Bad Day Breaking was a bad day for many people. There was so much hate and evil happening. Heidi as sheriff has too much on her plate. Her mother-in-law, a insubordinate, litigious deputy, a cult, paroles who are back to crime, and a hate group. She makes a few bad choices which spiral into lots […]
Nothing like the gift of a cruise to send four older female assassins out in style, especially since the company has decided that only a deadly termination of their employment will do. Deanna Raybourn has written some sparkling historical mysteries, but this dive into a modern day thriller with senior citizen protagonists grabbed my fancy […]
Now we come to the final book in the Jane Yellowrock series. The style of Final Heir felt very different to me. As usual, the point of view is Jane’s with her thoughts and where she is and what she sees. Because she is now often in a more political role, directing things, and being […]
The Unbalanced Equation is a standalone book being billed for fans of The Hating Game and The Love Hypothesis. I wanted to love this book and I had extremely high hopes for it especially since I’m a huge fan of stories of women in STEM. Sometimes I’ve found you just don’t like characters which taints […]
I really wanted to try this one because of who the author is. The narrator being a favorite tipped me into trying the audio. Rules of Engagement looked to be just the kind of romantic suspense I enjoy. There is a complex set of layers in this world and in these characters. The main setting […]

I chose the Mercy Thompson series for the Read-along in 2020 and it was an amazing reread for me. With complex plots and mysteries, along with many great characters it was helpful to read from the beginning, all the books close together rather than a year apart. In 2021, we had a book in the […]
The enemy of my enemy is… well, not her friend, but she’s blackmailed into a job for the Pinkertons all the same and the disapproving man beside her is just an added attraction, erm, nuisance. As the third in a series about strong, courageous women set in the post-civil war era from an African American […]
