I really liked the Skeets Family trilogy. However, there were a few problems that lessened the enjoyment of the read. I found it very odd that Misty didn't want the police to kill Leonard, but had no problem with him starving  to death, cold and alone, locked up with his dead mother. Also can't imagine how she could've known she was pregnant within days of conceiving. Of course, in the third book a character claims the whole town knew Misty was pregnant when she left there, so perhaps we're looking at some kind of mass precognition. If so, that could've been explained better. Or, well, you know,...at all. Also bugged me that several times, people looked "questionably" at others when they should've been looking questioningly at them. Lottie drove "determinably" when she should've driven determinedly,and I don't think that word would've even been the best choice. There were other examples, but no need to beat it to death. Probably still should've given it 5 stars, since I was actually moved to buy the second and third books after I got the first one free, and I almost never do that.
