RELEASE DAY! Jennie's Review This series has long been one of my favorites, so when I learned this would be the final installment, I was genuinely sad to see it come to an end. But what an ending it is. Everything I've loved about these books—the deep character connections, the sense of wonder, the magic, … Continue reading Annie Abbott and the Dungeons of Rognap Nar by Isabelle Nelson and Michael Nelson
Mortal Risk by Lester James Nixon
Jennie's Review We all love to grumble about the insurance industry and the endless hoops, forms, and fine print that come with it. But at the end of the day, insurance can also be the thing that saves people when life completely falls apart. That’s what makes this book so unsettling. Here, the very people … Continue reading Mortal Risk by Lester James Nixon
404: Apocalypse Not Found by Lisa Orban
Jennie's Review I work with this author regularly, and it’s always an adventure. While she tends to live life in full sprinkler mode — all over the place at all times — I’m more of a “check the trail marker before taking the next step and make a packing list first” kind of person. So … Continue reading 404: Apocalypse Not Found by Lisa Orban
Loosestrife for Porcupines by D. M. Gordon
Jennie's Review Poetry is always such a varied reading experience for me. Sometimes a collection connects deeply, and sometimes it simply doesn’t land. But when this book crossed my desk, and I realized many of the pieces leaned into prose poetry, my curiosity immediately kicked in. One of the most impactful reads for me was … Continue reading Loosestrife for Porcupines by D. M. Gordon
After the Sky Falls by Arden Fang
Jennie's Review Dark fantasy can wander down so many paths, and this one doesn’t follow a straight line so much as it spins a web. Character lives unfold at various times and ages, yet the author never lets the reader get lost. Through subtle clues and smart chapter openings, you’re given just enough of a … Continue reading After the Sky Falls by Arden Fang
Body Man: A Thriller by Al Pessin
Jennie's Review This one leans in hard—and I mean hard—to the “what if things really spiral?” question. Al Pressin delivers a deep dive into both sides of the American political divide without playing favorites. It’s a cautionary tale that feels a little too close to reality for comfort. Told from two points of view—both adult … Continue reading Body Man: A Thriller by Al Pessin
The Winter Verdict (Book 2) by Dan Buzzetta
Jennie's Review I’d barely caught my breath from book one when this sequel popped onto my radar—and honestly, I was ready for it. Familiar faces are back, but the setting? Total shift. We go from the high-powered buzz of D.C. to a small town wrapped around a ski resort, which definitely made me pause. Would … Continue reading The Winter Verdict (Book 2) by Dan Buzzetta

And let’s be honest, … Continue reading Dynasty of Deceit, Cassie Maddox Mystery Book Two, Timothy R. Baldwin
Travers Bend (The Newcome Family Saga Book 1) by Richard S. Brown
Jennie's Review This was such a lovely, settle-in-and-sigh kind of read. There’s just enough drama and adventure to keep things moving as one family sets out to build a new life in a brand-new community in the 1850s—but what really shines is the heart of it all: the family itself. No matter the time period … Continue reading Travers Bend (The Newcome Family Saga Book 1) by Richard S. Brown
Three-Sided Heart by Lisa Reifsnider
My Review Full disclosure—I’ve had a front-row seat for this one. This author is not only a dear friend but also a client, and I’ve watched her journey from that first spark of an idea through learning the craft, tackling revisions (and more revisions), and navigating all the starts and stops that come with bringing … Continue reading Three-Sided Heart by Lisa Reifsnider
