A mysterious woman, a ghostly house, and a serial killer in the past are the research subject for a present-day woman who discovers the deadly secrets from the past have reawakened. Jaime Jo Wright has a gift for dual-timeline suspense. This is only my second visit to her books, but the experience rivaled my first […]
I loved the first book, An Inheritance of Magic so I was excited to read more. Over the past year, Benedict Jacka has done a series of information on the aspects of the magic in this world from the element types, to the Houses, to the skill levels, etc. I read all these before starting […]

I started Red River Road on audio and just felt confused. There are three main characters: Katy, Beth and Wyatt. Wyatt is a child and seems a bit unconnected to the story for most of the book. Katy and Beth seem like unreliable narrators of the story which is not one of my favorite things. […]
Sophia’s Review Her carefully cultivated average, low-risk life has just been toppled when a routine collection case is anything but routine.
