Imagine being dropped into a hurricane. That was my first thought when I started reading. Speeding along on a bullet train (ok it's a coal run engine and the train is named Elizabeth, but still!) and appearing mid-scene I was hanging on. It took just a short amount of time for me to start putting … Continue reading Music Shall Untune the Sky by Lou Kemp

CHICKEN SCRATCH (The Sisters, Texas Series Book 1) by Becki Willis
I picked up this book a few years ago and it has patiently been sitting on my to be read shelf in real live paper form! Packing to take a trip, I threw it in my bag. Gosh, I wish I had not waited but I’m so glad I read it. It was a lot … Continue reading CHICKEN SCRATCH (The Sisters, Texas Series Book 1) by Becki Willis
Mimic: The Foley Chronicles: Files from the 8th District by Nathan E. Bush
This is the fifth book in The Foley Chronicles, and I have enjoyed them all – which is a weird thing to say since they can be a little gruesome and twisted. Take a look at this wonderful cover – and you’ll immediately be pulled in! This author has perfected the presentation of multiple narrators … Continue reading Mimic: The Foley Chronicles: Files from the 8th District by Nathan E. Bush
Speedo Down: The Record, Book 3 by Winnie Winkle
I am laughing and loving this series. Snarky, quirky, attitude, humor, a god in a speedo, a protecting cat that grows in size and ferocious faries – what more do you need? This is a series that you need to start at the first one and work your way through. There is so much to … Continue reading Speedo Down: The Record, Book 3 by Winnie Winkle
Salt Shaken: The Record Book 2 by Winnie Winkle
I am loving this series. At a time when the world is a little bonkers, it’s nice to read about someone who has even more crazy in their life. At least I don’t have to deal with werewolves! Patra is a favorite of mine. She handles things with grace and the right dash of snark. … Continue reading Salt Shaken: The Record Book 2 by Winnie Winkle
The Art of Betrayal (Kate Hamilton Mysteries #3) by Connie Berry
I received this book as a gift, and even though I have not read the first two, I jumped in on their recommendation. WOW – I thoroughly enjoyed the main character, Kate. The very light romance was handled perfectly. This intelligent woman was portrayed in such a manner that I seriously would like her as … Continue reading The Art of Betrayal (Kate Hamilton Mysteries #3) by Connie Berry
Boogie Beach: The Record, Book 1 by Winnie Winkle
Every once in a while I read something that is so unique that it makes me want to make everyone stop and read! This author is regularly pushing the bar (just an intended pun but you have to read the book to get it!) into unique. She blew me away with her last book and … Continue reading Boogie Beach: The Record, Book 1 by Winnie Winkle
Murder At A Seance by P. Austin Heaton
For my birthday I decided to gift myself a couple of books in paper format. I put a plea on Twitter for historical fiction, and this author responded with this lovely suggestion. I enjoyed the main character, Sadie Brown, and her strong backbone and intelligence in an era when women were just starting to become … Continue reading Murder At A Seance by P. Austin Heaton
Missing or Dead – A Tracey Marks Mystery #3 by Ellen Shapiro
I have read every book in this series and it just keeps getting better. However, I do have to admit that this was my favorite so far. I would even go so far as to say read it first. The author gives the reader enough backstory that it could be read on its own. However … Continue reading Missing or Dead – A Tracey Marks Mystery #3 by Ellen Shapiro
Void of Power: From The Ashes by Andrew C. Raiford
In full disclosure, I had the pleasure of editing this book. I edit, beta read, and review many books (over 300 in the last two years). But specific authors and their works stand out – and this one certainly is in that category. The author is writing from a vast knowledge covering a wide variety … Continue reading Void of Power: From The Ashes by Andrew C. Raiford
