Great Twist Thrown In

March 6, 2017 by Classic 3 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 […]

This seems like a fun movie to dreamcast

March 5, 2017 by llp 4 Comments

After the darkness of Deadhouse Gates, I needed something a bit lighter. Many of my much trusted and admired fellow Cannonballers enjoy romance novels, and this review of Heyer’s Twin Swap seemed to suggest this author would fit the bill. There were only a few Heyer books at the library, so randomly picked Black Sheep. It took me a few minutes to get into the style and language, but once I was used to it, it was just the thing. This Regency romance focuses on […]

This Series Needs a Shakeup Fast

March 5, 2017 by Classic 9 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 […]

Gay romance, burnt food, and examinations of masculinity

March 4, 2017 by yesknopemaybe Leave a Comment

3.5 stars. I love a good M/M romance and have been trying to seek out more queer romances. This one looked delightful and it did not disappoint. What I didn’t know going into this book was that one of the characters is trans which means that this is officially my first trans romance! I really liked that Ginsberg being trans wasn’t the story, it was just one small part of the story. Former logger and all-around manly man Derrick inherited his parent’s B&B after they […]

DC Sniper Case Comes to New York

March 1, 2017 by Classic 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 […]

Cursed Chattans

February 28, 2017 by sarah_jwh Leave a Comment

This review is for the second and third books in the Chattan Curse trilogy, The Scottish Witch and The Devil’s Heart. The first book in this series was a little too woo-woo with the curse bit, setting up the back story, and I think it got in the way of the rest of the story. The second and third don’t seem to have this problem, which makes them much more enjoyable. There are bits about the curse, but they are actively looking to do away […]

    I was agog after reading that sentence. Could not read on for five minutes. I mean, wtf.

    “Skin covered finger bones”—that’s hilarious. This was a very satisfying review.

    No heist, but it still feels a little heist-y due to some heist-adjacent action.
