Sigh, I was ready to give The Ruining four stars. But the ending was so disappointing I can't bring myself to do it. A creepy, intense thriller that is very different from what I usually read. I was instantly hooked from the beginning. It ended up being predictable, with another incredible naive pro...

When Annie describes watching Detroit fade away as she flies out of DTW and I thought, "I've flown in and out of that airport dozens of times heading to or coming from the west and have never seen the city from the a...
The Ruining was easily one of my most anticipated debuts of 2013. I thought the summary sounded really intriguing and I expected it to be one of my first debuts read. Obviously that didn’t happen but as soon as I picked this up from the library I dove right in.Annie , the main character, leaves her ...

I LOVED this book. It sucked me in from the beginning and didn't let go until the very end.The book followed Annie, a young girl with a troubled past looking for a fresh start in life. She finds this by becoming an au pair for Libby and Walker Cohen in an upscale neighbourhood in San Francisco. By ...
