Excellent review of The Last Bridge . When do you plan to read Sarah's Key? I enjoyed that one too.
Forbidden Bread for me! The last two LTER books I got Baby Jesus Pawn Shop and The last Bridge were both pretty good, so I'm looking forward to this one.
22. The Last Bridge by Teri Coyne Excellent! A gripping, harrowing, disturbing read that is difficult to put down.
I'm about halfway through The Last Bridge by Teri Coyne. It is very hard to put down!
Just received The Last Bridge , which was a March giveaway.
I just tore through The Last Bridge and finished it last night. Definitely a page-turner and highly recommended. Now I am pondering my next move... I have a short trip to Hawaii coming up this Saturday, so I will need several books. Oh the joy!
I'am so surprised that I'am getting Looking After Pigeon I just got and started The Last Bridge one of the March Early Reviewers. Thanks Abby!! :)
