BAD CALL by Stephen Wallenfels

This book was slow starting. I didn’t like the flashbacks in between the actions. They were frequently redundant. Four high school seniors on the tennis team, are playing poker one evening and make a bet. They would go hiking in the Gand Canuon. Rhody, one friend backed out at the last minute but CEO had a plan. CEO invited a female friend to accompany them. When Ellie realized she was the only female she almost backed out. But CEO is quite the conspirator . So they all went hiking...... things went from bad to worse quickly. They had rain, snow and bears. But never fear, Grahme has a hatchet. What is he planning to do with the hatchet? Three come out of the hike and one is missing. Find out who doesn’t survive.

SHELTER IN PLACE

SHELTER IN PLACE by Nora Roberts was a very emotional book. Imagine being the victim of a mass shooting. I realize this is quite a heart-wrenching event given current events. How would you deal with it if you were directly involved. I’m not sure how I would deal. I know I would not deal like Patricia did. I wish I could deal like Simone did but that skill escapes me. This was a very eye opening story, written quite well as Nora always does.
