Not what I expected; Exactly what I expected
Night's Fall by Kristen Ashley

Rating:

ElCicco's CBR18 Review #46:

“…looking back at those pages, I shivered to see our plunge into darkness, day by day, without realizing it was a spiral, and its nadir, the abyss.”
The Year of the Wind: A Novel by Karina Pacheco Medrano

Rating:

Cover of the Sleeping Sisters by Jennifer Givhan. It shows a surrealist portrait of a woman with flowers against a landscape in place of an upper face

vega-table's CBR18 Review #41:

Everyone but the chihuahua is a suspect
The Sleeping Sisters by Jennifer Givhan

The Intrigue by Silvia Moreno Garcia

Emmalita's CBR18 Review #44:

About the Murder of Geraldine Foster by Anthony Abbot

About the Murder of Geraldine Foster by Anthony Abbot

September 20, 2026 by Classic 1 Comment

This was a really great Golden Age mystery novel. I have never heard of Abbot before, and of course found out he was the author of The Greatest Story Ever Told after I bought this book and started to read it. And honestly, I knew that it was a movie (The Greatest Story Ever Told) but never realized … [Read more]

In the Dark

In the Dark by Loreth Anne White

September 20, 2026 by Classic Leave a Comment

I actually thought this was a really great homage to And Then There Were None. The main reason why I gave it 4 stars though is that the back and forth between the current investigation to what happened to the people off to a luxury spa really did slow the book down a lot. I also didn't care about … [Read more]

Cbr18bingo Summer (my final book review of astronomical summer, which officially ends September 22, 2026, at 8:05 pm ET) What a delightful way to end summer! This book had me from page one, and the fact that I hadn’t read the first book in the series did not get in the way of enjoying this one. … [Read more]

The Inheritance

This is propaganda to allow dogs to eat roadkill. And one of my comfort reads.

The Inheritance by Ilona Andrews

September 20, 2026 by Emmalita 3 Comments

I don’t know what kind of addictive substances Ilona Andrews puts in their writing, but please don’t send me to rehab. I am sometimes surprised by which books become comfort reads. I have several, including a couple from Ilona Andrews. The Inheritance is one of the books that took me by surprise. I … [Read more]

Very much NOT a romantasy

Monster, Monarch, Maiden by Rae Carson

September 19, 2026 by Malin Leave a Comment

This was an ARC; thank you to NetGalley, Harper Audio and Greenwillow Books. My opinions are my own. This book is on sale now. Bria Angarsold is an innkeeper's daughter (she mentions this at seven different points in the story, in case you were likely to forget) who was kidnapped by raiders, … [Read more]
