Wayward is the sequel to The Wanderers. They are both long books, covering a pandemic, white nationalism, artificial intelligence and other timely social issues which were not as prevalent at the time the books were written. For me, it was the combination of a good story with many issues to consider from different perspectives. It’s […]
Emily Henry and Julia Whelan are an author/ narrator combination that I really enjoy. Happy Place gives us a long term couple where each loves the other, maybe more than themself. There is also the insecurity of not being enough for the other person. These feelings are based on both family and personal history. We […]
I still love the covers in this Dangerous Damsels series. There are connections between books in the series so I would read them in order. Plus you gain a much better understanding of pirates, and witches. I really appreciate the magic of strong women in a historical setting. The plots are rather ridiculous, but the […]
The Love Wager starts with a wedding. I didn’t realize it until much later in the book, but it’s the couple from the first book Mr. Wrong Number, Olivia and Colin. They are barely mentioned as this book is about Olivia’s brother Jack. I really enjoyed the humor in Mr. Wrong Number so I was […]
The Queen’s Price by Anne Bishop is the 12th book in The Black Jewels series. The original trilogy of this series is still my favorite, just be warned it probably includes just about any trigger you could possibly have. The rest of the books set in this world I’ve still enjoyed very much, some more […]
Everything at this point is a spoiler for earlier books in the Lady Sherlock series. I would read this series in order because the complexity of the characters and relationships which are just as important as the particular cases. In Miss Moriarty, I Presume? Charlotte ends up faking her death to throw Moriarty off her […]
Nothing like a remote location, work trip to be conducive to murder. I knew when Emily had people breaking into her house and office, that she should be more careful. Pretty quickly, it was clear someone was after her based on her husband’s work and patents he could have. I even knew who it was […]
I considered The House in the Pines for many months before I decided to read it. I had the choice of ebook or audio and I’m glad I chose audio. The main character Maya is a bit of an unreliable narrator which contributed to how I felt about it. I didn’t like her very well […]
Westward the Tide has the distinction of being Louis L’Amour’s first full-length novel. Everything he wrote previously was published as short stories or serials in magazines. And, oddly, it was released in the UK first and didn’t publish in the US until 1977. Traversing parts of the Dakotas, Montana, and Wyoming of the 1870’s, this […]
