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 […]
Books about assassins can be interesting especially when they go after bad guys. There are some who know all about their target, the mission and why they need to die. Then there are those who know nothing except who to kill. Nadia has been an assassin most of her life. She also happens to be […]
Prince of Storms concludes the duology series Born to Sea and Storm, featuring a thruple between the God of Love, the Kraken and a newly born Sea Nymph. While this is supposed to be a stand along set of books, I really believe to get the full context and enjoy it, you need to have […]
The National Park Mystery series continues to improve as it goes along. I still enjoy the park settings, the mysteries, the archeology and the family growth and character development. These last two installments also have timely topics which are very relevant.

Townsend Harbor offers […]
I am always thrilled to have more in the DC Smith series. I don’t suppose one would have to read them in order but there is a lot of history, personal growth, and world building one would miss. Some Sort of Justice, in particular, it would be important to read The Late Lord Thorpe first, as […]
Dear Anne, I am writing to tell you how wonderful it is to have a blog full of book recommendations that never let me down. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, KC Maley While not as eloquent, I suppose that was inspired by Virginia Evans’ debut novel, The Correspondent; a masterfully executed, emotionally devastating, and […]
My favorite genre in historical is mysteries and I am so pleased Karen Odden invited me to read her latest, An Artful Dodge. Â (The ebook has a character list at the start, with no info similar in the audio, which was helpful for spelling and clear definition of relationships.) The story follows a talented young […]
