I love mystery thrillers and Xe Sands so this felt like a great fit. Things felt off from the start. Poor Charlotte has always been strong and smart and capable. She is finally happy to be in a marriage where someone can take care of her sometimes and she doesn’t have to worry about having […]
Guild Codex Demonized series is a different aspect of the Guild Codex Spellbound world. I have read the Spellbound series. I would say you can read Demonized without Spellbound first but I wouldn’t. I really prefer to read in order, yes, but there is also background on the world, the guilds and some of the […]
The purpose of Thrifty Thursday is to read a book which was free (at some point). Kindle freebie on January 5, 2019 (currently $3.99 and in Kindle Unlimited as of writing this post) Overall rating 3.74 with 1,693 ratings and 254 reviews I got this free from the author, probably for joining his […]
The books in the Wildstone series don’t seem to have much connection as far as characters or even locations, so you don’t really have to read them in order. There is a romance or two in each, with much more of a life fiction feel. The start is a common one where a lady is […]
“That’s what stories are for, Brin realized. They are magic that aid people in times like this. They provide hope, a light to see by when all others are snuffed out”. As most endings to series, Age of Empyre left me with bittersweet feelings. The final book in the Legends of the First Empire series […]
This is a new feature I developed where each month we will look at our favorite – the best – series in a genre. Narrators have a big impact on how great these series are. In this post, I will be highlighting new-to-me audiobook series I have discovered in the last year. These are series […]
There are some narrators who I like enough to pay attention to an audio book when they are the narrator. Julia Whelan is one of those, so I saw she was the narrator and decided to get this one for review. At the very beginning, I knew what was going to happen as it happened. […]
I definitely like the concept of the Lost Lords of London series, where sons of the gentry were stolen away and presumed dead so others could inherit. In the Dark with the Duke is the second book of the series and follows another boy brought up in the underbelly of London only to find out […]
So I’m a sucker for a British police procedural. Throw in a female team lead and the format being an audiobook, and you have serious interest from me. Deadly Silence follows a serial killer case. The killer is fast-paced and brutal. Our point of view is Jane Phillips who is leading her old team, but […]
I started listening to The Lies That Bind at about 6 pm when I went out to pull weeds, and continued to listen, finishing the book at 3am. The story is more life fiction than thriller. There is a progression for Cecily who has to learn what she really wants, how to build a relationship […]
