After his sister and brother in law were brutally slain in their home, Frank Rath gave up his badge to raise his months’ old niece as his daughter. But with his skills and instincts he never truly strayed that far from the job, taking up the profession of private detective, often having his daughter Rachel help him see the pieces of the puzzle he was missing. When his friend from the force comes to him asking him to investigate what has happened to his gorgeous […]
Neither Character Is As Awful As I Thought They Were In the Last Book
Ahhh what glowing praise I’ve bestowed upon the characters in my title. hahaha. I won’t be able to talk much about the plot of this book unless I was willing to talk about some major plot points from the second book because you might want to read that book. I personally never want to read that book ever again as it destroyed two characters that I loved in the first book, A Study in Charlotte. I disliked The Last of August so very much that I wasn’t […]
It Ain’t A Party Until Someone Loses An Eye…OR so I’ve heard…
One of my favorite books is the Ice Storm. It’s one of the saddest books ever and the impending storm builds as does the intense feeling that something awful is going to happen and the there’s no way to save the characters from themselves or their decisions. The book is bleak as hell and most people hate it because of that, but the writing and the tension are truly amazing. When I read the little blurb from Book Bub yesterday about The Party, I got […]
I Feel Very Alone in My Opinion
When one of your favorite people (Anne Lamott) tells People magazine that she, “gobbled it up in one sitting” and you slogged through the book trying to figure out what “good writing” Lamott was talking about, you feel badly about things. I feel badly about myself. It’s like why do I suck so much? But hey, maybe this book isn’t for me. Maybe the movie coming out with Nicole Kidman will strike the nerve that the book did not do for me. Maybe. Maybe I’m […]
I Want to Give This To Everyone Who Needs It
I’ll Give You the Sun is a book that is going to stick around with me for a long time I think, maybe forever. After I finished reading it, I cried because I was done reading it. I don’t think I’ve ever done that before with a YA book, not trying to knock YA too hard but it’s sometimes hard to find the “literature” part in some of the YA lit I’ve been reading. Not so here. Jandy Nelson’s writing is amazing, the word choice, the […]
I Wouldn’t Survive the Two Minutes
When you think of fairies you think of Tinkerbelle, don’t you? Sometimes I do, but sometimes I think of the fairies that my Irish grandmother would talk about, beautiful but deadly, who would steal babies and get humans to enter into impossible bargains. These are the fairies found in both The Call and the Invasion. Kids no longer get to experience childhood, instead, they begin training as warriors waiting for the day that they will be “called” from our world to the fairy world. […]
