I have read another series by this author and somehow didn’t pay very much attention to the blurb, thinking this would be a police procedural. The Village is much more a psychological suspense. Naomi, as a crime journalist, wants to know what happened to a family and buys the home where they disappeared. Her new […]
Marissa Meyer is the Queen of fairytale re-imaginings and I have loved her since first picking up the Lunar Chronicles years ago. Gilded is the first book in The Gilded series which is currently set to be a duology completely re-imagining the lore for the Rumpelstiltskin tale. I wasn’t as excited for this book as […]
Evershore is the third novella in the Skyward series and even though it is listed as 3.1 all the events in it happen before book 3 chronologically so I would read it then. Jorgen, call sign Jerkface, has so many new challenges ahead of him. With the disappearance of Cob he is on a rescue […]
Jill Shalvis never fails to write a story which is heartwarming, with characters I am wanting to grow and succeed. They are often holding themselves back from any relationships either to not get hurt again or because they are guilty and feel they don’t deserve love. Jane is definitely in the first camp, having experienced […]
I loved Before She Disappeared and thought it would make a great series. My wish was granted and One Step Too Far is the second book in the Frankie Elkin series. Lisa Gardner has long been an author I have enjoyed and I am thrilled with this new series. Here’s what I had to say […]
One of my readers recommended this author and a different series of theirs. PJ Tracy is actually a mother-daughter team, but it looks like now the daughter is the one writing this newer Detective Margaret Nolan series. When I saw Desolation Canyon, it was only the second in the series. I grabbed the first book […]
Like most compilations I liked some of the stories and then others just weren’t really for me. I love romantic tropes, like most readers I totally have my favorites like friends to lovers, marrying a stranger and then falling in love, enemies to lovers…and the list goes on. I was hoping for ten different romantics […]
I am continuing with the Georgina Kincaid series and also buddy reading it with Berls at Because Reading. The way the world knowledge is unfolding is a bit slow. We continue to see Georgina at her day job as assistant manager at the bookstore in Seattle. She also is continuing a relationship with Seth, her […]
It was so good to get back to the Inspector Lynley series which I started nearly 30 years ago. I’ve mostly read them but I’ve listened to the last few. The narrators are exceptional and Simon Vance does well with Something to Hide. I had a bit of trouble with the very start when all the […]
I tried this author’s work for the North Carolina settings. The books I have read are historical fiction and deal with the aspects of racism and mistreatment of minorities, including women. The characters are well developed whether they are compassionate and caring or angry bigots. I was in suspense as I waited to see what […]
