I frequently rely on book friends and blogs when looking for new books to read. I occasionally consult lists on Goodreads, author newsletters, or the ‘Customers Also Search’ section of books I’ve purchased from online retailers. However, I never thought I’d write these words, but this book recommendation comes courtesy of TikTok. I usually avoid […]
I read the first book in the Parker City Mystery series and suffered a bit of first book syndrome where I am settling into the world and characters being developed. I was not helped by the scenes going back and forth in time from Ben & Tommy’s first case to the present when Tommy is […]
After recently reading the first in the series, The Secret History of the Pink Carnation, The Masque of the Black Tulip dove right back into the contemporary plot line and then introduced the historical plot line shortly after. Like any good series worth its salt, the second book can tell a lot about how it […]
I am really enjoying the Charles Jenkins series, which begins with The Eighth Sister, which was a heart-stopping fire hose of action and life-or-death danger. Charles Jenkins is unusual in that he is older, in his 60s, and left the CIA 40 years ago. He has a young son and a newborn daughter. I think […]

Alice has been on a journey to find her husband, taken by the Crossroads over fifty years ago. It is her obsession and if all she finds is a […]
Will and Kim are enjoying the calm after their last big adventure bringing down the Zodiac criminal organization. However, it’s the calm before the storm and what a storm it is. KJ Charles writes a wonderful blend of gay romance, history, mystery, and adventure in this post-WWI era series. Subtle Blood is the third book […]

I’ve read this author before and always though I would like to read this Nightside series. When I saw Something from the Nightside on audio, I wanted immediately to try it. It’s like a paranormal detective series. The feeling is historical and a bit noir with the detective working for the rich lady. The audio […]
I was in the mood for a good suspense/thriller story and there are several Karin Slaughter stand alone stories I haven’t tackled yet, so I just grabbed one at random. I very rarely read the blurb on a book. I like going in blind. So it was a bit of a shock that this story […]
If you enjoy this author’s other series, you will enjoy Hunt the Stars. I was thrilled to start the Starlight’s Shadow series. While the overall story arc might be urban fantasy style, there is a new couple in each book. It feels like fantasy romance. The situations are very much military, space opera with […]
