🎧 Cold as Hell by Kelley Armstrong @KelleyArmstrong @kelleyarmstrong.bsky.social #TheresePlummer @macmillanaudio.bsky.social @MinotaurBooks @stmartinspress.bsky.social @MacmillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks

I love this Rockton series, now Haven’s Rock series which is a spin-off as well as a direct continuation of the previous series. I personally would start with the previous series because of the background and character development but also because it is amazing! Haven’s Rock is a new town with Casey and Eric along […]

🎧 Nemesis by Gregg Hurwitz @gregghurwitzbooks.bsky.social @ScottBrick @macmillanaudio.bsky.social @stmartinspress.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks @GreggHurwitz @MinotaurBooks @StMartinsPress @MacmillanAudio

I LOVE the Orphan X series. I recommend reading from the beginning, in order, for the character and world developments. Evan has grown and become more personable throughout the series. He grapples with his Orphan rules and the feelings for people. I worry for him in every book. Evan has some real issues with […]

Chain Reaction by James Byrne @JByrnemystery @MinotaurBooks @stmartinspress.bsky.social

Dez is an interesting character with a lot of education and skills. He has worked for various governments as a gatekeeper. He is educated in physics and electrical engineering, but also by life’s experiences in various spots around the world. His irreverent attitude is tied up in his own moral code. He sometimes has compassion. […]

She Doesn’t Have a Clue by Jenny Elder Moke @jennyelder @MinotaurBooks @RobinBridgeFour

She Doesn’t Have a Clue isn’t going to be for everyone, but it was definitely for me. Jenny Elder Moke is a new to me author. I really enjoyed the main character, Kate and how messed up she was in a cute way. The murder mystery on an private Island during a wedding weekend was […]

An Insignificant Case by Phillip Margolin @philmargolin @ganimaniac @MinotaurBooks @MacmillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks

I discovered this author earlier this year when I was looking for lawyer series. I LOVED his Robin Lockwood series and hope to continue reading it soon. When I saw this new standalone, I was thrilled to read it. The main character Charlie Webb is a regular, good guy. He’s not too smart or too […]

🎧Monstrous Nights by Genoveva Dimova @gen_dimova #ZuraJohnson @TimCampbellVO @MinotaurBooks @MacmillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks

I really enjoyed the first book of this The Witch’s Compendium of Monsters series. I seem to enjoy many Slavic mythology fantasy books. I don’t want to repeat my review of the first book, so I’ll give you a very short recap of the world and characters. I would read these books in order. I […]

The Night Woods by Paula Munier @PaulaSMunier @MinotaurBooks

I enjoyed continuing in the Mercy & Elvis Mysteries series. I know the world and the characters now. In The Night Woods, Mercy is very pregnant and goes walking around the property and its woods. She is skilled, mostly fit, and has Elvis with her but I felt it was a bit ridiculous. She […]

🎧 Red River Road by Anna Downes @whatannawrote @MaddyWithington @MinotaurBooks @MacmillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks

I started Red River Road on audio and just felt confused. There are three main characters: Katy, Beth and Wyatt. Wyatt is a child and seems a bit unconnected to the story for most of the book. Katy and Beth seem like unreliable narrators of the story which is not one of my favorite things. […]

Double review: Serial Killer Guide to San Francisco by Michelle Chouinard #MichelleChouinard @SNemethParker @MinotaurBooks @MacmillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks @sophiarose1816

Anne’s Review I loved this! I am so glad I was able to squeeze this one into the schedule. The Serial Killer’s Guide to San Francisco was very smart, fun and easy to read. Our main point of view and teller of the story is Capri. She is a divorced mother of a graduate student […]

Gone for Good by Joanna Schaffhausen @slipperywhisper @MinotaurBooks @AudiobookMel

This is the first book in the Detective Annalisa Vega series by Joanna Schaffhausen. I’ve never read a book by this author. I don’t remember how I found her. But it was one of the ebooks I downloaded from the library before my vacation in July. I’m a huge fan of Karin Slaughter’s Will Trent […]
