I love this Cork O’Connor series and each book is a gift. There is the diversity of cultures, and even different tribes of Native Americans. I easily recall the natural beauty of Minnesota. Apostle’s Cove blends old and new.

On the very night the final events of book one, A Daughter of Fair Verona ended, the adventure for What Dreams May Come begins.

You know when you get a book thinking it is going to be one thing and then it is completely different than you expected. Sometimes that is a good thing and I’ve gone on wild rides and visited crazy places enjoying the ride. Sometimes it means the book doesn’t capture my interest and keep it.

The Kat Holloway series is one of my favorites in the historical mystery genre. We’re well into the series now and I would read these books in order. Daniel is working for Mongahan on a new dangerous case which may be his most dangerous and hopefully, last one. Kat, being a cook, means there are […]| Books of My Heart
“I don’t get no respect,” comedian Rodney Dangerfield once said and neither does Lady Vesper Quill.

I LOVE the Frankie Elkin series. Lisa Gardner has long been an author I have enjoyed and I am thrilled with this newer series.

I needed to figure out a way to start reading series where I am not current or the series is finished but haven’t read them yet.

I’ve really enjoyed this Skyland series. It is about three friends who developed in their adult lives but have really supported each other and shared their lives. I would read them in order because of the development of the relationships. Each could be read alone though. Chapters alternate between Hendrix and Maverick’s points of view.

I’m at a time in my reading life where YA is so hit and miss for me. I struggle with teenage drama that is exasperated by not speaking to one another and some of the other pitfalls YA seems to fall into. While the Dark Remains suffers from a few YA pitfalls, like a character […]| Books of My Heart
I wasn’t sure what to expect but I really enjoyed The Witch’s Orchard. The author is new to me and I was impressed with the small town tale with abducted girls tied into a folk tale. The paranormal aspect was very limited. I wouldn’t mind this being the start of a series. Ten years ago, […]| Books of My Heart

I’ve quickly become a fan of Allison Brennan‘s Angelhart Investigation series.

It gives me the feel somewhat of the Kincaid family, […]| Books of My Heart
Salem’s Cipher series is a re-release. I didn’t know about the older release but I enjoy this author and there is a lot of puzzle solving and treasure-hunting which appeal to me. There is also a distinct focus for women, especially those who have had their scientific discoveries usurped by men. The story begins in […]| Books of My Heart
Brynne Weaver’s The Ruinous Love Trilogy, was probably one of my biggest surprises this year. Who knew I’d fall in love with serial killers falling in love?

This part of the Elemental World and Crimson Oath runs parallel with Dawn Caravan, which is Ben and Tenzin’s story.

One of the most endearing TV shows to come out of the 80’s was The Golden Girls and with reruns, succeeding generations have come to know those feisty old gals from Miami.

I always enjoy this author and the twisty nature of his stories. The main character Ethan Hall is a really good guy. He was on the police force, like his father for about 10 years, with a 100% solve rate. But the police work is dark and he saw lots of bad things when it […]| Books of My Heart

I’ve enjoyed every book I’ve read by Lynn Painter. They always seem to have very fun banter and humor. So I always want to read her books.

Lately, I’ve returned to a series I haven’t touched in years so I have been delighted to participate in Series on Sunday which helped get me properly motivated.

Christian White is a new-to-me author, and I had no idea what to expect from this story. Lately, I’ve been on a thriller kick, and this one sounded intriguing, so I decided to give it a try.

King of Ashes is very much in the style I expect from this author. That doesn’t mean it is predictable, just that it tells a gritty story of what things are really like for some people. Bad people trapping others through fear and intimidation into horrible acts and situations. The Carruthers family includes the father […]| Books of My Heart
I enjoy a mystery thriller sometimes and this sort where a party on an island gets cut off and then the bodies start dropping is a standard. But the circumstances and characters make it all new.
