Shrouded in mystery and magic, The Promise of Deception is set in fog-shrouded London at the turn of the 20th Century. Tensions between the Irish and English are at a peak. Just 30 years have passed since Jack the Ripper’s unsolved crimes puzzled Scotland Yard. Jessica Sly’s debut novel was […]
One test of a good book for me is how well I can stay connected with it even when I’m reading in a busy place. Especially while I’m waiting for the results of something I’m concerned about. If I can stay invested in the story under those circumstances – it […]
Looking back, I was amazed when I realized Deborah Grace White only published her first book last year! The quality of her writing far surpasses that of many authors who have been writing much longer. Wren and Basil’s story captivated me from the very beginning. I vividly pictured the moment […]
I have thoroughly enjoyed the Rise of the Anointed series and eagerly awaited its conclusion. Which is more of a new beginning of sorts – the ending left things open for an entirely new set of adventures. Sweet! The characters I’ve grown to love throughout the series are back and […]
I don’t know how Dana Mentink does it! She has such a gift for writing, combining riveting danger and romance with characters who come to life in her stories. Yukon Justice is no exception! I loved the setting of the reindeer farm and learning a bit about these magnificent creatures! […]
Vickie McDonough’s Romance in the Badlands series was re-released earlier this year as individual books. And, now it’s available as the full collection in “one” print book, which is always a great deal. These stories follow the McFarland siblings, and each one builds a little on the previous ones. While […]
One thing I enjoy about reading a series like Brothers in Arms is learning about characters through more than just one book. I was looking forward to reading Molly and Wyatt’s story… I was quite surprised to see how plucky Molly was! In the previous stories, she seemed content to […]
I have found that I have a fondness for stories of the men and women who did codebreaking during the Second World War. Instead of taking place in England as others I’ve read, The Cryptographer’s Dilemma takes place in the United States. And most of the story takes place outside […]
I have enjoyed these stories in the Dread Penny Society series very much! Just as in the other stories of the series, The Merchant and the Rogue is three stories in one. Two of them penny dreadfuls in their entirety. The author of one of them, Brogan Donnelly, is the […]
I’m not familiar at all with Todd M. Johnson. When I saw this book and the synopsis, I was intrigued. I’m looking forward to reading this book in the future. Read on for a synopsis and an excerpt of this historical legal thriller. Excerpt Madeleine listened. From a distance behind […]
Words fail to adequately express my riotous emotions while reading Yours is the Night. However, I will attempt to do justice to this hauntingly beautiful tribute to the men who sacrificed so much in the Great War. It is one of the best stories I’ve read. I could tell from […]
Mary Connealy has a gift for drawing readers into her stories quickly with surprising circumstances and a compelling writing style. Some of the situations in her stories are far-fetched, and yet she makes them work… Falcon is fascinating! I could almost hear his drawl as he narrated his portions of […]
