I’ve been more attracted to reading cozy fantasy this winter. I really enjoyed The Teller of Small Fortunes and now, The Rainfall Market. The story was written in another language originally and is translated. The main character is a teenage girl, Serin, who has many problems disadvantages in her life. She hears of a ticket […]
I love the Sunrise Cove series which is a newer one. Not that I don’t love the older series because I do. This series is set in a beautiful place and has characters which shine. They have the quirky, realistic foibles one can love. The humor and banter is always enjoyable. Olive is a very […]
The Quinn & Costa series is a favorite which I highly anticipate reading. The author has a talent for connecting me to the characters and my emotions. The backdrop to the series is Kara’s developing relationship with Matt and her incredible skills. Kara Quinn is incredibly smart and intuitive. She was undercover with LA and […]

The murder happens because various groups want to control a scientific advancement. The science is about building bridges to span longer distances. It is developed using mathematics […]

Red Letter Days duology uses a style I have read one other time and it’s one I LOVE! There are two female main characters in this series. Devil’s Bargain was from the point of view of Jazz who is an ex-cop. Devil’s Due is from Lucia’s point of view, an ex-federal agent. James Borden […]
I’ve enjoyed this author so I was excited to see this backlist title coming to audio. It’s a short Duology – Red Letter Days. I will be reviewing the next book Tuesday Devil’s Due. The story is a combination of law enforcement and special operations. It’s a strange setup and there is more I hope […]
