Dead Against Her is another great book to the Bree Taggert series. I think the author’s skill in writing has advanced since her earlier series. The layers of things happening make for a more interesting story. Bree has a lot on her plate both professionally and personally. There are murder investigations as expected in […]
Kagen the Damned is the first book in a new Grimdark fantasy series Kagen the Damned and it is dark. Kagen was part of the royal guard, trained by his mother the personal bodyguard to the empress he was supposed to protect the royal children. But the city was invaded while he lay drugged in […]
I loved the Crown of Shards trilogy. As with any urban fantasy or even other types of series, I prefer to read in order and have the full world building and character backgrounds. The first trilogy had the main character of Everleigh Blair, this next trilogy (?) is about Gemma Ripley. Some of the things […]
Some books and series are predictable and draw the reader into their comfort while other books carry the reader along with the force and unpredictability of a ride on a white water river. The Book of the Ice series has been that for me and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I had no […]
Like Mark Lawrence does at the beginning, which I always appreciate as it is a year between books, I will reiterate a few things from previous books. My first experience with Mark Lawrence’s work was with Red Sister, from the Book of the Ancestor trilogy. The Book of the Ice series is set in the […]
A Regency-era subtle Cinderella Retelling captured my attention when I was in the mood for a gently-paced sweet romance. I’ve enjoyed a few other works from the author and I was particularly taken with the middle-aged romance pair and a class difference element. Kenneth Winterton has grown up to the expectation of a country gentry […]
Heroic Hearts is an anthology of stories by some of my favorite authors. Easily, one could read the stories without having read the author’s work before. Of course, if you are familiar with the author’s world and series, it is a further development and additional knowledge. I’ve added an asterisk (*) by the titles […]
A reclusive woman inherits her grandmother’s home- and her secrets. Moving into the house and meeting the startling neighbors is more than upsetting and it might be the catalyst Jen needs to let down her walls and let life in. Edgewater Road is a first in series by a new to me author. I spotted […]
I was very excited to have this anthology of the “rest” of the short stories and novellas which are not in Blood In Her Veins. I love the previous anthology but I wasn’t sure how much I would like Of Claws and Fangs. I knew some of the stories were from special anthologies like Dirty […]
I have been loving this Gaslight Mystery series. I enjoy all the characters but particularly Frank and Sarah. I’m glad they are the primary ones investigating rather than Gino and Maeve. It’s a little sad to see less of their children, Brian and Catherine, and Sarah’s parents but they can’t be involved in every case. […]
