Lemon Tart by Josi S. Kilpack

Anne moved in across the street about 9 months ago. Quickly Sadie and Anne became friends. Anne needed a sitter and someone to help her with her little boy Trevor. Anne also wanted to learn how to cook, something Sadie had perfected over the years. But this morning, while making applesauce Sadie notices a police car in her neighborhood, something that just doesn't happen where she lives. Then she hears another police car. Shocked by this Sadie looks out the window and sees that they are at Anne's house. Sadie is so concerned she grabs her keys and runs to see what could possibly be going on at Anne's.   They ask Sadie why she is at Anne's house, Sadie explains that she helps watch Trevor for Anne when she is at work or needs help. Sadie explains to the officers that she has keys to Anne's place and can let them in. Quickly one of the officers ask if she knows much about Anne's place and if she can help point out anything that might be out of place. She walks the officers through the home pointing out some inconsistencies explaining why they are wrong. One officer is extremely unhappy that the other officer has asked for Sadie's help.  Anne's body is discovered in the backyard and due to no family in the area and Sadie not knowing how to contact them, she is asked to verify that the body is that of Anne's. Sadie is very upset to see the body and give a positive ID to the police that yes in fact Anne is dead and her son is missing.They send Sadie home letting her know that they will be back to speak to her. With great sadness Sadie starts to ponder who could have possibly killed Anne, where is Trevor and why did this happen. But little does Sadie know that there is so much more to this story then she ever thought possible.

This is an adult novel but is written by an LDS author, so it is something ANYONE 14 and up could read!
I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
It was a simple story, that had a great twist but I hated that it finally got good at the end.

New Year New Goals

Okay, so I decided to Blog about the books I am reading this year. Not as if anyone cares, but I do have a few friends that ask my opinion on books or they just want to know what I am reading. Maybe they are just asking to be nice that is probably more truth to it then anything but oh who the heck knows, and actually this is all about me. But I still decided it was a way to track my thoughts and feelings about what I am reading more in depth here then I can on Goodreads.com . Which by the way is one of my favorite resources on picking out a good book. I also feel like Goodreads is a great place for others to see what I am reading and how I rate a book. It helps eliminate the "ugg" is the going to be a good book fear.  Because face it  books are so stinking expensive, and take a lot of time to read, so why, oh why would you want to read a bad one if it can be avoided? AND, If you have enough friends a lot of times your friends have read the book you are considering reading. Do I support friends joining Goodreads, yes. Do I recieve any kind of recoginition and or money...lol no. But if you have not joined please do so if you read, and then look me up 3snugglebugsmommy-goodreads.com. I am always happy to have new book buddies!

Ok so back to why I am now posting. I am currently reading 3 books, Book One: Beautiful Demons by Sarra Cannon. Books Two: Kiss of Shadows by Laurell K Hamilton. And Book Three: Starfire Angels by Melanie Nilles. I won't post thoughts on these books until I am done reading. Although I will warn you Laurell K Hamilton is not a Young Adult book, It is JUST for ADULTS. Both Beautiful Demons and Starfire Angels are Young Adult Books!
