The Parker City Mystery series is set in a medium size Maryland town in the 1980s. Each book seems to have a dual timeline, alternating between the current date and the past. The chapters are clearly labeled as to which period they are. A key aspect of Parker City is the rich history and that is […]
I’m growing to enjoy S.L. Prater and her catalog of books with broken characters and worlds brushed lightly with magic and mysticism. This Haunted Heart’s main characters are both broken by their shared past and the choices made that destroyed them for the last twenty years they spent apart. This second chance romance with ghosts […]

Coven of Ill Repute is the first story in a continuing series that is a little bit detective novel and a little bit gothic romance between a witch and a vampire. This is full of funky happenings in a cursed Castle as Quiet and Rorick try to solve a murder mystery. Quiet and Rorick were […]
Harking back to the days of sparkling madcap Regency romantic comedy, Jessie Lewis’ latest was a highly entertaining romp. The Cad, The Couch, and the Cut Direct is a long novella that was a light and amusing Pride & Prejudice from the start. Fitzwilliam Darcy proposed and Elizabeth Bennet disposed- with such scorching words that […]
I have been waiting for Whitney’s story because she has had the most mysterious situation. Plus I wanted to continue the Carolina Classics series and see what is happening with all the five friends. With Whitney, it could be easy to think poor little rich girl but it’s more complicated than that. Whitney took ill […]
Coming of age during WWII and doing her bit to serve her country far from home, a young woman learns to shake off the shackles she has long worn of grief and guilt over her dad’s stroke and show just how brilliant her mathematical brain can be. I don’t read much Young Adult these days, […]
I’ve been enjoying these Parker City Mystery series books, set in a medium size town in the 1980s mostly. Each book seems to have a dual timeline and so does the fourth book, Black & White. So far, all of the books alternate between the current date and the past. The chapters are clearly […]
