Locked In by Marcia Muller  Rating 5+
From the cover jacket…Sudden flash, loud pop. Rush of pain. OMG, I’ve been shot–Nothing.
This reader was hooked before page 1.  Sharon McCone, PI has been shot in the head and there is damage.  A brain injury of being Locked In (a real medical injury)  In a coma for 11 days after being shot.  Slowly she comes out of the coma BUT she realizes she can’t move, can’t communicate but hears everything.  This reader felt the terror, fright and trauma of being Locked In from the author’s words.  Then those around McCone realize she does hear and the only way she can communicate is by blinking her eyelids..once for yes, two for no.  She doesn’t remember all the details of being shot but what she does remember she can’t communicate.  Once again, this reader could feel McCone’s fustration and the terror of her prognosis of being Locked In.  Her employees try to find the shooter.  This was a nail biter down to the last page.  Mysteries within Mystery.  I have never read any of her books but am now a fan and will be reading her past and future novels.  This book was exceptional for those who like suspense.

Where have I been? lol  I won Locked In by Marcia Muller and is my current read.  So far this has all the qualities that I love in a book.  Page turning story line, short chapters and come to life characters.  This is the first time reading and/or hearing of this author.  If this continues, as I am 1/2 done, I will have to d/l to my ereader her prior books.  I have a doctor’s appt. today and for the first time am hoping she is running late so I can read.  Will give rating and full review when I finish reading it.

Also, thank you new followers for stopping by.  Hope you enjoyed my blog!

Computer still acting up 🙁  But wanted to welcome any new comers to my blog.  I have stumbled on to many nice blogs and have met even nicer people.  One being Vicki at Reading At The Beach that I have mentioned before.  Yesterday I awarded her with “The Beautiful Heart” award for having an inspirational blog site and overall an inspirational person.  I felt that she was so deserving of this for all the help she has given me.  And to my surprise…this morning I started my daily routine…..boot up my computer, grab a cup of coffee and read all my book blog newsletters, and there is a public thank you from Vicki and sending readers my way.  As I am a newbie, any suggestions will be accepted lol.  And thank you for stopping by.

Under Construction  and Changes !!!!!!!
With the kindness and help from J.T. at Bibliofreak blog site, she explained what I was doing wrong on my blog and how to fix it.  I had read on one of the many book blogs that I enjoy, that the nicest people are Book Bloggers and that is so true.  I will be formatting my blog differently using J.T.’s suggestion.  Thank you again J.T. for all your help.

Eleventh Victim by Nancy Grace  (Rating 1)
This has not happened to me in quite a while.  After reading over 100 pages, I closed the book due to boredom!!!!  What I did manage to read, I found to be fluff and wordy with no suspense grabbing and/or page turning story line.  Quite disappointed but this is only my opinion.
