A Coral Kiss by Jayne Ann Krentz

A Coral Kiss by Jayne Ann Krentz - 377 pages

Amy has been having nightmares ever since the night eight months ago when her friend died cave diving.  Now she has to go back to the island where it happened and she takes her friend Jed with her.  Turns out there was more to the diving accident and it is coming back to haunt her in more ways than just nightmares.

I was disappointed with this book.  The premise was okay, however you could tell the book was written in the 80s with its extremely dated views of men and women and relationships.  I probably wouldn't have finished the book if I had another one at home to read.

Beetle Boy by Margaret Willey

Beetle Boy by Margaret Willey - 198 pages

Charlie  never intended to become the world's youngest published author at the age of seven.  He did it to cheer up his dad after his mom left.  However, it turned into a nightmare for him as his father started publishing the bedtime stories Charlie's mom told him as Charlie's own stories and then making him dress up as a beetle for author appearances.  Now it's twelve years later and Charlie is trying to pick up the pieces of his life . . .

This was an interesting book.  It was mainly told in flashbacks and introspective musings by Charlie.  While it was not my favorite book it was interesting to read.
