There are only two indie authors I can’t wait to read their next books, even after I enjoyed their first magical book many years ago. J.L. Bryan has the supernatural market cornered for me, and when it comes to crime mysteries, it’s A.J. Lape all the way. The sixth installment of the Darcy Walker Investigations […]
My favorite paranormal writer, J.L. Bryan, has a new paranormal series. Sable is book one in the Night Folk series and this time he’s tackling the world of werewolves. You see right off the bat that Alice, born with the werewolf gene, has a very hard time dealing with her nature–especially after being cultivated […]
My absolute favorite crime/mystery series is back, and I enjoyed every second that I got to spend with Darcy Walker. In 5 Pounds of Pressure, Darcy has found herself on leave from the Los Angeles Police Department so she can recover from the bullet wounds that a pimp put into her at the end of […]
The Darcy Walker books are in the top three of my all time favorite series, and I anxiously await each new installment. Medusa Effect is the fourth book in the Darcy Walker Investigations series, featuring an older, somewhat wiser Darcy, yet she’s still spunky, resourceful, and uncontrollable when an unsolved mystery or death is dangled right […]
Romantic suspense is my favorite genre at the moment, and when it features a smart, brave, and successful woman in a STEM field in the leading role, I’m all in. Avery is an engineer in the oil business, and she’s called in at the last minute to work along the US-Mexico border. She’s used […]
Diving in with another new-to-me author and my go-to genre, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Emilie Richards’ novel A Family of Strangers. Featuring family drama on the backdrop of a mystery, with a nice Florida setting to give everything a vacation destination feel where you’d think nothing bad would ever happen. Ryan Rose Gracey is […]
British crime thrillers and mysteries are favorites of mine, and The Cutting Room by Ashley Dyer proved to be more than your run of the mill murder mystery. When a sadistic, extremely smart and elusive serial killer is on the loose in Liverpool, DCI Greg Carver and Sargent Ruth Lake must piece together […]
Taking a refreshing turn from mysteries and thrillers, I read the charming Southern fiction book, By Invitation Only by new-to-me author Dorothea Benton Frank. After a few chapters, I was enchanted by the South Carolina setting where mother Diane struggles to pull together an engagement party for her only son Fred, who just […]
I’ve been a big fan of Marie Force’s Fatal series for a while now, and the latest book, Fatal Invasion delivers everything I expect from this series: danger, intrigue, fast-paced action filled with Sam’s snark and Freddie’s choir boy goodness, and great romance to offset the often dark tone from the crimes throughout the book. […]
Historical fiction can be a bit hit or miss for me, and I was glad to see that The Impossible Girl hit all of the right notes in capturing the dark, gritty despair of Victorian mid-1800s New York City. In 1830, a wealthy young woman has been shunned by her family since she’s become […]
Thrillers and suspense are my favorite, and psychological suspense hold a special place in my heart. When the Lights Go Out is haunting, tense at times, beautiful, and heartbreaking throughout, and it certainly held my attention throughout the entire book. Told from two points of view in different times: twenty-ish year-old Jesse in present day, who has […]
There’s just something about the worlds that Maisey Yates creates, featuring characters in two picturesque Oregon towns of Gold Valley and Copper Ridge, that grabs my attention and has me interested from the start. Her romances always feature a fiesty heroine and a smooth talking cowboy, but both always have their problems and […]
After loving J.T. Ellison’s last book, Lie To Me, I was very eager to read her latest mystery/thriller, Tear Me Apart. Featuring 17-year-old skiing champion Mindy Wright who crashes, breaking her leg and then the doctors find she has an aggressive form of leukemia during her surgery. But when they test her parents for stem […]
