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 am excited to participate in Anne’s Read-along again this year. I listened to the Night Huntress books back circa 2015 and enjoyed them. Eternal Kiss of Darkness is one of two standalone romances that feature supporting characters and an HEA. I enjoyed my re-read tremendously, and found my original thoughts on the book hold up. Eternal Kiss of […]
After the last book with a hunt for the Black Tulip and two darker characters as protagonists, what comes next? I was curious about the next pair and what particular espionage challenge they would face. I tried to keep my expectations open since the author delightfully changes things up with each new book. The Temptation […]
Americans flocked to National Parks in record numbers during 2021. I used literary escapism to visit the wide expanse of the Rocky Mountain West. Anyone else unable to make the journey in person might do the same, courtesy of C.J. Box’s Joe Pickett series. Open Season is the first in the mystery/thriller series, where we […]
Though I love that the Night Huntress world is expanding, I struggled a lot with this book. Spade is perfection, but Denise annoyed me for at least a third of this book. Her and Cat are alike in that they obviously never saw a horror movie in their life and the ability to risk […]
Brandon Sanderson is one of the best known authors of modern fantasy.  The largest Kickstarter of all time is not a beverage cooler or a smart watch, but to fund the publication of four secret novels he wrote during quarantine.* He has a massive bibliography of original work as well as work he’s completed on […]
The action in Destined for an Early Grave by Jeaniene Frost was jam packed from the minute it started. I was in love with this story. It was my favorite in the series so far. I buddy read this book with Anne, whose blog you are reading this on, and Lillian from Mom with a […]
When I find an author I enjoy, I’ll binge read all of their books no matter the subject. While doing so, I’ve discovered some decent stories, some duds, and from time-to-time, an unexpected gem. Until It Fades by K.A. Tucker is one of those gems.  Much more than a contemporary romance, Until It Fades explores […]
I frequently rely on book friends and blogs when looking for new books to read. I occasionally consult lists on Goodreads, author newsletters, or the ‘Customers Also Search’ section of books I’ve purchased from online retailers. However, I never thought I’d write these words, but this book recommendation comes courtesy of TikTok. I usually avoid […]
I’m so excited to talk about One Foot in the Grave, in general, I love the second book in a series! Second books are where often learn deep dark backstories and they often have some great action because the main characters are already set up. This book is no exception! SPOILER ALERT! I’m probably going to do […]
