Death Angel, by Linda Howard

Finally I read this book! As some have said, Linda Howard has come back. The book is not as good as her old ones, but much better than the ones previous to this one. The part where she dies and is given a second chance is very good, doesn't give you the feeling that its unreal or too sickly sweet. I loved when she expresses the feeling of peace, also when she found her son, it was very moving. The part where I wasn't too conviced is when Simon cried in the chapel, from heartless killer to crying sentiment was a big leap. But anyway, the writing style, the sex, the rhythm, it was Linda Howard back again. Also, the end was a little lame, but her endings usually leave you
wishing for more. One thing I like about her books is how she changes your values; something that is illegal or wrong is seen as acceptable or even desirable in her books; such is the case of when Simon does his final killing act. Won't reveal too much in case someone is reading this and hasn't read the book.

Catch of the Day, by Kristan Higgins

I just finished this book and wanted to recommend it for those who like Susan Mallery and Rachel Gibson. It has romance and comedy. There were some parts that you just had to laugh out loud, and other parts that made my eyes water. This book is the author's first book, and really, I'm impressed, she did a very good job.

Its about this girl who is 31, the biological clock is ticking, and she owns a
diner in this little town in northern Maine. Wendy may get a kick out of their Mainish slang, they say "wicked" a lot. She meets this guy, falls for him, and after she tells the whole town about him, turns out he's the new Catholic priest in town. Needless to say, she's the butt of everyone's jokes in town. The story has family interactions, friend interactions, the heroine manages to get into these ridiculous situations making her the laughing stock of the town, but at the end she finally gets her man, the least one you expect. Lovely book, great laughs and lots of sentiment.
