Ahh summer..who has time to read???

UUggg....I have been so lazy in the reading department.  I have taken to mobile home improvements and knitting while enjoying summer shows like America's Got Talent (yeah for Howie, I was so sick of the Hoff!) and Last Comic Standing.  I have been trying to get through some reading, well one book really...not going so well.  I receive books to review from time to time and some times it is a chore to get through them.  I do have 2 that I received the other week I am anxious to get to, but I feel like I should read them in order, so I am trudging through.  


I have been listening to Wild Ride by Jennifer Cruise and Bob Mayer.  This is a story about a small town girl Mary Alice Brannigan, Mab to her friends, who leaves town only to herself back at the local amusement park renovating the rides and attractions.  Being back brings back memories of standing out in high school, being different, and having a crazy mother who believe the very park she is working is a haven for demons.  Mab resented her mother and always dismissed her crazy accusations, but when she is run over by the metal clown she has been lovingly renovating, she knows something is very different in the park.  It just so happens that her mother was right in a way, there are demons in the park, being held prisoners.  Since these five demons are the worlds worse, there is a group of people who are guardians and are sworn to make sure the Untouchables never escape.  One by one, they do escape and somehow, Mab finds herself having to join the Guardia, protect mankind, and admit her mom wasn't as batty as she thought.



This is a fun story that has had a few surprise twists and some not so surprising turns.  It a story about demons and powers, so don't look to deeply into it, but if you are looking for a light entertaining read, this one is perfect.  It would be a great book to take to the beach and enjoy the surf and sun.


I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars.
