Please note that I gave this book 2.5 stars and rounded it up to 3 stars for the purposes of this review. Trigger warning: rape. I read this for Romance Book Bingo: Love is Murder square. So book #2 definitely does not work as well as book #1 does. The story-line felt very rushed (the hero declares his love for the heroine before they even make love, proposes marriage after they make love for the first time) and the serial rapist/murderer did not work real […]
Mr. Serial Killer Comes to Washington
I read this for Romance Book Bingo 2017: Headless Woman square. I vaguely recall reading this book when I was a teenager. I re-read it because I was totally light on details. I think I ended up getting bored with it and never finishing it though. If the book didn’t have a cover with a woman half out of a dress with Fabio and his flowing mane of hair I tended to not sneak those from my mom. Sacred Sins is a pretty good procedural […]
Holly or TSTL Heroine
Please note that I gave this book half a star and rounded it up to 1 star for the purpose of this review. So I live blogged this book yesterday on Booklikes. I am so glad that those who followed me got to read along to what a completely messed up romance book this was. I read this for Romance Book Bingo 2017, the Too Stupid to Live (TSTL) square. I can honestly say this may be a romance first for me to also find […]
The Princess Bride with Shapeshifters
This is such a weird book and I loved it. There were some plot holes here and there which is the only reason why I am giving this 4 stars. This is an alternate story to Lady Jane and here is some information for you people out there who don’t know who Lady Jane Grey is. Lady Jane Grey (1536/1537 – 12 February 1554), also known as Lady Jane Dudley or the Nine-Day Queen, was an English noblewoman and de facto monarch of England and Ireland from 10 […]
Run, Read This, And Go Tell That
Wow. Just wow. I saw this movie two weeks ago and was blown away by it. Reading the book just gave me even more details about the African American women who came out as human computers (I had no idea that was where the word computers came from, they computed so were seen as computers) and helped shaped the United States space program. Shetterly has historian disease (yeah I use to suffer from this as well, historians unite!) so the flow was off a few […]
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Oh man. This is going to be a doozy. I am still mad and I finished this up last night. I mean I woke up at one point last night and maybe screeched yelled at the final reveal to this book. I have loved older Koontz books, but his most recent stuff besides the Odd Thomas books hasn’t really resonated with me. The only book I recall that I even “liked” was “The City” and even that got on my nerves at times. I think […]
