Unknown Number

Unknown Number by Blue Neustifter

by 7 Comments

I just read this about half an hour ago and this was wonderful. The plot, flow, and the two characters we get to meet in this will do your heart in.

Nightwork

Nightwork by Nora Roberts

by Leave a Comment

I think it's time for Roberts to just write a straight up mystery and forget about the romance side of things. You can feel her itching to do it. This is supposedly romantic suspense, but it's so light on that it feels like a misnomer to categorize it as such. It doesn't help that we follow a … [Read more]

“Now, it’s finally time to reveal some secrets.”

Secret History (Mistborn, #3.5) by Brandon Sanderson

by Leave a Comment

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 29/30 I liked this even better this time. But Sanderson is right that it's disjointed so I can't give it five stars. I teared up a little though! I don't actually have much to say about this, now that it comes time to write the review. It's hard to talk about … [Read more]
