So many books and so little time to read them all. It's daunting to see so many promising books and even more being published every day. Hopefully our book reviews can help you decide what books you want to read next.

The Haunting of Autumn Lake by Marcia Lynn McClure

I don't know if I have read too many of Marcia Lynn McClure's books or if this just did not live up to expectations.  Autumn is the daughter of Ransom Lake.  This sequeal to "The Visions of Ransom Lake" had potential but never really had a good climax or even a romance story.  Autumn's romance with the cowboy that shows up in her life didn't really build, it just happened quickly with no fun incidents like her mother had.  Autumn has her father's looks, but supposedly her mother's attitude.  You can tell Marcia tried to go more into depth with details and branch out a little with her writing.  I am proud of her for doing that and expanding her writing capabilities, I just wish it hadn't taken away from the story.  She also used the villian's son to be the one to molest Autumn.  Why not just bring in another villian instead of trying to pretty much rewrite "The Visions of Ransom Lake."  I like how she kept Ransom a major character in the story and even still had his intuitions.  Overall, a little bit of a dissapointment.
