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. Although this series has been around for a long time and is a perennial favorite with middle school librarians, I went in totally blind to this story […]
The Ruin is the first in the Cormac Reilly series and I somehow got it as an Audible freebie. Cormac is a homicide detective in Ireland and has been for 20 years. He has had real success but has just transferred from to a new location because of his girlfriend, Emma’s job. He’s being shunted […]
I met Julia Whelan this August at Book Bonanza in Texas and learned about this audiobook. She is a favorite narrator but I didn’t know she had authored a book as well. My Oxford Year is in that dreaded category called women’s fiction but is more accurately life fiction. This is Ella’s story of personal […]
The Will Trent series, never lets up with its clever plots and personal growth for characters. The character growth is a bit slow at times but we are seeing a snapshot of a few days to a week so that isn’t unreasonable. I just wish Will and Sara could be more settled. They are fully […]

Read It, Rate It and Record A short review to update challenges I continue to love the Guild Codex Spellbound series. The characters are such a joy. There was evil and danger a plenty in Demon Magic and a Martini. It’s near Halloween and Tori is enjoying being part of the Crow & Hammer […]
Read It, Rate It and Record A short review to update challenges When this came to my attention, I knew it was for me. First of all, the narrator is Steve West! I really enjoy Sherlock Holmes style mysteries so that was also a plus. The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes is the start of […]
I feel like every great series has that book where the s**t hits the fan and it feels like nothing can go right for the hero. Burned is that book in the Alex Verus series. In sum, Alex gets his burn notice from the Council of Mages in an emergency session led by […]
