This is where our reviews live. They get along in relative harmony. You can find reviews for brand-new titles, and upcoming titles. There are reviews from our to-be-read piles, the books we simply didn’t get to when they first released. We even have a Throwback Thursday page where you can find reviews of books ten years old or older. So take a look. Stay a while. Find something new to read.
Dead End Girl (Violet Darger #1)The upside of having a Kindle is when you are given recommendations for books you might like. Well, I definitely liked this first book in the Violet Darger series and I dove straight in to the entire series, enjoying my visit into yet another twisted mystery.
Wave, Listen to Me! Vol. 1If you have been enjoying anime’s Spring 2020 season, you might be interested in the first volume of manga series Wave Listen to Me! by Hiroaki Samura, whose previous series include Blade of the Immortal and Die Wegelder.
This Is How You Lose the Time WarIf you like time travel, romance, and epistolary style novels look no further. This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone is an utterly fantastic novel and so very deserving of the many award nominations it’s been nominated for recently – including a Nebula Award Nominee for Best Novella (2019), British Science Fiction Association Award Nominee for Best Shorter Fiction (2019), and Ray Bradbury Prize (2020).
The Body Keeper (Detective Jude Fontaine Mysteries #3)The final part of this amazing trilogy is here and when I tell you that I could barely stop reading I mean that I took a day off work to finish it. I couldn’t resist the pull of this well-written, heart stopping finale.
The Body Counter (Detective Jude Fontaine Mysteries #2)Picking up a few months after book one we see that Jude and Uriah have grown to trust each other as partners, despite some of their own suspicions of one another. When a series of apparently random crimes hits, with no real pattern other than the dead bodies they must figure out who the killer is- fast.
The Body Reader (Detective Jude Fontaine Mysteries #1)Another mystery series? Don’t mind if I do…
Detective Jude Fontaine was held captive for three years. Her captor, her only contact for that entire time became the subject of Jude’s focus as she studied every single detail about him during each horrendous and difficult interaction.
In The Darkness (Zoe Bentley Mystery #2)Book number two in the series didn’t disappoint me and with strong characters, a twisting plot, the return of the best crazy grandfather ever and a creepy killer to be hunted, well it was easy to finish this book fast.
A Killer's Mind (Zoe Bentley Mystery #1)Back to my old tricks again as I tell all of you about another murder mysteries series and another strong team of unlikely partners. Ready?
The BrideWhen I saw this title on NetGalley, I was intrigued. The summary of the book led my thoughts down a path of “what-ifs” and I was thrilled when I received the approval.
Levius/est Vol 1Direct sequel to the manga Levius, Haruhisa Nakata’s Levius/est Vol. 1 is a science fiction manga. It opens after a devastating war. But now, things are different.
