Lipstick Voodoo by Kristi Charish @kristicharish @vintagebooks @penguinrandom

Lipstick Voodoo by Kristi Charish @kristicharish @vintagebooks @penguinrandom

With the world and characters established, I enjoyed this second book in the Kincaid Strange series even more than The Voodoo Killings.  I feel Kincaid is still so alone.  No one, even her friends, seem to help her.  Throughout Lipstick Voodoo, I  worried who would hurt her or betray her. She seems to constantly have […]

Series on Saturday:  Female Detectives’ Mystery @SaraParetsky @MargaretMaron ‏@JAJance @KelleyArmstrong #SueGrafton ‏#MarciaMuller  #Giveaway

This is a new feature I developed where each month we will look at our favorite – the best – series in a genre. The genre here, by my definition,  is mystery series with Female main characters. These are some of my favorite long-running series.  Since I haven’t read everything, it’s a subset of the […]

Second Grave on the Left by Darynda Jones @Darynda ‏@StMartinsPress @MacmillanAudio

While my review schedule was full, I couldn’t resist getting into this Reread Tour. I love these books. It was fun to go back to Second Grave on the Left, which is at the beginning of the Charley Davidson series. Charley is our gateway to the world. Her observations are often hilarious.  I often laugh […]

The Voodoo Killings by Kristi Charish @kristicharish @vintagebooks @penguinrandom

I was so pleased to be invited to read this Kincaid Strange series.   It’s urban fantasy which is a favorite. I’ve always heard good things about this author. The whole voodoo / raising zombies theme seemed perfect for the autumn and Halloween time frame. Kincaid Strange is really alone. She has some co-workers and ex-colleagues, […]

This is a new feature I developed where each month we will look at our favorite – the best – series in a genre. The genre here, by my definition,  is series about Witches or Wizards. It seemed like a good precursor to Halloween.  Magic is one of my absolute favorites when it comes to […]

Reread Tour: You Belong to Me by Karen Rose @KarenRoseBooks ‏ @BerkleyRomance  @BerkleyPub

I chose You Belong to Me as my reread book because it is the start of the Baltimore stories. It introduces the world here and builds a solid base of the characters, and many couples for the next books.  I love all the cities in the  Romantic Suspense series.  Since I just read Death is Not […]

🎧  Hot Winter Nights by Jill Shalvis @JillShalvis  @VLeheny  @HarperAudio @avonbooks ‏

Everything Jill Shalvis writes is my favorite. The entire Heartbreaker Bay series is excellent.  This couple is a special one. They both have had past hurts and aren’t really interested in giving their hearts again.   Molly is fiesty and smart and independent.  I love that. I do wish she could have been a little nicer […]

Kill the Queen by Jennifer Estep @Jennifer_Estep ‏ @HarperVoyagerUS @LetsTalkLTP

I was happy to join this blog tour from the beginning, as I had been interested the Kill the Queen since I first read the blurb. I’m still happy; it’s a great book!  I love the way Evie developed her skills of reading people and knowing their foibles throughout her whole life. With her parents […]

Phoenix Unbound by Grace Draven @GraceDraven @AceRocBooks @nyliterary @BerkleyPub

I wanted to read Phoenix Unbound from the first I heard about it. The fantasy romance genre made me surprised by how grim dark it was. It felt much more heavy on fantasy with little focus on the romance. I read fantasy so this didn’t bother me, especially with the well-developed characters and the rich […]
