Now that I have sped through the pages anxious to see what will happen next, I have closed the book and my initial response is, “Wow!” As the book cover promises, itis “an ending you’ll never forget.” There are so many twists and turns as you absorb the words on the page that your mind is reeling. Just as you think you have things figured out, the authors pull ... no JERK ... the rug out from under your feet. As I said at the beginning, “WOW!!!” Thank you to NetGalley and Lit

When I open up an Alex Delaware book by Jonathan Kellerman, I know I am in for an adventurous ride. Between Alex and his detective friend, Milo, you will be on the edge of your seat waiting to see what clues they will uncover. They make a great team and their ability to bounce thoughts and ideas off each other always helps them solve whatever murder case in which they are involved. The characters are well developed and you will be treated to some of the people from earlier bo

I am a huge David Baldacci fan. I have loved his Amos Decker, John Puller, Atlee Pine, and 6:20 Man series. So I was excited at the opportunity to get immersed in a new one. I was so disappointed. I could not get invested in the story and the characters did not appeal to me. And while I forced myself to read the last word, I could not believe the ending. A cliff hanger ending did not make up for a lackluster book or encourage me to endure a second book in the series. So for m

I have loved the books in the Bree Taggert series by Melinda Leigh. Once you open the book and read the first word, you will be in for a thriller roller coaster ride of adventure, intrigue, and danger. I love the family dynamics that flow through the story while you work alongside Sheriff Bree Taggert and her significant other, Matt Flynn, as they try to solve the murder mystery and hopefully prevent any future murders in Gray’s Hollow. I also liked getting a peak at Morgan D

I am enjoying my time reading the Ruby and Cordelia series by Olivia Blacke. The way the chapters swap back and forth between their thoughts and dialogue is easy to read and gives a great perspective into their personalities ... even though one of them is a ghost! This book provided more background into Cordelia’s past with her family and relationships. I am also enjoying watching Ruby mature and become a more responsible adult. My one negative comment is the constant reminde

I have loved the books in the Blue Ridge Library series by Victoria Gilbert. So when I saw that she was releasing a book in a new series, I was excited at the opportunity to read it. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I did not feel that the characters were appealing and they did not help me care about them. The murder mystery was well developed, but I felt like it could provide much more and encourage me to actually be invested in the story. Hopefully the next book in this s

I love several of the J. A. Jance series and Joanna Brady is one of my favorites. Having read all but two of the books in the series (which I am hoping to read soon!), I have loved getting to know Joanna, her family, and her family within the sheriff’s department. Watching her grow and mature as a mother, wife, and sheriff has been interesting. Her willingness to step into the fray with her officers is admirable. When you open up a J. A. Jance book and absorb the first word o
