Independence by Kate Kasserman was a pleasant surprise. Historical fiction that brought the early days of our country to life. A story of a young, intelligent girl as she endures many hardships and adventures. Takes her from her home on the wilderness front, to life with Native Americans, to bar wench, to lady's companion. She becomes attracted to a Rebel and their lives interact in many unusual ways. A longer book on ebook than I am used to, but was unable to stop once started. I was left hanging at the end to the point I am looking forward to to sequel. Overall very well written book. Would highly recommend it.

Dirty little angels is a small look into the life of a girl in New Orleans. Life in a low income area. Dispair. Multiple small story lines attempting to intersect one another without quite doing so. Multiple characters that give views containing real life actions and consequences. Sexual content. Needed to expand some scenes and spend less time on over visualization. Kept me interested to a point. Slightly disappointed overall.
