Summer Rental is a really good, quick read. I always enjoy Mary Kay Andrews books, and have read all of them.
This book takes you to Nags Head, NC, where 3 childhood friends rent a beach house for the month of August to reconnect. Ellis, Julia and Dorie are in their 30's and at big turning points in their lives. Which we have all been through in our own lives. I really felt their ups and downs in this story, and felt I could be friends with these ladies. Some conversations in this book sounded like me and Kiki. Its nice to see friendships with loyalty, laughs, cries, jokes, bickering....real life folks.
Enjoyable read!!

One Grave at a Time by Jeaniene Frost (Book 6)
Jules rating 5 stars
The Red Reaper is back in all her glory!! I love, love, this series. I have no clue where Jeaniene Frost comes up with her stories, but I love them !! If you have not read this series, start with book 1, Halfway to the Grave, the books take off right where the last one left off. Action packed, I read the book in one day. I could not put it down, it seems every book gets better.
Cat and Bones are back, and are in a good place with their marriage. They are the greatest couple, very hot, and as always never a dull moment. Fabian comes to Cat for help with one of his ghostly friends. They need help to hunt down the crazed ghost/witch hunter Heinrich Kramer. Who comes into a physical form on Halloween, then picks out 3 innocent women to torture and burn alive. He's a real peach.....of course Cat ends up being one of his targets. Hmm, How do you capture and kill a ghost?? Answer, not easily.
Crazy issues start popping up at The Compound, when Jason Madigan takes over where Don left off, and knows way to much to be acting so clueless.....and has big issues with Cat. Don is very upset that Jason is there, but will not tell anyone why, even as a ghost he is still a stubborn man that keeps secrets. Can't wait to see where this story line takes us, hopefully we will start to find out in the next book.
The whole gang is back, with the exception of Vlad(whom I love) and Mercheres. The new addition of Tyler, who is a medium, is great. He is so funny and flamboyant. Tyler has a thing for Ian, so cute. I hope he is in future books.
Can't wait for book 7 to come out!!! Happy reading !!!
