I saw FantasticLand on the Audible 2-for-1 deal and decided to give it a chance. While I had never read the author before, I knew both the narrators and really enjoyed them in the past. I liked the dystopian look of the cover and when I read the blurb, I thought the story sounded really […]
The Deep Ops series is romantic suspense with a new couple in each story. The characters and situation are rather over the top, not quite realistic or believable. Although the humor is a bit ridiculous with quirky characters, the violence is gritty. There’s a dog and a cat on the team. Frostbitten highlights Millicent Frost […]
Hunterland is the first book in a new series by the same name. It seems like it is supposed to be a lot like Supernatural, Grim or maybe even the new Nancy Drew. Teenagers hunting supernatural things roll into town with their FBI (not really) father after a few suicides happen in a small town. […]
I liked the characters in The Catch, eventually. At first, they felt like caricatures which were ridiculous, rather than real people, playing roles instead of feeling like banter. As they connected more as people, and talked to each other, it felt less like a performance and more like real life. It also seemed like even […]
I recently started backpacking after being away from the sport for almost 30 years. I did my first section of the Appalachian Trail last summer. I received a lot of advice and opinions on gear, routes, hiking strategies, etc. However, I can’t count the number of times I was asked if I’d read Wild. I […]
After encountering Lia as a minor character in earlier Cassie Palmer series books and as the main character in a few urban fantasy anthology novellas, I was more than primed to see her get her own full-length book. Karen Chance has written some great women action heroines over the years and Lia is one of […]
Rick Riordan (RR) mainly focuses on reading for middle grade, and normally that isn’t my thing with a few exceptions, his work being one of them. I have loved the stories he has mixed teenagers and mythos into like Percy Jackson and the Olympians focused on Greek mythos, The Heroes of Olympus is tied to […]
This is a different kind of post for me. Sound therapy is one of those things I thought was just woo-woo for so many years. But as I get older I like to try new things and this last year, to help deal with stress and life changes I’ve started exploring meditations, breathing exercises and […]
Jeremy Robinson is a new-to-me author. I found this audiobook during one of Audible’s two-for-one sales. I thought the story sounded interesting and I’m a huge fan of Jeffrey Kafer as the narrator. I decided to give this story a try. I’m really glad I did. This story is a fantasy, but it takes a […]
The Detective Kate Young series really takes off at a furious pace, with plenty of emotional angst if you are rooting for Kate. I would definitely read this series in order. Kate has been working on investigating her husband’s death and department corruption. Her mentor, William Chase was helping her but in the previous book […]
