Make A Wish is the third book of the Spark House series following one of three sisters as she tries to find her place in the family business while also navigating a new relationship with a the widowed father she nannied for eight years before. It is a cute story and can be read as […]
I’ve been enjoying the Aaron Falk series with the Australian cultural aspects along with an odd sort of police procedural. Falk is a federal police for financial cases. He works in Melbourne. But all of the cases in the series are when he is out visiting in the region where he grew up. The series […]
Psychological thrillers can be tricky for me to read. Sometimes I don’t like the characters, an unreliable narrator or a lack of closure at the end.  I do tend to enjoy the more realistic feelings and actions which are portrayed but not always the ambiguity. Friends have really liked this author so I decided to […]
When I’m in between series or recovering from a book hangover, I’ll re-read old favorites or go to some reliable authors for satisfying standalones. I guess it is kind of like an amuse-bouche for my brain. Nora Roberts is one of my go-to authors for several reasons; the most important of which is that I’ve […]
The Bodyguard is only the third book I have read by Katherine Center but I have been trying to get to more of her backlist. I had so much fun with Hannah and Jack. Hannah is a consumate and talented professional. Personally, she’s a mess. It’s not the same old story of a career woman […]

Our Crooked Hearts is a bit of a mind f-(you can guess the rest of that word). Ivy is a teenage girl with a strange mother, who at times is a bit scary. She is strange and does and says weird things that normal people just don’t. When a girl ends up running out of […]
I am still not over my desire for thrillers written with the great outdoors as the backdrop. After I finished my review for last month, I was forced to find another series to feed this obsession. There are a few that sparked my interest, but none more than the Anna Pigeon novels written by Nevada […]
I’ve been enjoying this Maggie D’arcy series as it has layers of plot. Maggie is a homicide detective in NY at the start of the series but she visits Ireland to try to find out what happened to her cousin. Her family has a rich history with Ireland, and runs an Irish bar on Long […]
Ordinary Monsters is the first book in the The Talents trilogy. Talents are people born with some special ability. Some can heal, others manipulate dust, one can animate items into a being, an invisible girl and then there are those that can make their bodies extremely dense and strong to not be hurt. The concept […]
