I have to say this was really good. I couldn’t put it down. I think I sped read this in less than 6 hours and then went back over it and re-read some of my favorite parts before finally turning to bed last night. Though this book is part of St. James’s Fell, New York series, you don’t have to read The Sun Down Motel before this, but it would help I think for you to get context of the location of this town. A […]

I don’t know what to say. I found the overall resolution to this one to not just be implausible, but when we get the reveal about who took/killed a missing girl it just had me going what in the world. It was very much out of left field and it just didn’t even make sense. I did laugh at this character going, well there’s no DNA that will tie me to this. Really? Considering the person in question, I had to wonder at that myself. […]

I received this book via NetGalley. This did not impact my rating or review. I don’t know what to say. It’s going to be really hard to not say a lot that spoils this book, but I have so many questions and ultimately feel dissatisfied with how Brandon went about ending this. And the reveals/twists after a while had me going really? And there were so many plot holes going on that I just stopped counting after a while. I think that the multiple POVs […]

I really enjoyed this anthology. I thought most of the reads were 5 stars. The last one was not in my opinion, but that’s just because it felt like a really unfinished story to me. And when I got to his afterword and he starts talking about his other works and these characters may show up again, I realized that’s why I got that feeling well reading. 5 stars-I really liked this futuristic look at a woman (Honey Beckett) dealing with the funeral of […]

I have to say upfront I wasn’t paying attention and borrowed the wrong book from the library. I was looking for Ted Chiang’s latest and my freaking Libby showed this even though I typed in Ted Chiang. I wasn’t paying attention to the author’s name when I put it on my hold list. Imagine my surprise when I opened this up and it starts talking about Chef David Chang. I know of him since I have seen some of his tv shows, and honestly my […]

Not a bad installment to the “In Death” series. This honestly gets four stars since there was less what I call aggravations in this one. Plus, this one had a call back to a previous book, Innocent in Death. There are some loose ends in this long running series, so it was nice to get something nice and tidied away. Though I still call BS that no one out there is ever going to call Roarke out on the things he got up to when […]
