Mostly Bad Books
Twenty Wishes by Debbie Macomber
My review
rating: 2 of 5 stars
This was another "there's nothing else to read" book, and it was about as good as I expected. I've read some of the earlier books in the Blossom Street series (although I think I may have missed one?) and it was somewhat entertaining to revisit some of the characters. In general, as usual for Debbie Macomber, I found the characters underdeveloped and the events fairly implausible. Although I did have to laugh a few times!

The Matchmakers by Debbie Macomber
My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
I gave this book 3 stars instead of two primarily because it's a reprint - it was originally written in 1986 and was Debbie Macomber's first book. While the storyline is now probably fairly commonplace, it seems like it may have been somewhat more unique back when it was written. I found the characters a little bit more interesting than usual, although the usual stereotypes about men and women frequently appear. One aspect of Debbie Macomber's books that I do usually enjoy is the setting; she's from the Puget sound area and a lot of her books are set here, which makes them a little bit more interesting.

One Silent Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon
My review
rating: 1 of 5 stars
I don't often give a book 1 star, and I hate to do it in this case but I just could not enjoy this book. It's a shame because it has a lot of features that I enjoy - a strong female character, characters with interesting histories, a challenge that requires an innovative solution - but there was just something about it that I really struggled with.
If this book weren't part of this Dark-Hunter series, I would have not finished it but because it is, and I have been told it had some crucial details that I will need for later books, I forced myself to finish it. I am glad I did because I can see that these facts will come in handy to know later. I was pleased to finally learn more about Nick's background, and it was nice to see Stryker and his people finally find a "loophole" to their forced way of life.
