I have enjoyed everything I have read from C.L. Polk. There are often diverse characters and a romance. The goals of the characters are often inspirational. In The Feywild Job, the characters are not so favorable, they are con artists. Saeldian is a con artist with a current partner Julie whose family has a big […]
You know when you love an author and they try something a little new and you are really excited for it on one hand, but then on the other you just want to read the stuff you know you already love. Songs of the Dead, the first book in The Strata Wars, was a book […]
I needed to figure out a way to start reading series where I am not current or the series is finished but haven’t read them yet. So it’s a way to commit myself to read my backlist, particularly series. Another police procedural series is the Rizzoli & Isles I want to read. I […]
At first I thought perhaps I was not smart enough to understand this story. I have wanted to read this author for awhile. After I got into the characters and plot though, I was fine. It is detailed with quite a few characters and groups so I need to focus more and multitask less. In […]

Join Kate Willis, psychologist, consultant and skeptic on her journey to deal with a secret from her past in the form a little girl […]

Perfect Vengeance isn’t what I expected. It doesn’t have any K9 characters! It is still based somewhat on Federal law enforcement, the FBI. Gina and her friends are robbing from drug mobsters to pay for domestic violence victims to start new lives. Gina lost her father to this mob family when she was a teen […]
Catch and Kill is the first book in the Neon Meridian, a new series set in the same world as Schaefer’s Harmony Black and Daniel Faust series. A little more on the cyberpunk side of urban fantasy Catch and Kill is set in a world aware of the magic in it. Having witches, demons and […]
