Kate is fresh off of a long term relationship, and she’s looking for a new job that is challenging and is one where she will flourish. When she takes the sales development job with a firm where she’ll be traveling overseas, she must go through a hostage course to prepare her for what could happen […]
Becca barely makes it through one class of her graduate school career for a business degree before deciding to call it quits. She doesn’t feel like she belongs there with the young, straight-out-of-undergrad people or that she can really devote two years of her life to this degree right now. Her life has been rather […]
The weather in Chicago has grown cool and Halloween is almost here, so I’m in the mood for spooky tales about ghosts and ghouls and monsters. J.L. Bryan has written about some form of all of these before, but his latest offering focuses on hauntings and he kicks off a new series featuring a kick […]
Happy Friday, and welcome to the latest installment of our feature. My son started kindergarten this year and the Scholastic book fair was last week. One of the six books that he picked out was Mystery on the LEGO Express. My son absolutely adores LEGO and we’ve liked many of the LEGO books that Trey King […]
I’ve really enjoyed reading series where each book focuses on secondary characters from a previous book, letting you get to know them so much more intimately and allowing you to get their whole story. You can just join the series without having read the rest and you won’t be lost too. The Beautifully Broken series […]
Wonderfully Wicked is such a stunning and layered fantasy meets paranormal romance, and I certainly enjoyed every second that I was absorbed in this unique world where Dreamcasters and Valkara co-exist in our reality. Kalila has always been different. She’s always had nightmares instead of dreams, and the creatures in them have always been able to […]
After the fast-paced, action packed first book Icons, where we first met Dol, Ro, Tima, and Lucas–the Icon children who are seeming immune to the mysterious Icons that aliens placed on Earth that can stop a human’s heart, I expected more of the same from the second installment after the four teens had taken out the […]
The Betrayed is another fabulous installment in the Krewe of Hunters series, featuring an FBI group of paranormal investigators that are called in when the crimes could use a bit of help from the supernatural to solve along with good old fashioned police work to solve. I love that each book is a stand alone novel […]
Fresh out of a three-year relationship, Lucy quits her job and takes a vacation alone to France to find herself and forget her ex-boyfriend Jason. While visiting an historic WWI battlefield where Australian soldiers lost their lives and were buried in a mass grave, Lucy unknowingly meets the ghost of one of the deceased soldiers […]
I always love a good mystery/thriller featuring a family that isn’t all that it seems. Rory Langtry lost both her fraternal twin sister and her fiancee in the same night to murder. While her sister Anya died, her artist fiancee Junior Lara was left in a coma and had been accused of what appeared to be […]
Tommy Smythe’s disappearance shocked the small Texas community that he lived in. From the students that attended high school with him, to the residents that saw him driving around town on his red motorbike, to the people just passing through and stopping at the little dirt pull-out off the highway that was the last place […]
Nothing says summer to me like amusement parks. My father would gather up my sister and I, and we’d make the trek to Six Flags, either to the one in St. Louis or to Great America in Gurnee. Even with the long drive from our small hometown in the middle of Illinois and walking around in the heat […]
I just love when I can start a book in the middle of a series and not be lost. The Hexed is definitely a standalone novel, and I enjoyed it so much that I want to go back and read the twelve previous novels. Craig “Rocky” Rockwell discovered the body of his friend Melissa who’d […]
