I picked this one up on a whim, thinking the cover was pretty and the story sounded intriguing. At the time, I didn’t realize it was categorized as New Adult – a genre I have steered away from, or I might have put it back on the shelf. That said, I found myself sucked into the story fairly rapidly, and I enjoyed the dialogue and the change of pace from historical romance. This is actually the third book in The Starcrossed Series, but it did […]
Tis the Season to be Bashing! Tra La La La La!
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 […]
One of my Favorite In Death Books
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 […]
If you like descriptions of cleaning and sorting wires…this one’s for you! Including some [NSFW] gif’ing
“The world divides between those who can watch television knowing there’s an isolated jigsaw fragment lying on the floor and those who can’t.” There is a pile of stuff at the bottom of the stairs (which I mean, how can you NOT pick up a book with such an awesome name!? Turns out picking it up was easy. Reading it was the hard part. But I digress). This pile at the bottom of the stairs is not a happy pile, it is a pile left […]
Thanks to the CBR romance readers hive mind for this one.
This is another one of those books I probably wouldn’t have touched were it not for the online book reviewing community. Specifically, all of you fellow romance-reading reviewers here at CBR, who read and reviewed Kulti to pieces starting late last year. I’d never even heard of Mariana Zapata until y’all started raving over this book. I’ve learned to trust our collective hive mind over the years, so I picked this up with one of my Audible credits earlier this year, and decided to save […]
Don’t trust generous relatives living in creepy houses
Kate is broke and too young and pretty to work (that was thing). She is an orphan with no siblings and only her old nurse Sarah to turn to. Kate starts to think her only hope is to become a dresser or a seamstress. Sarah decides to write to Kate’s aunt (her father’s estranged half-sister Kate has never met). The aunt instantly appears and declares Kate the daughter she never had. Kate’s problems are over, right? She is whisked away to an old mansion and […]
