Clarity

In my continual love for YA novels, I picked up "Clarity" by Kim Harrington.  I don't know why, but I think I thought it was by Kim Harrison, who I love.  Another case of Lindy can't read, I suppose.

Anyway, I still enjoyed it.  Clarity, or Clare, is psychic.  No, really, she is.  And there's a murder in her small town, and is asked to help by the new boy.  Who is, of course, the new hot-shot homicide detective's son.  Oh, and they mayor's son is her ex.  And there's a lot of drama there.

Anyway, it was a fun romp through teen land.  Actual believable characters, which is nice.  Not too many cliches, though you have to appreciate the cop who hates psychics.  Or the cop's son.  Which ever.

And I'm all kinds of curious about her brother's friend.  He's not on her radar as more than a friend, but I get the feeling she's on his.

Anyway, if you're looking for a murder mystery with a slightly predictable ending and a fun time to be had, I recommend this.

Shadows at Midnight

So, I won't be posting every book that I read, but I'll try to post a lot.

Recently?  "Shadows at Midnight" by Elizabeth Jennings.  It was good.  A romantic suspense that was heavier on the suspense than the romance, which I seriously appreciated. 

Nothing like a heroine with amnesia and a ex-military hero trying to take down a corrupt politician.  Yay!

Seriously, though.  I enjoyed the book.  Of course, I tend to like these types of books.  She's an ex-spook who almost died in an explosion, and is now just trying to live.  He's ex-military and was also there at the explosion, and thought she was dead.  He's also really hung up on her.  But, finds out she's alive, and then people start trying to kill her.

So they try to figure out why.  And they stumble upon a conspiracy, a scam, and many, many murders.

They win eventually, of course.  But I really enjoyed the story.
