Title: Down the Rabbit Hole: the Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny
Author: Holly Madison
Holly Madison discusses her beginnings in Playboy and her experience living in the mansion. She regrets her decisions and said it was a tumultuous lifestyle and was surrounded by unsavory individuals and situations. Fans of the reality show Girls Next Door would like this book, as well as those who are just plain curious. After reading this I would also recommend Bunny Tales by Izabella St. James, as it is very similar with more details.

14th Deadly Sin
Title: 14th Deadly Sin
Author: James Patterson
Latest in the Women's Murder Club series. Women are being murdered in broad daylight. As the case progresses, it becomes clear that the cops are involved. The book has the usual twists and turns and suspense. What I like most about this series of James Patterson's books is that aside from the mystery, it continues with the personal life of the four women in the Women's Murder Club as the series of books goes along.
