OFF AND RUNNING WITH A GREAT NEW SERIES!!!
TOO BIG TO MISS This is one good book. We meet Odelia Grey, a legal assistant, living in California. She is big, she is beautiful, she is a normal woman, like any of my own friends and/or me.

Total camp, but I loved it!
I have just recently started reading JF Gonzalez, and I have to say that I am definitely sold! As other reviewers have said, Clickers is an old-school creature-feature tale. Gonzalez knows how to shock, with just the right amount of gore, and the right amount of suspense. Yes, as another reviewer stated, there are some spelling errors and this book could have used a better editor, but that really ...

The author captivates your interest right away and keeps your interest to the very last page. Christine has a unique writing style, very descriptive but not overly wordy. You feel you are right at Spirit Lake along ...
