I always enjoy the books by this author. I realize now they have have some similarities. The characters are based in interesting science study or work. The female is talented, smart and has not had good experiences with men. She has focused on her intellectual life more than her emotional one. Sometimes they have good […]
Jeanie narrates the whole story for us in The Lost Kings. She is very odd but she has had many bad shocks in her life. She’s never really had anyone who cared for her or supported her after her mother died.  She ends up with her aunt and uncle, where she lived until her […]
There are many reasons to love reading. Book Lovers has them all. A romance with realistic people and issues make what I call life fiction. I relate to Nora completely. She loves fiercely and selflessly to hold her family together and the memories. She does everything to protect, help and make her sister, Libby happy. […]
Like Mark Lawrence does at the beginning, which I always appreciate as it is a year between books, I will reiterate a few things from previous books. My first experience with Mark Lawrence’s work was with Red Sister, from the Book of the Ancestor trilogy. The Book of the Ice series is set in the […]
The covers in this Dangerous Damsels series are just gorgeous. The covers, plus magic of strong women in a historical setting drew me to read them.  Without being too spoilery, the first story The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels is about pirates. The women are generally more successful and talented, but there are men pirates. […]
The Love Connection is the first of the Airport Novellas.  As a shorter piece, the development is not quite as much as fuller length book. The characters are interesting and I liked them. Ollie (Olivia) runs the pet grooming shop in the airport. She is the business side while her friend, is the groomer.  She […]
The final STEMinist Novellas is Below Zero.  The audios are releasing before the ebooks by 3 months or so. The audio is about half the length of a regular audio.  I still wish these were full length books and we got more development. The past and present timelines are utilized here as in the first […]
Sometimes you just want a good standalone novel. It is nice to know that you can jump into a world and read the story beginning to end in one book.  The Witch’s Heart is not a retelling of any tale I know. It is a new tale steeped in Norse Mythology following the second life of a […]
I’m continuing with the STEMinist Novellas . The audios are releasing before the ebooks by 3 months or so. The audio is about half the length of a regular audio. I did see the pages for this one listed as 312 in one place, which is a full book in my mind. The first book, Under […]
I’ve been reading the Alice Vega series from the beginning. I love the quirky Alice, who is resourceful and smart. Her work puts her up against some tough people and tends to be dangerous. You wouldn’t think this would be true with many of her cases being for missing persons. However, to solve the disappearances […]
