Christian White is a new-to-me author, and I had no idea what to expect from this story. Lately, I’ve been on a thriller kick, and this one sounded intriguing, so I decided to give it a try. Kimberly Leamy grew up in Australia with her mother, stepfather, and half-sister, living what she believed to be […]
King of Ashes is very much in the style I expect from this author. That doesn’t mean it is predictable, just that it tells a gritty story of what things are really like for some people. Bad people trapping others through fear and intimidation into horrible acts and situations. The Carruthers family includes the father […]
I enjoy a mystery thriller sometimes and this sort where a party on an island gets cut off and then the bodies start dropping is a standard. But the circumstances and characters make it all new. The Bachelorette Party is a group of women in a bridal party going to a retreat on an island. […]
Nora Roberts and January LaVoy are a favorite combination of excellent work. Romantic suspense is a favorite genre with the multiple emotional pulls from the romance and the suspense and thrill of the mystery.

I have never been disappointed by this author. Katherine Center takes me on a journey with realistic characters who are sometimes wonderful, sometimes horrible. While some of the situations may not be believable, the emotions are dead accurate. Katie is a videographer. One of her co-workers got the assignment to film the Coast Guard guy […]
What if those running the Roman Empire were dragon shifters? That is the loose premise of Firebird the first book in of the new series, The Fire that Binds. Juliette Cross has built a new world on the bones of Roman history and their gods. It is a re-imagining where Minerva, goddess of wisdom, justice, […]
Tammy @ Books, Bones & Buffy featured this on one of her future fiction type posts and the concept appealed to me. It’s exactly the kind of themes I love – space scfi, murder mystery, detectives, and technology. Murder by Memory is also a very quick read I did in one go. We meet Dorothy […]
