I read the first 4 books in this Widow’s Island series through Kindle Unlimited. They are written alternately by Kendra Eliot and Melinda Leigh. Each book in the series are short, novella length. Below the Bones is by Kendra Elliot and is very short, only a couple of hours. I would not read this without […]
In the Deep is a story told mostly by women. There is not much dialogue; we get mostly the stream of thoughts of the women. Primarily, Mrs. Martin Cresswell-Smith and a senior constable, Lozza Bianchi tell us the story. The Mrs. does not always seem to be a reliable narrator, either. The blurb tells us […]
I was excited for House of Dragons the moment I learned about it. Odd, because I am not always a fan of young adult fantasy. While there is a classification of fantasy romance, the story is not very focused on this aspect. The main character, Kerrigan, is growing up in the House of Dragons. When […]
A dead body, an empty cabin, a mysterious girl, a lone rider, and a gang after a treasure make for a very exciting western adventure. I was looking forward to a tale told alternating between a sixteen year old boy with lots of grit and a hard man with cold gray eyes from two talented […]

I have been loving everything in the Guild Codex Universe which combines all the different series for reading order. A Damsel and a Demigod is a prequel to the Guild Codex Spellbound series. The ebook came out in March and is just over 100 pages. I thought there wouldn’t be an audio, so I read […]
I have enjoyed every book of the Lady Sherlock series but I’ve been a bit frustrated with the background romantic aspects. I expected The Murder on Cold Street to be an especially engaging installment because Inspector Treadle has been arrested for the murder. As always, I thrilled to hear all the investigative tactics with interviews […]
This was a very enjoyable police procedural sort of story around arsons. Joan is on leave from her job in Philadelphia and goes out to Montana where she attended college. She left after a fire and the convicted arsonist, Elijah, is getting out of prison now. She learns a lot of interesting things about her […]
I own the entire Dresden Files series on audio, including the novella collections, and pre-ordered Battle Ground. It’s amazing on audio. Urban Fantasy is my favorite genre and this series is definitely in my top 5 series ever. Harry has all the things I love in UF. He has collected a group of allies of […]
I have been enjoying the Hot and Hammered series with its mostly men in construction and women with all sorts of interesting work. This takes place in a small town in New York and there are some family connections as well. I love this circle of friends and family. The women have formed their […]
