I finished In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware. Lenora is invited to a hen night, which is the equivalent to a bachelorette party, of her friend that she has not seen in ten years after she just up and left her boarding school. She isn't sure why she was invited to the hen night and not the wedding but she decides to go anyways. I mean what should be a cozy and fun-filled weekend deep in the English countryside takes a sinister turn. But when night falls and they start playing games truth comes out and Lenora starts to remember things from her past that she has tried so hard to forget. Then they realize that they are not alone in the countryside. Lenora wakes up in the hospital not sure what happened but as she learns why she is there and what happened she realizes why she was invited in the first place.
I wont be like the other people that read this book and write a bad review because in all honesty it was a good book. They said that it was a dead give away about who was the antagonist of the story false! I had totally picked the wrong killer in the end. I think that just goes to show you that you shouldn't listen to the reviews and read the book and make your own decision. I am excited to hear that it is going to be made into a movie soon, with Reese Witherspoon in the Directors Chair. EEEK!
Now I just finished Sister by Rosemund Lupton. When Bee gets a call from her mother, telling her that her younger sister,Tess is missing, she returns home to London. She is ready to yell at her sister for freaking out her mom and her when she finds out that the police have found a body. The body turns out to be Tess, they say that she committed suicide. But Bee doesn't believe that her sister would do that seeing as she was pregnant. With all the twist and turns that the author throws at you like, the story is told from two views; Bee is writing a letter to her dead sister and at the same time she is telling a detective the story of how she found out what happened to her sister. Bee uncovers the affair Tess was having with a married man and the pregnancy that resulted, and her difficultly with a stalker who may have crossed the line when Tess refused his advances. Tess was also participating in an experimental medical trial that might have gone very wrong. As a determined Bee gives her statement to the lead investigator, her story reveals a predator who got away with murder--and an obsession that may cost Bee her own life. I won't lie this book took me much longer to read than normal. I couldn't really get into it. I mean the going back and forth between letter to dead sister to telling a detective what actually happened; but in the end you find out that the detective is just a figment of her imagination. I am going to give the author another try and read her book called Afterwards when I go to the library next time.
I also am starting to get things ready for Emmett and Bryson's Goody Bags for Valentine's Day Parties. I love getting to be able to things like this for them! Also I love the Dollar Tree they always have the cutest things for the bags!
