Smashwords book reviews by Colleen Wait

  • If I Die Young on July 07, 2011
    (no rating)
    "If I Die Young" by Talia Jager was a difficult read for me. I have a 16-year-old daughter with allergies and it hurt to read about the main character. However, I must say the story was beautifully written with a happy ending. This is a very good book for teens and young adults. - colleen wait, author
  • Electronic Crime in Muted Key on July 09, 2011
    star star star
    As far as the book's plot is concerned, I liked the plot, the story line. However, for me there were too many characters, too many points of view, and the characters changed names so many times I got confused. If you are a reader who likes a challenge, likes to be kept guessing as to what was going on, then plan on reading this in a day or two. Personally, I found it confusing and too long. Overall a good effort by the author.
  • Death on Deadline on July 19, 2011

    I really liked this story! The main character's quirky, and often funny first-person narrative kept the story moving along at a fast clip. I am not normally a reader of murder mysteries, however, I never lost interest in "Death on Deadline". In fact I carried it around with me on vacation and read it whenever possible. Highly recommend this book.
