Emily Henry’s stories related by Julia Whelan really hit the feelings for me. Funny Story started as not at all funny but heartbreaking. The outcome was ironic, not humorous funny. With only a week to find somewhere to live, Daphne ends up with the ex-fiancé (Miles) of her ex-fiancé’s (Peter) new fiancé (Petra). Uh, yeah. […]
I don’t read very much historical fiction. It is often degrading to women. The commonplace beliefs are upsetting. A Calamity of Souls was heartbreaking each step of the way. With less scientific methods, and the prejudice in law enforcement and judicial systems, a black man arrested for murder is likely to be convicted. He is […]
I think my most anticipated book every year is latest installment of the Veronica Speedwell series. I don’t hesitate to use my Audible credits to pre-order them, and spend the entire month before the release re-listening to the earlier installments. A Grave Robbery is book number nine in this fun, well-written series. I can hardly […]
Well this was sort of a surprise and I LOVED it. It really highlighted the difference between science and military / politics of things. This Eclipsed Evolution series is a view into aliens visiting Earth as their own planet is dying. The trilogy is initially being released on audio first. The audio is short and […]
When their cruise ship comes across an empty derelict ship in space, a salvage crew finds themselves up asking a lot of questions as the mysteries compound. Returning to the Star Cruise subseries within futuristic space adventure romances of The Sectors world is an event I greet with great excitement. I love that Veronica Scott […]
Empire of the Damned is the second book in the Empire of the Vampire and no holds are barred and many emotions are had. Personally, I was over vampire books but then Jay Kristoff drags me back in with a dark and horrible tail. This is not the romantic heroes, or sparkly vampires of other books. […]
And the plot thickens…(suspenseful music playing)…White Trash Zombie Apocalypse finds our plucky heroine, Angel, up to her frizzy, only partially bleached hair in the nefarious goings-on within the zombie underworld. Will she be able to determine why real zombies and fake zombies are roaming the streets of her town? Will she and her boyfriend(?) Marcus find […]
Wow. There are lots of triggers in this story, if you need to know. One of Our Own was suspenseful. I can’t imagine trying to help a young girl who is so distraught she wants to kill herself. Especially when you have lost a sister to suicide. Felicia could really relate to the girl and […]
I am always so excited and ready to read books by Kelley Armstrong, especially the Rockton series now Haven’s Rock series which is a spin-off as well as a direct continuation of the previous series. Our point of view has been and is Casey. I personally would start with the previous series because of the […]
Orphan X series is one I never want to miss. I would read the books in order because of the character developments and also because they are all amazing and fun! I’ve been worried about Evan. He can’t really have a normal life and has to stay hidden. I’m surprised the government isn’t after him […]
