Grim Reaper with a hangover is how this was explained to me and it kinda fits. Hell Bent is the first book in Broken Magic, a spin off series to Allie Beckstrom. I had not read the prior series at all but didn’t have any trouble following the story. I think I would have cared […]
I’ve enjoyed the Library trilogy. In the first book, Livira and Evar meet and get to know each other. They find that although their species are at war, they can love each other. They are separated at the end, Livira amd Malar end up as assistants and goes back in time to help Evar and […]
The Molly the Maid series is delightful as a character study. The mysteries and plot lines are not too complex. Some of the characters might be seen as cliche. But not Molly. Molly is unique and so hard-working and positive. I would recommend reading the series in order for the character development. We get two […]
The Dangerous Damsels series began this world with its witty, hilarious antics. The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love continues the tradition in a new series in the same world, Love’s Academic.

The relationship […]
A near future LA that is mostly underwater where everything revolves around info rather than money is the backdrop to this noir style murder mystery. Cory O’Brien is a debut author and I was eager to give his cyberpunk noir mystery a shot because I was intrigued by this genre blend. Two Truths and a […]
A blast to Rosella’s past for this latest Sugar Shack mystery has her in a race against time to solve a mystery before it’s too late. What a delight that Danielle Garrett keeps adding to this light, but well-developed paranormal cozy mystery. Candy Apples and Clairvoyants is the eighth entry in a series that reads […]

Having watched Anthony Bourdain’s cable shows now and then, loving his style and enjoying how he made even the most exotic foods seem like an experience […]
