Reading Wrap-up/What Are You Reading?

Sheila at Book Journey hosts this weekly event where we celebrate what we are reading for the week as well as books completed the previous week. I use this this weekly meme as a way to give short, concise thoughts on the books I've read.

I have no clue where last week went.  Did not get much time to read print this week.  I started a couple of books, then got distracted by another book, and then another book caught my attention.  Spent more time listening to audio.

Thoughts on the Books I Read Last Week:

Virtue Falls by Christina Dodd

Elizabeth is known as the girl who saw her father murder her mother, but she does not remember anything. She is now a geologist and has turned home to study the geological changes of the area, and because her father has been released to a care facility with Alzheimer's. Many believe that Charles is innocent of his wife's death. A earthquake hits, uncovers some bones and unleashes a series of events that has the town reeling with fear, but many wanting the secrets revealed. A fast paced suspenseful read.  .

Disconnected by Jennifer Weiner (audio)

This short audio is haunting with a interesting twist. Shannon has completed her sixth stint at rehab and is determined to make it this time. We get a bit of her history and are rooting for her success.  When she receives unknown texts/messages she fears that she is being drawn back into her former life, but there is something that she just can't ignore.  Narrated by Jess Weixler.

Dirty Rowdy Thing by Christina Lauren (audio)

Five months ago Harlow and Finn met in Vegas while on a wild weekend with their friends and stupidly got married (and then annulled).  They really don't like each other but when Harlow's mom is diagnosed with breast cancer she needs a distraction and can't seem to get Finn out of her mind. Finn also needs a distraction, his family business is failing and he is contemplating a reality show to get them back in the black.  They decide to use each other as a distraction, but it soon turns into much more for each of them.  Hilarious, emotional and intense. Brilliantly  narrated by Shayna Thibodeaux and Sebastian York (one of my favorites) This is book two in a series, but stands alone well.

Whispers by Lisa Under (audio)

January LaVoy does an excellent job of narrating this story of how Elise realized that she was receiving messages of those in trouble that helped the police rescue or solve a case.  It takes her awhile to figure it out as she has just experienced a devastating loss and thinks what is happening is part of the grieving process.  Elise is a character that appears in the novel Fragile, but reading it is not necessary to this story. This short audio is the first part of a three part series of Elise's life.
