So the cover of this audiobook is just the number 1222. Not terribly exciting. Then I flipped the box over & my eye caught a few words: Norwegian, murder, train derailment… I was totally in! We start off with a woman in a wheelchair on a train. It’s not a spoiler if I tell you who she is (Hanna Wilhelmsen – this is book 8 in her series), & that the train crashes almost immediately (duh, it’s on the box). Hanna is the main character, […]
This story is as original as I’ve ever read, and totally engrossing
This was a Kindle first for May, and most of the “firsts” are hit or miss. Some of them are fantastic, and I find a new author to follow. Some of them are terrible and I can’t wait to be done with them. Thankfully this book fell into the first category. I absolutely loved it. It’s been a while since I’ve read a book where I could call the story mostly original. The only unoriginal part of this story is that there’s a bad guy […]
The final Parasitology book
Ok so this is the final book in the Parasitology book. Everything is all sorted out. At this point, Sal has been a semi-prisoner at home and at SymboGen, an actual prisoner at USAMRIID, an escapee from USAMRIID, then a prisoner of Sherman’s, an escapee from Sherman’s, and finally a willing returnee to both USAMRIID and Sherman’s. At this point, the “sleepwalkers” or the “throwbacks” are fairly under control. Both USAMRIID and Sherman have been collecting them for various reasons. The government is trying to […]
I actually went to bed early tonight, so I could lay in bed and finish this book!
I unabashedly loved this book. I borrowed it from the library as an ebook. I couldnt wait to climb into bed each night and read it! I thought that the characters were all well written and realistic. The two time periods were also very different and well explained. I’m not sure how to write a review of this book without being spoilery, so here’s your warning: SPOILERS AHEAD!! Kivrin is one of the main characters in this story. She’s an historian, and in the future […]
The Naked Eye – I’d like to poke it
Dr. Kendra something or other is a formerly blind music therapist. Since getting her sight back, she assists various police with crime investigations. Sounds super interesting, right? Well, this mother and son writing team manages to wring out all the interest and suspense. It’s like a bad sitcom, whenever anyone says that something isn’t going to happen, it happens immediately. For example: if someone says, “maybe he’s not home”, ‘he’ would appear in the middle of that sentence. As for Kendra, she exudes no sex […]
The first book in a new series by Marcia Clark. Yeah, that Marcia Clark :)
I didn’t really like Ms. Marcia’s writing style for the first part of this book. It was a little too conversational for me. The main character (Sam)’s best friend / assistant is named Michelle, but she calls her Michy. Her car is named Beulah. It just seemed like someone was trying too hard to make “fetch” happen. About two thirds of the way through though, I realized that it totally fit the main character (Sam). The more I got to know her, the more I […]
