Showing up late, hitting them all in one post

Every In Death So Far by J.D. Robb

by 3 Comments

I’m just going to get this out of the way from the start – I read a lot of books this year. A lot.  And I started a lot of reviews, because some of them were excellent, and some of them were horrible, and all of them were review worthy. But… between a completely not-user-friendly borrowed computer saga, the nonsense that is our entire world right now, and a year that would just not quit beating up on me and those I loved, well, not a lot of writing got finished.  As in, barely any.  Then, around September, I wanted […]

Tis the Season to be Bashing! Tra La La La La!

Memory in Death by JD Robb

by Leave a Comment

Happy sigh. This is one of my favorite re-reads. I tend to read it around the Christmas season. But seriously. I needed a happy (as it can be) In Death book. It gets to be a bit of a grind to just read about rape and murder in every other book. Memory in Death (In Death #22) is a really good Eve Dallas and Roarke book. We get to spend about equal time with Roarke in this one. And I just sadly realized it’s been a while since we got a significant third person POV of Roarke in an In […]

One of my Favorite In Death Books

Survivor in Death (In Death #20) by JD Robb

by 4 Comments

Honestly there is not a lot to say here except that this is one of my favorite “In Death” books. There are a couple of scenes that I found too outrageous to be believed (the ending with Nixie), anyone allowing Dallas to take a kid to live with her and Roarke instead of having her in foster care, etc. But I found that there were some wonderful callbacks to earlier cases that Eve had worked. “Survivor in Death” opens up on a loving and happy family being murdered in their beds. Nixie Swisher, who is 9, ends up being the […]

Great Twist Thrown In

Visions in Death by JD Robb

by 2 Comments

After reading the latest In Death books, I went back to my bookshelf this weekend and re-read some of my favorites. It was nice to see what drew me to this series and what I hope to see again one day. “Visions in Death” follows Eve and company as they try to track down a serial killer. I really do love this one because we get to see the friendship of Eve and Peabody come full circle. We have fan favorites like Louise and Charles show up too (I love Charles). We have Feeney, Summerset, and Mavis. Heck, we even […]

This Series Needs a Shakeup Fast

Echoes in Death by JD Robb

by 7 Comments

Well I don’t know what to really say except that I found this whole book except for a couple places to be extremely disappointing. I really do think that it would be better if this series either ends soon or does a jump forward in time or we follow another person to take up the “In Death” mantle like Nikki Swisher from the “Survivor in Death” book which was# 24. That gets me on another topic can you believe it’s been a year since the timeline from that book to this book which is #44 in the “In Death series”. […]

DC Sniper Case Comes to New York

Apprentice in Death by JD Robb

by 4 Comments

Well this is probably going to go down as one of my least favorite “In Death” books. I think the main reason is because after reading a lot of Jeffery Deaver and Michael Connelly the past two months, reading a JD Robb mystery/crime/romance novels is just not going to ring my bell. Usually I’m all for watching Eve, Rourke and their friends tracking down the bad guys. however, this book tells you who the perpetrators are at about the 24% point and then a major part of the book is just trying to catch the bad guys. I just lost […]

More murdering for the holidays

Concealed, Taken & Festive In Death by J. D. Robb

by 3 Comments

(Most of)* My biggest complaints about the recent Captain America: Civil War movie were that it was unnecessary.  Unnecessary in the “why are you fighting right now” way, not in the “why is there another Captain America movie way”, which is never going to come out of my mouth. The largest contributing factor to why I feel it was unnecessary fighting is probably my addiction to MCU fanfiction. Because in fanfiction, everybody can live in Tony’s stupid tower and have movie nights on Thursday (Thor’s day), and the biggest thing they’re arguing about is whether or not Cap cheats at […]

I glom some more sci-fi mystery/romance

Salvation in Death, Ritual in Death, Promises in Death by J.D. Robb

by 1 Comment

It’s that time of year again, when I decide to check in on Lt. Eve Dallas and her unbelievably wealthy and gorgeous husband Roarke. Just like a long-running TV show with characters and a setting I enjoy, these books are perfect vacation reading for me. Salvation in Death – 3.5 stars – A Catholic priest is poisoned with sacramental wine during the funeral of one of the communities best-loved senior citizens. There are tons of witnesses and initially, it seems impossible that anyone could have anything against the popular and civic-minded father Miguel Flores. Then, across town, a hugely successful tele-evangelist […]
