Break on Through to the Other Side

Now You See Her by Linda Howard

April 10, 2021 by katie71483 Leave a Comment

Linda Howard was one of my top go-to romance authors for a long time, but somewhere along my reading journey she fell to the wayside. I was going through my Kindle library and came across Now You See Her which was originally published in 1998. I decided to do a re-read to see if it held up better than some of Howard’s other books like Mr. Perfect, which I used to love but have since come to realize is very problematic. The answer is maybe? Now You See Her […]

Secondary saves the day

Benched by Colleen Chambers

April 8, 2021 by katie71483 Leave a Comment

Benched by Colleen Charles takes place in Duluth, Minnesota, which is evidently black and white Pleasantville, but with hockey. Everyone is clean cut, successful, and preoccupied with whether or not they’re in good with the Chamber of Commerce. Honestly, I didn’t realize local Chambers have as much power in the community as they seem to in Benched. But I digress. Let me circle around back to the beginning. He’s a star hockey player for the Minnesota Caribou. He has major trust issues having just found his fiancée […]

Ain’t no mountain high enough

Devoted by Dean Koontz

March 28, 2021 by katie71483 Leave a Comment

I feel like I should preface this review with an admission: I was predisposed to love Devoted by Dean Koontz. His earlier novel, Watchers, is one of my all-time faves, and this one is similar in subject matter: a golden retriever who is more than he appears to be is up against a monstrous experiment gone wrong in a battle of good versus evil. Circling back to my predisposition to love this newer novel, my family has always had dogs. One of them was the […]

Puck Me Secretly by Odette Stone

March 16, 2021 by katie71483 Leave a Comment

Y’all. Y’ALL. When I tell you that Odette Stone’s Puck Me Secretly starts off with a BANG of a meet cute, I mean that quite literally. When we first meet Rory, she’s waiting to get on a plane home to Vancouver after being away at college for four years. She’s dreading having to join the family business. Rory’s at the bar in the first class lounge trying to ingest enough liquid cottage to get over here fear of flying. Max sits at the bar two […]

First Year by Tamora Pierce

Squire by Tamora Pierce

Lady Knight by Tamora Pierce

March 7, 2021 by katie71483 6 Comments

I was introduced to Tamora Pierce and the realm of Tortall in 1986 by a classmate of mine named Alec Deleon. He was reading a copy of Alanna: The First Adventure while in the library at lunchtime. I asked him why he was reading a book about a GIRL when he was a BOY in that know-it-all way that ten-year-olds have. He said I should try it since I liked The Hero & the Crown by Robin McKinley. Evidently that little jerk was actually paying […]
