I saw The Turn of the Key around and knew it was my sort of read. The setting is London and Scotland. The story was suspenseful with the mystery of what happened and also why the other four nannies left. Both mysteries are solved but not without many creepy tangents. The main character, a young […]
The zombie apocalypse according to a crow. Yup, you read that right. Imagine a world where technology-obsessed humans, become drooling incoherent zombies who might be whipped into a frenzy at any moment by a shiny screen or a ringing phone? Nobody saw this coming, especially not S.T., a domesticated crow, and the hero/narrator of this […]
I found this Jimmy Vega Mystery series in a review at a friend’s blog and decided I needed to try it. I’ve been in a full on mystery / suspense/ thriller type binge. Land of Careful Shadows is a police procedural of sorts, but so much more. The main character is Jimmy Vega, a state […]

Read It, Rate It and Record A short review to update challenges I am along for the ride with the Highway 59 series. The characters are very well developed and there is such a range in each one, black, white and all the grays. They are complex and make mistakes, such real people they […]
Gah. It never gets any easier. Alex is busy trying to stay alive and do his “job” on the Council as a junior member. He is working to retrieve artifacts which were stolen from the Vault. He also makes an effort to keep as many alive as he can on either side. But he is […]
Cassie is amazing. I wish I could be her, mostly. She suffered some serious hurts on her 16th birthday which have caused her to shut off emotionally. She is a firefighter because she wants to do good and help people. She is really, really good at work because she devotes herself to it fully. I […]
I admit, I picked up The Thief, the first book in The Queen’s Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner, because Steve West was the narrator. Insert blushing emoji.
