If the author had mentioned the main character had ADHD one more time, honestly I would have set fire to the book. The story itself was good, the plot interesting and the premise intrigued me but at the end, I didn't like the main character. Her habit of diagnosing everyone she met at the beginning of the story with some ab. psyche ailment turned me off and nothing that happened in the later half of the book could compensate. I don't think I'll be reading any of her other books in this series. (

I figured I could use some light, fun reading among all the ghost/dystopian books I've been reading, but I reeeeally picked wrong this time. I don't take my popcorn books as seriously as the others I read, so I give them a lot of leeway. But I got about halfway through How to Host a Killer Party and realized I didn't care about what was going on. It was cute, sure, and Presley Parker is a fun protagonist, but this is a case of the book just not being for me. (

Presley Parker is a newby party-planner in San Francisco. She has landed the party of a life-time, a "surprise wedding" for the Mayor on Alcatraz. But Pres finds herself in the middle of a mystery when the original party planner and the bride both end up murdered. As the chief suspect, Pres is determined to clear her name by finding the real killer.

This is a nice start to a new series. Pres and the cast of characters are well drawn and I could practically see them. The budding romance has potential. And Pres has a way of getting into trouble that is sort of endearing. (

Through the thick morning veil of San Francisco fog, all I could make out from the ferryboat deck was the eerie silhouette of an island.
