Review of Like Dandelion Dust

LIKE DANDELION DUST
Karen Kinsbury


One child, two sets of parents and one extremely difficult decision.  One father having anger and alcoholic tendencies, the other a hard working, loving man but both wanting a son.  One mother used as a punching bag and waiting for the one hit that will kill her, the other a stay home mom who had a life every woman dreams of.  One child and one decision that would change the lives of five people and possibly send two to prison and lead to the death of a child.  The agonizing decisions that a parent goes through to keep a child.  

I recommend reading the book and not seeing the movie.  The movie was a disappointment and rushed to much in the beginning and lingered to much at the end.  Not enough detail in the beginning to get the full emotional feel of the characters.  I understand that movies never follow the books exactly but this movie had only the main details from the book and most of the little details that meant a lot in the book were changed in the movie.  Great book but a bad movie.

Review of My Soul to Keep

MY SOUL TO KEEP
Melanie Wells

The third and final book as far as I know.  Who knows, Peter Terry may decide to invade the dreams of some other unsuspecting soul.  In this book Dr. Dylan Foster is ripped out of her happy world yet again by the kidnapping of a beautiful child.  She spends the entire book trying to figure out who did it and why.  She finds herself researching myths and going over her theology background to find the significance in snakes.  While plunging herself into another unauthorized investigation, she works on winning back the love of her life who just can't seem to share her with the bizarre circumstances that plague her life.  Another great read that is too hard to give you any information without giving it away.  I liked the second book the best of the three but all three are great.  


Review of The Soul Hunter

THE SOUL HUNTER
Melanie Wells

The second in the trilogy does not disappoint.  Dr. Dylan Foster is yanked into another nightmare from which she is unable to wake from.  It begins months after her first nightmare ended.  As she is getting ready for a birthday dinner with her man, she hears a knock at the door and as she opens it she finds a bloody ax which was conveniently placed against the door.  She finds herself caught up in the middle of a murder investigation.  Without giving anything else away, this is another must read book. 


Review of When the Day of Evil Comes

When the Day of Evil Comes 
Melanie Wells

Wow! Talk about a book that you just can't put down.  A book about fallen angels turned demon, suicidal college students and Dr. Dylan Foster, Psychology professor who is a complete control freak with OCD.  Dr. Foster is forced into a nightmare that she cannot wake up from.  Gifts from an anonymous person and being the center of an investigation, Dr. Foster plunges into an all out investigation of her own in a non-traditional way.  The first of three wonderful books.
