Book Review: In Places Hidden

In Places Hidden (Golden Gate Secrets Book #1) by [Peterson, Tracie]Camriann Coulter is on her way to San Francisco. Her brother went missing three months ago and she wants to find him. Along her path she comes across two others who need so solve mysteries, Judith and Kenzie. Together they decide to help each others. They find a room to share and a job. Camri discovers dangers as she goes on her search throughout the city.
Tracie Peterson has a gift of writing books which draw the reader in and wanting more. This book was a combination of suspense, romance and God's love. I love the way she is able to draw these together to make me want to read each book that she writes.
I was given this book by Bethany House Publishing in exchange for my honest review.




Book Review: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

J.K. Rowling is able to bridge the gap between reading for children and adults with her Harry Potter Series. This is the third book in the series and it deals with an escape from Azkaban Prison by Sirius Black. Black was convicted of killing thirteen people at once and there are those who say he is in league with Voldemort. With his escape, everyone is looking out, especially those at Hogwarts.
I have read this series many times and love it as much as the first time reading it. I recommend this book.
