I'm So Sure

I'm So Sure is another great laugh-out-loud book by Jenny B. Jones. However, this book is more than just a comedy. It has elements of suspense that really keep the pages turning. I thoroughly enjoyed the plot and the twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. Bella is getting into more trouble than ever, while coming into her own in the "sleuthing" business. Luke is one of my favorite heroes, even though he is really ornery. The fact that he is totally hot has nothing to do with it. ;) I'm looking forward to the next book in the Charmed Life series, and seeing what new trouble these characters get themselves into.

Jenny B. Jones has penned a funny tale about the mishaps of living in Bella's world. Bella's stepdad made the cut for a wrestler reality show. The paparazzi seem are everywhere - especially to catch Bella with her many mishaps. Nothing like having your face splashed in tabloids for all to see. Bella has given herself a name in solving mysteries that surround Truman High School. This time, the prom queen candidates are the target. Luke, the newspaper editor-in-chief calls the shots for Bella and decides which stories she will write and investigate. Luke gives Bella mixed signals and she reciprocates the same. Getting closer to the truth, can be a dangerous feat. Will it be discovered before it's too late? Bella loves to visit her Dad but things get a little complicated with his new girlfriend. Her ex-boyfriend, Hunter, helps her escape some of the heat by showing up or calling at the right time. After what happened with him before, can she trust him again? She begins to talk to God again. Will her heart be open to His answer? I loved this book. As with Jenny's other books, she is out-loud funny! I highly recommend her books to all for great stories and tons of laughter!

You you haven't read any Jenny B. Jones, now is the best time to start. It is also a great gift for your young girl readers.(Perfect Christmas Stocking Stuffer) "I'm so sure" is a great follow up to "So Not Happening." The story had me laughing out loud, on the edge of my seat with suspense, sweating out the romantic tension scenes and remembering the role God plays in our lives. Watch out Edward Cullen, Luke is hot, gentlemanly and has a sense of humor. Great book for all ages! I read this book twice in one week. I really enjoyed it! It is an easy read and entertaining. I teach Jr. High and feel like I'm still part of it when I read these books. I can't wait to get my hands on the third one.

This is the second book by Jenny B. Jones about Bella Kirkwood. Ms Jones is described as a writer of Christian fiction and teaches high school. I loved the first book and eagerly looked forward to this one. The first book had minor references, in my opinion, to religion. This one had much more. It wasn't over the top, but there was definitely more. Both of the books have mystery and intrigue as well as teenage angst. I was skeptical about how she would handle the wrestling/reality TV show idea and found it was done pretty well. The mystery and how it would be resolved took a few unexpected turns which made you want to keep reading to see how it resolved. There will be a 3rd book in the Charmed Life Series, So Over My Head. It is due out May 2010, which will be a very long wait! These books are set in a high school in Oklahoma so the target audience would be teenage girls. I taught high school for over 22 years and, even though I have long passed my teenage years, I really enjoyed the two books in the series and will read the third when it comes out.
