The Widow’s Island series is written alternately by Kendra Eliot and Melinda Leigh. Each book in the series are short, novella length. I would read them in order due to the personal relationships. In previous books, Cate is an FBI agent who is injured and comes back to the island to stay with her grandma […]
The Detective Jane Phillips series continues to evolve. Jane has been on leave for months with her new boyfriend Adam. Now she and Adam are going back to work and have to figure out how to navigate work life balance with critical, demanding jobs. Jane still has her boss, Carter, to deal with all the […]
I was curious to learn about this debut novel in The Unorthodox Chronicles series from Jim Butcher’s son, James. I found it a worthwhile read, although like any new world I had to assimilate the parameters. I was initially uncertain who the main character would be, but it is clear in the blurb. Grimsby is […]
After already having read this author before, I was excited when I came across this latest historical mystery set in Victorian Era London with a lower class Irish police detective up against his shadowed past and investigating a horrific disaster on the Thames. Blending real history and clever fiction and mystery, Karen Odden has released […]
I read the trilogy which started the Kingmaker Chronicles series. Cat and Griffin were the main characters there. Now we are getting stories from the rest of Team Alpha.

I love science fiction and every time I read it I wonder why I don’t read more of it. I’ve enjoyed this author before so I was happy to read The Spare Man. Not only is it science fiction, set in space, but it is also a murder mystery. The main characters are well suited […]
Set in the world of Laura Ingalls Wilder, this dual timeline story draws in a few minor characters from the Little House world and tells a bittersweet tale that touches four generations of women. I loved the Little House books as a child and have recently picked them up again as an adult so I […]
I was attracted to this book instantly and kept trying to figure out how I could fit it into my schedule. As always, things change and I was happily able to read it. My impression was it was a mystery set in space, which isn’t wrong. But there’s so much more. Station Eternity is told […]
I love this Wrexford & Sloane series so much. The main characters are building a found family with courage, compassion, and cleverness. I am tickled by how clever it is. They support and encourage each other’s strengths and protect each other’s weaknesses. There is plenty of great science, mathematics and art to fill their imaginations. […]
