Have to give it a 2.9 out of 5 but it could have been much higher. The story is great in the beginning. Klune develops the characters masterfully. Then around the middle of the book it all goes to hell. It gets overdramatic and drags. It becomes predictable and characters seem to appear only to prolong the story. It is a good story until he f's it up. What I've learned: Don't let the story drag. Don't be overdramatic. Start strong and finish strong.

1. The Caretaker's Daughter by Gabrielle Goldsby
2 out of 5 stars. The Caretaker's Daughter is filled with drama from beginning to end. It is entertaining in some parts but mostly it is too long. Lots of material could have been left on cutting room floor. It was okay no where near great. The book got predictible with everything coming to head in one room. What I learned: Don't be predictable. Don't put unnecessary stuff in book.
