I was in the mood for a good suspense/thriller story and there are several Karin Slaughter stand alone stories I haven’t tackled yet, so I just grabbed one at random. I very rarely read the blurb on a book. I like going in blind. So it was a bit of a shock that this story […]
I’m so excited to talk about One Foot in the Grave, in general, I love the second book in a series! Second books are where often learn deep dark backstories and they often have some great action because the main characters are already set up. This book is no exception! SPOILER ALERT! I’m probably going to do […]
Meet our heroine, Catherine Kathleen Crawfield – she’s 22, a college student, lives with her mom and grandparents in Licking Falls, Ohio (that town’s name you guys) – oh and she is a half-vampire, half-human. Her mom was date raped by a “young” vampire and Cat was the result. When she was sixteen, her mother […]
It is a brand new year and what better way to start it off than to indulge in a few of my favorite things all rolled up in one book. Geekerella is a modern day Cinderella story with a few new twists to the pumpkin, how our couple meets and some of the challenges they […]
I chose this series after a poll and discussions with my team and several friends. These are mostly available at both of my libraries, in both ebook and audio formats. I read about half of this series, about 10 years ago. I loved it and want to reread plus finish up. You will have a […]

‘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 […]
