    This was a pretty good yarn and a story that kept you guessing. However, for me, it had one fatal flaw. The story was written like an old Saturday matinee cliffhanger movie. It doesn't end, you have to go to the next book to find out what happens. If you are gong to write a book, wrap it up and move on to another story. I will not be reading any more from this series.

    Cute. Kind of funny. Unfortunately for me, it went otherworldly. Good personal developments. Some steps were left out, which made some things a little confusing. Overall, it's a nice read, though.

    Setting is a small west Texas town and it begins to snow in August. Soon they are locked in the town but not because of the snow. Not to give away too much the characters are different, with personal nuances. The characters have good and interesting literary character development which enhances our entertainment. If you enjoy quirky Sci Fi this is for you.

    The book had a great, strong, suspenseful beginning. It had a lot of spelling errors. The character Kayla was Karla for a whole page and I believed he called her Rachael at one point. The end kind of fizzled out. I would have given it more stars but I have begun to take a star away from books that end in the middle of the story and I have to buy another book to see how it ends. Which in this case I won’t be doing.
