There Should Have Been Eight by Nalini Singh @NaliniSingh @BerkleyRomance @BerkleyPub

I really enjoy this author and the different series and now standalone books she writes.  Nalini Singh brings a lot of diversity and highlights settings in a part of the world I don’t know.  There are slight cultural aspects which are not in my region.   I would call this a psychological thriller having read it […]

Veronica Speedwell is a dashing lepidopterist and sometimes crime-fighting sleuth in Victorian England.  She is one of my favorite all time heroines, even when she behaves badly or won’t own up to her feelings.  In A Dangerous Collaboration, the fifth installment in the the Veronica Speedwell Mystery series by Deanna Raybourn, the intrepid Veronica finds herself […]

Blood Betrayal by Ausma Zehanat Khan @ausmazehanat @MinotaurBooks

Blood Betrayal by Ausma Zehanat Khan @ausmazehanat @MinotaurBooks

I continued in the Blackwater Falls series.  The town of that name is a smaller community not far from Denver.  It seems to be a real melting pot with Mexicans (Catholics), black refugees from Somalia,  and Muslims from several Middle Eastern and Asian locations. The focus centers around the team of Community Response officers who […]

I was thrilled to continue with the Midsolar Murders.   The characters and world had a good foundation laid in the first book Station Eternity which is where Mallory and Xan and several aliens live. The station itself is sentient, bonded now with Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Brown decides to take a trip and leaves Mallory to […]

🎧 Blood Sisters by Vanessa Lillie @vanessalillie #CarolinaHoyos #ErinTripp @BerkleyPub @PRHAudio #LoveAudiobooks

I always enjoy stories with aspects from other cultures and Blood Sisters has some of the Native American history. I didn’t know until the author’s note how much of it is based on a true story. The government and its agencies have been very unfair and even cruel. Syd Walker is an archaeologist with the […]
