I love a good detective story, and the only thing I love more is a great ghost story. The Ellie Jordan series is the best of both worlds for me, combining great investigations–digging into the past of a location to determine who may be haunting the house, and more importantly, why. And these books also feature […]
In this spin off series featuring characters from a few of her other series, author C.J. Lyons gets off to a thrilling start with Fight Dirty. While I haven’t read any of the other books or any of the author’s work for that matter, I had no problem jumping right into this book. Ex-post office […]

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 […]
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 […]
As much as I love reading Young Adult every once in awhile I need a good outbreak into my second favourite genre which is Adult, Urban and Ilona Andrews is most definitely one of these authors where you know you can’t do anything wrong. I was eagerly excited when I got a copy of her new […]
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 […]

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 […]
I’ve been reading a lot of horror and dark paranormal fiction lately, so Beyond Hollywood Strip was such a nice, fun, refreshing book to cleanse my palate. Actress Callie Lambert has just been let go from her television show, so she’s taking the opportunity to focus on taking her career in a more serious direction […]
