The Roadhouse by Kerry McGinnis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Roadhouse is all about family secrets mixed with crime and romance. So the plot goes out like Charli who wants to be an actress doesn’t have the talent to be one so she decided to go back home a few hours east of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. When she arrived, she found out that her mom had heartache and airlifted to Adelaide for surgery. So Charli took over the family business however, unexplained incidents were happening at the roadhouse that made Charli thinking about Annabelle’s death. The Roadhouse is the first book I had read of Kerry Mcginnis and I really enjoyed reading it. As you see, the plot got my attention to read this book especially after waiting for my favorite author novel to arrive this coming week. I thought this book was fantastic. I love how Kerry portrayal of Charli characters and the way they twine everything together with one another. The book is well written and the readers will learn about how to run a service station in isolated places while learning family values and not to keep secrets and greed which can cause misunderstanding and stress in the families. I totally recommend this book!!

The Siege by Mark Alpert
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is kind of hard to review. I am still not sure how I feel about the characters because, well, they’re robots. They don’t feel things the way most people do and yet, they do. Because all of their memories were implanted in the machines, they are like a weird hybrid of robots and humans. This was so hard to get used to. I didn’t really get the romance thing between Adam and Shannon. How can robots even have a relationship? That part was so weird and honestly, I would have liked that part to be explored a little bit more. Shannon does get upset at something Adam does pretty early on and she ends things with him. I wish more of the book would have been spent on exploring that relationship and what it means. But recently I watch the new Terminator movie “Dark Fate” and it kinda helps me analyze this book well sort of. I don’t want to spoil it since many of you might not see the new Terminator “Dark Fate” movie yet before 11/3/2019. Anyway, overall great read!
