The Hope Chest is a smidgen outside my normal reading genres. There are no fae or dragons, far off lands or epic quests to undertake but sometimes a story about going home can really just hit the spot. Three cousins spent two weeks each summer at their grandmother’s house. For all three, they were the […]
I was excited to read Six Weeks to Live with its family drama and mystery. The mother, Jennifer, quickly finds some irregularities in her tests and realizes she may have been poisoned. She spends lots of time figuring out who it might have been and how they might have done it. It was easy to […]
White as Frost is the first book in The Darkwood trilogy which feels a little like a retelling of Snow White in some ways mixed in with magic and the fae. This is young adult and I say that because when I first started reading I thought Rose was a little older. In my head […]
I was excited to have a new series, Windsor Horne Lockwood III about Win. I really enjoy this author and everything he writes. I’ve always been curious and favorable to Win because he was devoted to Myron. He has some strange ways of living and choices. However, he has money which allows him a LOT […]
I always want to read this author’s work. The Soulmate Equation had some very interesting aspects with statistics and science. I couldn’t not read this; it sounded so compelling to me. I love the vulnerability and heart in this author’s books and the humor. Jess is awesome. She is there for everyone (except herself) and […]
I have read and loved the V.I. Warshawski series for a looooong time, since it started in 1982! Each book is another case, so you could read them out of order but I wouldn’t. I enjoy the progression of the characters and they are all great to read. Love & Other Crimes is different, an […]
I really enjoy the Life Fiction stories this author is writing. They are more authentic with more details and development of multiple characters than one finds in regular romance titles. But there is often romance in the story also. Always the Last to Know features a family with two daughters. They are authentic and flawed […]
I was thrilled to continue with The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes Mysteries series. I love Sherlock Holmes style mysteries, and the setting in England. Even if I didn’t, this is narrated by STEVE WEST. There have been a number of art vandalisms and break-ins. The Watson family is on the case. There were plenty of […]
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 […]
