Four more books

Okay, so I have four books to go through. Bear with me here....

#1 - Where Angels Fall by Chris Stewart
This is the second book in The Great and Terrible series (TGTS). Ammon, Luke, Sam and Elizabeth are all on earth now, living their lives. Ammon and Luke were sent to the same family. Sam joined their family through the Foster program. They have loving parents who do whatever they can to keep their family together.
Elizabeth is not only in a different family, she's in a different country. She lives in Iran with her father. Her mother died from complications after childbirth. Her father loves her very much and provides whatever he can. Though they live a simple life, Rassa (the father) has the blood of royalty in his veins.
Satan is working overtime to influence those who stood against him in the preexistence. His influence runs deep in some. He has people that will do anything for power and money.
One he has a strong hold on is Prince Abdullah al-Rahman of Saudi Arabia. The Prince is scared his father and brother will make their kingdom into a democratic regime. No more princes and no more kings.
An old man approaches Prince Abdullah al-Rahman and tells him the secret to keeping his kingdom and gaining more riches and power. He just has to wait twelve years.
This story is gripping and intoxicating. Just as in our lives, there are those who would do anything for love and those who would do anything for greed. If you have never read these books, I highly recommend them. I can't wait to read the next installment: The Second Sun.

#2 - The Kingdom by Clive Cussler
This is the third book in the Fargo series. Sam and Remi get a call that their friend, Frank Alton, is missing. They meet with Mr. King, the man who hired Frank, to find more information. Their journey leads them to Nepal where they come across good guys and bad guys. They soon find out that Mr. King is not all he says he is. And neither is his wife/assistant and their two children.
Sam and Remi are fighting against a clock with an unknown time limit. They must find something called The Golden Man. Is it just a story, or is there really a box out there somewhere with the gold covered bones of man in it? Will Sam and Remi find it first, or will they die trying?
I absolutely love Clive Cussler's books! He keeps things clean while keeping it all exciting. No swearing and sex to ruin a story.

#3 - Miles to Go by Richard Paul Evans
The second journal of The Walk series starts right where the first left off. Alan Christofferson is in the hospital after being attacked by a gang. He has been stabbed several times and would have died if another truck hadn't stopped and helped him. When he wakes up, Angel is by his side. Angel is a young woman he had helped when she needed her flat tire changed. Her phone number was the only one the hospital workers could find. With his walk put on hold until he can heal from his wounds, Angel has offered to take him home with her to recuperate.
They get along okay, but Angel is hiding something from him. Who is she? Why did she move back to Spokane? And who is Nicole? Alan soon finds out that Angel is Nicole and she is in Spokane after her son was killed in a car accident and her marriage fell apart.
Alan heals and is ready to resume his walk. The east gate to Yellowstone is open and he is anxious to get going. He says goodbye to Nicole and is on his way. He soon meets up with a young girl, Kailamai. He saves her from being raped by several young men who picked her up as she was hitchhiking. Alan and Kailamai walk together and he learns more about her past and what she wants for the future. An idea forms and he contacts Nicole. Nicole drives to meet them and invites Kailamai to live with her and go to school. Kailamai is very happy and leaves with Nicole.
Alan is alone again and making his way to Key West, Florida. He stops in South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial. The next morning, as he is leaving his hotel, he is stopped by woman who knows him. She asks if he knows who she is and when he says no she asks if he is sure. He looks closely at her and realizes he does know her. She tells him she has been looking for him for weeks.
I'm not sure who the woman might be, but I have my hunches. I guess I will have to wait until April next year to find out if I am right.
If you have not read this series yet, please do so. There are passages in them you might find very insightful in your own life. I know I have.

#4 - Wrecked by Carol Higgins Clark
Yes, that's CAROL Higgins Clark, not Mary Higgins Clark. Carol is Mary's daughter. And like MHC, CHC is a wonderful writer.
Regan Reilly and her husband Jack are on Cape Cod to celebrate their one-year anniversary. They didn't expect this! A woman renting the house next door is found at the bottom of her stairs to the beach. Skip thinks she's dead and goes to get help. By the time Jack and Regan get there, the body is gone, presumably swept out to sea.
No one knows anything about the missing woman, Adele Hopkins. She has kept to herself and refused any friends. When the police enter the home, several pillow with the words "Grudge me, Grudge me not" are found along with several 'I'm Sorry' cards and list of first names. Are these people she wants to apologize to? What happened? Why is she on the Cape? Where is she from? These are all questions the police, Jack, Regan, Skip and the rest of the country would like to know.
One problem.... Adele didn't get swept out to sea. Instead, she is being held captive by a raving lunatic who calls himself an actor. He is in town with the cast of a new play. What is going to happen to her? Will she ever escape? Read the book to find out!!!!

Well, that's it for today! Up next is Just Take My Heart by Mary Higgins Clark. I'll let you know how it goes!!
