The Pandemic can be blamed for a lot of crazy behavior on our parts. I’ve been spending an inordinate amount of time binge watching TV shows; and quality doesn’t seem to be a factor. There has been the good (Ted Lasso), the bad (Tiger King) and the ugly (2020 election programming). Of course, I love […]
Igniting Darkness is the final book in the duology featuring primarily Sybella and Genevieve, but also Maraud. It is a continuation of the story begun in Courting Darkness, which definitely should be read first. Really the two books make a complete story with the main characters being much the same, and many of the plots unfinished […]
I really enjoyed Some Choose Darkness so I was thrilled to hear there would be more with these characters. Lane and Rory are an interesting couple. Rory is a forensic reconstructionist who uses her unique personal style to connect to details in a case as no one else does. Lane, her partner, is a psychologist […]
I am not embarrassed to admit a well-designed cover is sometimes the deciding factor in my book selection. And no, it’s not always a naked, male torso either. In looking at a list of historical romantic suspense, my attention was captured by the flourishing text and simple silhouettes of A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn. […]
I really enjoy the Life Fiction stories this author is writing. They are more authentic with more details and development of multiple characters than one finds in regular romance titles. But there is often romance in the story also. Always the Last to Know features a family with two daughters. They are authentic and flawed […]
New in the Murderbot Diaries series, we get a full novel!! In Network Effect, Murderbot is still trying to figure out what he should be doing, and what are these …feelings? He also spends too much time in the impossible task of understanding humans. There is hardly any time to binge Sanctuary Moon. All of […]
I saw this Jimmy Vega Mystery series first in a review on Carole’s Random Life in Books blog and had to start it. I was thrilled to keep listening on my own motivation. I have been excited to get each book and could barely stop reading, finishing quickly. The main character, Jimmy Vega, is a […]
I sort of want to read this Cork O’Connor series, and ignore everything else in my life. Recorded Books is rerecording the ones not originally by the primary narrator of the series, David Chandler, which is working out fantastically for me. It’s a great series with layers of interesting plots in the mystery / suspense, […]
I am thrilled that just as I am working my way through the Cork O’Connor series, Recorded Books is rerecording the ones not originally by the primary narrator of the series, David Chandler. I love this series SO much. There is the Minnesota setting, the mystery / suspense aspects of police or private investigation, the […]
I have been desperate to continue with the Cork O’Connor series. So I was ecstatic to see book 7 – Thunder Bay – was being rerecorded by the primary narrator of the series, David Chandler. I love this series SO much. We get the history of Henry Meloux which is fantastic. There are also some […]
