I grew up reading books like The Babysitter Club and The Boxcar Kids. Now I read Romance, Young Adult, New Adult, Paranormal, Urban Fantasy, Dystopian and any mixture of these all depending on what my mood is. I love Stephen King, Michael Connolly, JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, Jane Austen, JK Rowling, Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs and many others.
                  
                                    
                                       This was like a train ride.  It started out slowly, but once it picked up speed, it was quite a ride! The first few chapters didn't really hold my interest.  I was about 25% of the way in when it really hooked me and I couldn't tear myself from the book.
