  I read the first book in this series when I was on vacation in Canada this summer. This time, I listened to the audiobook. This is the first time I’ve switched from reading to listening in years. I will admit it took me a bit to get into the story. I think it […]
For me, like so many others, the rise of the smartphone has been both blessing and curse. I’ve been able to streamline many of my everyday tasks, am better able to keep track of appointments and important events, and I have the answers to all of my questions at hand. On the negative side, I […]
Continuing the search for Vlad’s archenemy, the newly married pair are struggling as partners. Vlad’s history makes him overprotective of the one he loves the most and Leila’s history makes her need to be independent and feel like an equal partner even if she’s a newly made vamp swimming in the deep end of the […]
I was thrilled to learn there would be another book in the Amos Decker series.  My friend, Berls and I had read the first six books earlier this year and gave them high marks. Long Shadows feels like a whole new chapter in Amos’ life. Everything felt like a paradigm shift with all of Amos’ […]
  This is a collection of short stories by Joe Hill. I’ve read him before, but this is my first collection of shorts by him. I will admit I did pick this after seeing a trailer for The Black Phone. I didn’t know much about this collection, but I’ve read Joe Hill in the […]
I loved The Life We Bury which was the start of the  Detective Max Rupert series, but he is barely present. I think now it may have been renamed as the start of the Joe Talbert series. Well on Goodreads, it is the start of both series which are intertwined in some parts.  For the […]
I admit, it was the fabulous cover of Boyfriend Material that first caught my eye when browsing audio selections on the eLibrary; almost like a London travel advert. Boyfriend Material, an LGBTQ+ romance, is the first installment in the London Calling series by Alexis Hall. At first glance, it appeared to be a clever take […]
  I dived into this book without much knowledge about the series. I had read this author before with the Jig the Goblin series. I had a really great time with that series and when I needed something to read on vacation, I grabbed this one, I’m really glad I did. I had a […]
This series is in the same world as the Night Huntress series. You can read the Night Prince series without reading the other, but I highly recommend reading Night Huntress first. Many previous characters come to visit Vlad and you can understand their relationships more if you have had the pleasure of reading the other first, but Night Prince can stand on its […]
When I’m in between series or recovering from a book hangover, I’ll re-read old favorites or go to some reliable authors for satisfying standalones. I guess it is kind of like an amuse-bouche for my brain. Nora Roberts is one of my go-to authors for several reasons; the most important of which is that I’ve […]
