Time to start putting this one to bed.

Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun (Finlay Donovan, #3) by Elle Cosimano

by Leave a Comment

We’re definitely experiencing diminishing returns with this series, but I’m still enjoying myself. I think I’m ready for it to have a definitive ending, though. I don’t want the author to beat this horse to death just because we keep buying the books out of remembered affection for how crazy good we thought book one was. To be honest, I no longer remember most of the details of the plot of this book. Finlay and Vero have to find out who EasyClean is (the hit […]

A bit of a perplexing read for me. Half of this was great! The other half was . . . fine.

I held off on rating and reviewing this book because I wasn’t sure how I felt about it and I wanted to “let it simmer a bit.” I regret this stupid decision now because I still don’t really know how I feel about the book, and now I also don’t really remember the book! I mean, I remember the book, but I don’t remember like most of the characters names. Who knows what else I’ve forgotten. What I do remember is that this book is […]

Deja Vu all over again

The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher

by Leave a Comment

In reviewing The Twisted Ones, I would be correct in summarising the plot as such: A young women with a silly nickname, recently single, upends her life and moves to a kooky new location to assist a family member in need. In moving, she is thrown into a world of magical intrigue. She befriends a zany local barista as the mystery at the heart of the magic unfurls. Eventually, she travels to a fantastical world accompanied by a sassy, fishnet wearing side kick, gets stuck […]

“What was worse, being invisible or being seen? It was exhausting, the ego, the desire to be noticed – even admired – always dilating and contracting, flapping open and crumpling closed, over and over and over.”

We Were Never Here by Andrea Bartz

I predict that I won’t remember I read this book in a few years… so it’s really going to be like this book was never here (rimshot). This book initially had a whiff of Single White Female, a la the 1992 movie starring Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh, wherein a female friend starts to take their friendship a little too seriously, in an “if I can’t have you no one can” sort of way. Emily and Kristen are besties ride or dies who don’t […]

A great time was had.

Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn

by 3 Comments

A great time was had. People were slain, revenge was had, plots were foiled, and women of a certain age came out of retirement to clear their names and kick some ass. There’s also a cat named Kevin in here, and I just think that’s important. I don’t actually think I have too much to say about this one. There wasn’t much deep about it, it’s just a good book, a thriller but more on the cozy end than not. A cozy thriller! Who knew […]

What Is to Come Has Already Been Decided

The Angel Maker by Alex North

by Leave a Comment

Katie and her brother Chris have had a strained relationship ever since the brutal attack on Chris that changed their lives forever. Decades later, it might be too late to fix things when Chris goes missing. In this book, we are introduced to two separate mysteries that inevitably wind together – the disappearance of Chris Shaw, and the murder of Alan Hobbs – and the way that they come together made me exercise my brain and sometimes stretched my incredulity. I would hesitate to call […]
