If you were offered money to stay in a haunted mansion overnight, would you do it?
Step into Drake Mansion where a group of people are playing to win a chance at a million dollars - which will be split if they all stay in the house, or one winner taking the entire thing as the night goes on. As they work through trying to figure out the secrets that the house holds, there is more at play than just a couple of ghosts, and what they uncover, with the help of an old journal goes farther than just sitting around waiting...
Oh my, I was not sure as I started the book whether I was going to like it or not, but when it started to pick up, man did it pick up! This went from a 3 star to a 5 star read really fast! I was blown away with how the story managed to turn and reveal much more than I anticipated! Great for a rainy weekend read!
Nero is not known as one of the best Rome offered, but his story is compelling nonetheless.
Margaret George has done a fabulous job with this book, bringing Nero to life in a way that many could not. You almost want to feel sorry for him throughout the book - although there are a myriad of emotions that one will go through while reading!
Fabulous book, and deserves a read!
The Civil War is one of the most written about pieces in history, but this story brings a side to light that is not often seen. Lt. Loring was taken prisoner after he had to surrender his ship to Confederate forces. After several years, and two escape attempts, he finally makes it back to the Union forces.
The story that unfolds here is one that will not soon be forgotten, and the small act that he played in the aftermath of President Lincoln's shooting, can be hailed as heroic.
I really loved this book! It was amazing!
This book held more twists and turns than I was expecting! It was fabulous! If you are looking for a book to fill your weekend, you need to read this one!
Find a little forgiveness, some closure, and some good ole family drama - just enough to keep everything and everyone interested and turned upside down!

A good read, but I did figure out, “who done it,” about halfway through the book, it was just one of those, yeah that makes the most sense moments. While the book was an enjoyable read, there were a few times where it felt as though it drug just a little bit, but then it would pick back up - rinse and repeat.

Roger Sparks is not your typical person, he exemplified the military lifestyle, pushing himself and others harder and farther then they thought possible. Warrior's Creed takes us on a journey that one will not soon forget. I was enthralled from the first page, and could not put it down. As a veteran, I listened to the story and could only imagine what he was feeling, thinking, and going through.
I am still processing my thoughts on the book, but WOW, this was an eye-opener!
This book is a surefire winner and not your typical “military read.”
