The Jo Wyatt Mystery series continues with Mercy Creek. Many things I said about the first book are still true. I like Jo Wyatt. She has the qualities of being smart and compassionate. She’s been on the force 12 years and there have only been 2 homicides; these two books have seen a bunch more. They […]
A shrewd, successful businesswoman finds herself caught between duty to a beloved parent and desire for a man in the rival company in this lush, sexy upscale work romance. I’ve loved each encounter with this author’s books from the engaging plots, to the well-drawn characters, and her sensual romances so it was with eagerness I […]
I continued with the third book in the Guild Codex Warped. The overall story arc is connected and like most urban fantasy, I would read them in order. This one is somewhere in the middle of the Demonized series and before Spellbound ends also, in the overall Guild Codex Universe. It shows up as book […]
T. Kingfisher is one of my new favorite author finds this year and so far it doesn’t matter if it is Young Adult, Middle-Grade (like this book is) or a PG-13 Fantasy book all of them have been fantastic so far. A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking is no exception. It is a standalone book […]
After sticking to her conservative no-frills life plan all her life, getting a nudge from her folks to live a little on the romantic front and a hard shove out the door from her employer sees a woman chucking the life plan and living a little. I’ve seen this author’s books before and thought they […]
Crime Fiction is a recent addition to my reading obsession. I’ve read my fair share of Romantic Suspense, Period/Historical Mystery, and Cozies; and absolutely love a good intrigue in books to keep me guessing until the end of the story. Until this point, I haven’t ever been drawn to the grit and reality of Crime […]
I am delighted with this next adventure of the Thursday Murder Club series. The setting in England and the beloved characters are positives. This close-knit group of seniors do excellent work in using their long experience with people in solving murders. They do have the help of friends, and Elizabeth’s MI5 contacts and their police […]
Difficult Neighbours is the seventh book in The Order series by A.C. Donaubauer. It is a fun fantasy series that follows mostly Eryn and Enric. They split their time between two countries, Anyueel, where Enric is from and where Eryn was raised, and Takhan, where Eryn’s family is from and still lives. They are very […]
I wanted to read When the Ghosts Come Home as soon as I read the blurb. I enjoy police procedurals and it is set in North Carolina plus a father / daughter dynamic. It was not what I expected and heartbreaking. I liked Sheriff Winston Barnes. He had a level-headed and hard-working way. The crimes […]
Twist of Fate is the second book in the gothic romance series A Stitch in Time. Rosalind Courtenay left for a ride on her horse one night and was presumed dead. No one has seen her in 5 years. Nothing could be farther from the truth; she is alive and well and accidentally living in […]
