Review: Before She Disappeared
Before She Disappeared by Lisa GardnerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Frankie Elkin is an average middle-aged woman, a recovering alcoholic with more regrets than belongings. But she spends her life doing what no one else will--searching for missing people the world has stopped looking for. When the police have given up, when the public no longer remembers, when the media has never paid attention, Frankie starts looking.
A new case brings her to Mattapan, a Boston neighborhood with a rough reputation. She is searching for Angelique Badeau, a Haitian teenager who vanished from her high school months earlier. Resistance from the Boston PD and the victim's wary family tells Frankie she's on her own--and she soon learns she's asking questions someone doesn't want answered. But Frankie will stop at nothing to discover the truth, even if it means the next person to go missing could be her.
I liked the concept of this book, however, I did not like the main character. Frankie's personality while I cannot necessarily relate to, I still found generally off putting. The case itself was interesting to read about and the turns it took.

Review: Chasing Cassandra (The Ravenels, #6) by Lisa Kleypas
Chasing Cassandra by Lisa KleypasMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Railway tycoon Tom Severin possesses immense wealth and influence, allowing him to acquire anything or anyone he desires. However, Lady Cassandra Ravenel, a woman seeking love rather than material comfort, proves to be a challenge. Although Severin is captivated by Cassandra's beauty and wit, she is determined to marry for love, a quality he lacks.
Despite his frozen heart, Severin remains a compelling figure in Cassandra's eyes. Nonetheless, she refuses to be part of his cutthroat world where winning is everything. When Cassandra's reputation is endangered by an enemy, Severin seizes the opportunity to prove his worth. Yet, he may discover that underestimating a Ravenel is a grave mistake.
Cassandra exuded sass and humor, making her character immensely lovable. Her wit and charm drew me in completely. On the other hand, Tom Severin's character intrigued me, particularly his unique thought process and the way he analyzed various literary works. It offered a fresh perspective on how interpretations can vary from person to person.
