Blog post 7

So, I just finished reading Killer Cupcakes by Leighann Dobbs. The ending was definitely nothing that I ever imagined it to be. In my mind, I had the wrong person being guilty of the murder, I imagined a completely different way of the bad guy being put away for their crime, and I never imagined the "her" to be a "him" (you will only understand that if you read the book, and I will not spoil by telling the meaning behind that, because then half the plot is ruined), I even imagined the outcome differently. Although, despite how surprised I was at the end, I feel as though the ending could have been way better than it was. The ending really fell short and was really sudden, the epilogue should have been the actual last chapter to that book. That would've made more sense and been a smoother ending. I don't think that I'll be reading any of the other books in that series. I do recommend the book to anyone and almost everyone that likes mystery books. I say almost everyone because there are a lot of people out there that would be even more disappointed with the ending than I was and I don't want to recommend a book to someone just to disappoint them. But for those who want to read it, its a great book, I loved the characters, the book kept me on my feet and I did feel like I was apart of the investigation (except for the breaking plot twisted end). Overall, I couldn't say I wasted any time of my life reading this book. Check out Killer Cupcakes and other Leighann Dobbs books!

Blog Post 6
So, this last two weeks I've been reading Killer Cupcakes again, because I hadn't finished it before I started reading The Lying game. I still haven't finished the book yet, but it's gotten more intense and has put me more on edge about what's going on.
A little reminder about the book: it's a mystery book about how Lexy's ex boyfriend, Kevin, had died because a cupcake he got from Lexy's bakery was poisoned. Lexy claims that she had no part of that, but she's been questioned and had her bakery inspected. But now she's taking matters into her own hands, and is being a detective, herself. She has gotten further than the real detectives have and, hopefully, soon she'll be able to crack the case. There's only one downfall to all of this, the detective on this case is Lexy's neighbor, Jack, and they both have feelings for each other.
Lexy has been getting packages from Kevin, even though he's supposed to be dead. So, now, reading this book I've been on edge trying to figure everything out, but none of it makes any sense. Reading this book, for me, has been really enjoyable, and I recommend it to anyone who likes to be on edge while reading, and also likes a little romance in books.
