My Review I loved everything about this book! The setting, the story line, the characters… all of it! I originally picked this book because I have a soft spot for all things Hawaiian. I lived there 18 years ago and I am about to move back, so I love to read about the place I […]
My Review This was a strange, but intriguing book. There were moments when it was like reading through an altered state, as if Cara isn’t always 100% in the present. In places, there was prose that reminded me a bit of Sarah McCarry’s All Our Pretty Songs. The lines of between reality and that which is imagined […]
My Review Ink and Bone is the first book in the new Great Library series and it is such an interesting premise, rewriting history in a way that is absolutely intense for anyone who truly loves the written word. In this world, knowledge, or too much of it, is seen as almost a disease, the foundation of ruin […]
My Review This was my first book by Alex Kava, and it won’t be my last. Breaking Creed is the first novel in the new Ryder Creed series. Kava’s Maggie O’Dell (from the series with the same name) is also in this book. Even though I haven’t read the other series, there was no problem with […]

Five Days Left tells two tales, the stories of two people who know each other only in […]
My Review This is outside my usual realm of reviewing, but definitely NOT outside my personal reading interests. So when I had the opportunity from Penguin to read this, I jumped at the chance. Like much of the country, I followed the case of the West Memphis 3. I have seen the documentaries produced by HBO […]
My Review Steeped in Evil is the latest release from Laura Childs in the long-running Tea Shop Mysteries series, the 15th book in the series since the first one was published in 2001. So many long-running series, no matter the genre, tend to run their course well before the 15th book, but I find these books to […]
My Review Wow. I could stop right there… but I won’t. This is a FANTASTIC read! I haven’t yet read any of de la Cruz’s other work, the author of the Blue Bloods series among others. I am not sure what I was waiting for?! This is co-authored by her husband, who has, unknown to the world, […]
