I was captured from the first page and, like Colins lovers who are fighting time and space to be reunited, came up for air only after the remarkable journey was complete.Erika Marks, author of The Last Treasure In The Dream Keepers Daughter, Emily Colin thins out the line between present and past, dream and reality, and allows you to cross over into a haunting world that will make your heart race, weep, and celebrate things that are lost and found.

Mehso-so

Meh. I was really, really into the story at the beginning. About a quarter of the way through, though, I lost much of my interest. There just wasn't enough substance to hold my attention. I ended up just skim reading the final three-fourths.

We made it to the café. The perfect time of day, not crowded, soft music in the background and a full afternoon of reading. I chose an enchilada galette, and a vanilla latte. I'll be picking out an iced tea in a little bit. They have a great tea selection here too. Now, back to reading, I have quite a bit of catching up to do, if I'm going to make the 24 hour goal!
