‘All skate, change directions.’ ‘Just Say No.’ ‘Gag me with a spoon.’ If you know what these sayings mean, or better yet, if you’ve actually heard them used not-ironically, I invite you to flash back to the eighties by reading My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix. This is a nostalgia-filled horror novel, which sounds […]
I listened to Gone to Dust after seeing it as an Audible daily deal and have continued with the Nils Shapiro series . I really enjoyed the Minnesota setting since so much is familiar, having lived there for many years. Dead West, the fourth book in the series, is a whole different feel as it […]
I found this Jimmy Vega Mystery series in a review at a friend’s blog and decided I needed to try it. I’ve been in a full on mystery / suspense/ thriller type binge. Land of Careful Shadows is a police procedural of sorts, but so much more. The main character is Jimmy Vega, a state […]
Read It, Rate It and Record A short review to update challenges I read my first book by this author this summer and it was insta-love! I just bought The Good Daughter at Audible and saw this prequel was available at the library and couldn’t resist. Last Breath was a great introduction to the […]

The Will Trent series, never lets up with its clever plots and personal growth for characters. The character growth is a bit slow at times but we are seeing a snapshot of a few days to a week so that isn’t unreasonable. I just wish Will and Sara could be more settled. They are fully […]
Continuing with the Will Trent series , I am always excited and thrilled to listen to the next one. They just seem to get better and better. You want to read this series in order because of the personal growth and development of the characters and world. Unseen brings us back to Grant County and […]
I also grabbed the two novellas in the Will Trent series, from the library. I was lucky they were available immediately. These were short cases with Will being the primary character. He had minimal contact with Amanda, Faith and Sara. They were narrated by Kathleen Early, though. Other than minor details, they could fit in […]
