward is all too short. From that point on, I found myself disliking Bella and all of her melodrama more and more with each page of this book.

Cover of "Dearly Devoted Dexter"
    • Dearly Devoted Dexter

    • Dexter has simply become my favorite sociopath. This installment in the Dexter saga has much more suspense and action than the first book while still retaining Dexter's trademark dark humor and razor-sharp irony.

      A look into the family life of the rich and self-centered. The story is told as an anecdote from a college senior working as a nanny for an upper class family in New York to get money to cover her living expenses during her last year of college at NYU. While the parts of the books that deal with the nanny and her charge are touching and amusing, the back story slowly becomes really quite disturbing. From the other nannies and maids that have had to essentially abandon their own families in order to get work and money to support their families, to the legions of kids growing up with absent and uncaring parents, under the daily care of a rotating army of nannies, maids, and teachers, it really makes you think.

      The Girl is in fifth grade, she's in love with the new boy in school, she hates it when her parents fight, and she's here to tell us The Truth. The Truth is 115 pages of observations told from the perspective of a young girl on the verge of adolescence. She isn't a girl growing up in the 21st century, she is a girl of a past generation, but she still talks about many things young girls today can relate to - boys, school, parents, siblings, friends, teachers, growing up. This is also a wonderful book for the parents of girls. Sometimes it's hard for adults to remember what childhood feels like, this book helps bring some of that back, and helps build understanding across the generations.
