Face of Betrayal by: Lis Weighl

While on Christmas break a seventeen-year-old Senate page named Katie Converse goes missing. The Triple Threat, which consists of crime reporter Cassidy Shaw, federal prosecutor Allison Pierce, and FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges, teams up to try and find her. Through the help of Katie’s blog these three women try to piece together what happened to this unfortunate young woman.

I didn’t think I would really get into this book but I ended up surprising myself. It was very entertaining. However, I didn’t like how it ended. It seemed to stop suddenly, like the book wasn’t quite finished yet. The character development could have been better and I didn’t like the way the chapters were set up, they are very confusing at first. All that aside, the book captured my attention from the start and didn’t let it go. I would definitely recommend it to others.

My dream job...

My dream job is to be a freelance copy editor. What better way to spend your day than to sit in the comfort of your own home doing the thing you love best and getting paid for it? The thing I love doing best just happens to be correcting grammar. I was on my high school's Yearbook staff and my title was the "Grammar Nazi", basically a copy editor, and I loved it.
