The Children of Eve by John Connolly

I don’t know guys. I love Charlie Parker but this was just not that great. It’s definitely not in my top five of this series. This is even more filler (why is Parker so important—the world will never know) and the main plot is just very unsatisfying. I just felt like there were too many holes and not enough people for me care about outside of Charlie, Louis, and Angel. We do get more of Charlie and his daughter Sam which I appreciated. I wonder […]

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This was just boring. I wanted there to be something interesting about this one, but there just wasn’t. You cannot have the heroine or hero be straight up insufferable in a romance book unless you are doing enemies to lovers IMHO. Unfortunately, the heroine in this one, Chelsea was insufferable. I really needed to know what everyone else saw in her, because she complained throughout this book, acted […]

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review.  Hey, I am always going to be down for a homage to “And Then There Were None.” The author, Cindy R.X. He I think does a great job of turning this into a young adult version but with a contemporary spin that really does work. The only reason that it didn’t get 5 stars for me and received just 4 is that I think the jumping back and […]

The Killing Stones by Ann Cleeves

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. I want to make sure readers know, though this is the continuation of Ann Cleeves Jimmy Perez character, it’s not a “Shetland” mystery, the action takes place on Orkney, several miles off the coast of Scotland. I honestly really enjoyed this book–hence the 5 stars–because I think that Cleeves did a great slow burn of bringing us back into Jimmy’s life and how it’s changed, head nods to […]

Please note that I received this via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. I liked this book just because for once an author resisted the urge to have 2o POVs to get to a plot/ending. Day stuck to two main characters which I think helped with the plot and flow. I thought that there were a couple of minor holes here and there, but nothing that bothered me that much. I do think that at one point there was just too much […]

Sigh. This just dragged. I excitedly bought this one but it took me from March until June to finish this one. I am not looking forward to book #13 and was told it was a letdown, so maybe that’s why I wasn’t in such a rush to finish this one. This dragged, and the cop-out towards the end so the prophecy they have been screeching about for about 11 books no longer matters was a mess. I just wish that Delaney had focused on the […]
