Once again, Cami has written a great story that pulls the reader into a wonderful world. There was just enough suspense and drama in Blog This to make me want to just keep reading and reading. And while it deals with a serious topic, children's violent behavior because of violent video games, the story is not preachy or political. It is a story of one woman, Natasha, trying to take down the 'bad guys' and using her blog to make her point.

When the 'bad guys' decide that Natasha and her blog need to be stopped, the excitement starts. It actually starts in the very first chapter when a hit man comes to Natasha's house to kill her. What a way to get sucked into the story! Whew!

I thoroughly enjoy reading Cami's stories. They are always so easy to read and get lost in. Her stories are very down to earth, her characters are very likable and real, and the words just seem to flow off the pages and into my imagination. I love when that happens and I love it when I can find a story that captures me so much that I never want it to end. Blog This did that for me!

Here are some of the great lines I loved ~~

'I can't ignore the problem again.'

"You need to tell these moms the truth," she said. "Tell them who you are and why you are doing this. Inspire them in your own way." Ivy leaned close to him. "Or give up your dream."

"The conspiracy started as a scheme to make some extra money" Natasha continued, "but I started to believe it."

Don't these lines sound intriguing? Don't they make you want to read Blog This?

Surprisingly, I liked this book a lot more than I originally thought I would!

I had kind of a mixed reaction to this book. On one hand, it was a unique, exciting, and fast-paced storyline. I liked the main character, Natasha, and her fierce protectiveness for her children as well as her strong desire to stand up against evil. Her best friend was a hoot and added some fun humor to the story.
On the other hand, however, I was conflicted about the relationships Natasha had with each of the three men in the story. None of them really felt realistic to me. The villain, Alex, was pretty terrifying so it was hard to accept some of her reactions to him. Her ex-husband was frustrating to me and the detective seemed to overstep professional bounds a bit. It also seemed like Alex’s ability to thwart the police at every turn was a bit unrealistic. But the story was pretty non-stop action and I’m intrigued to see what happens with several of the characters in the next book!
I received an e-book version of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I started this book last night and finished it this morning - could not put it down! It was clean and suspenseful (my favorite kind of book). The characters were for the most part believable and the plot moved quickly. I didn't buy into how easily the main character started giving her attacker the benefit of the doubt (hence 4 stars instead of 5), that just didn't ring true to me. But, I enjoyed the rest of the book. I was looking for a book that made me want to stay up all night reading and this book fit the bill.
