Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center

by Leave a Comment

I will start this review by saying after I read this book, I expeditiously ordered every other book written by Katherine Center. I’ve said it before, and I will say it again – I love love. Give me a good romance, and I’m a happy girl. Not only was this book a beautifully written, heartfelt novel, it also featured some serious girl power, which I can always get behind! According to the National Fire Protection Association, there are 1.16 million firefighters in the United States, […]

Official book description: It is not a peaceful time in the Dells. The young King Nash clings to his throne while rebel lords in the north and south build armies to unseat him.

Equally hated and adored, she has the unique ability to control minds, but she guards her […]

Apocalypse literature at its best

I know it’s not fair to compare because Joe Hill has only written four novels whereas his father has written more than ninety (!!), but I dare say that Joe Hill might be the better author of the two. Although he certainly hasn’t written anything on the scope of The Stand or the Dark Tower series, so that might be a hasty judgment. But I can say this for certain—I’ve loved everything Hill has written so far, and I’ve been enjoying each book he comes […]

Darn Hooch

by 5 Comments

This is the fourth book in the Sweet Pepper Fire Brigade series by JJ Cook.  The story centers around fire chief Stella Griffin, some ghosts and a hooch war.  By the way, that’s hooch as in moonshine, not any of the other terms you might be thinking of (money, female private parts, a loose woman, a scuzzy man or half of a K-9/cop duo).  There’s also some stereotypical small town stuff (romance or the lack thereof, family issues, politics, misogyny and food) to round out […]
