The Bookstore Diaries by Susan Mallery 5 Stars

 

Enjoyed this book. Much happening, but the characters were likable and loved Ramon. We did jump at the end forward a couple of yearss for the epilogue, but all is well. This is a definite addition to your TBR list.

An Heir to Blood And Power by Blair Babylon 5 stars

 

No author handles royal billionaire heirs like Blair Babylon. This series is no exception. The second book in this series has the the greedy evil nemesis spiraling around our main characters.

Where the Girls Were by Kate Schatz

 

And history repeats. This is a heart rending read and happened many times during my youth. We meet eleven young girls who must be “hidden” due to their “condition” and so the story goes. The youth of today, won’t appreciate what we had until it is gone and unfortunately it is going the way of the past. Most of these girls worst problems, besides the partner that helped put them in the untenable situation, are their own family and the system. This is an excellent window into the past and now our future. A definite reminder and good read. Add this to your TBR list. 

Stolen in Death by J.D. Robb

 

Another outstanding whodunnit in the Eve and Roarke saga. My murder suspect was correct, however, there was an unexpected twist and this made the story even more intriguing. An old nemesis makes an appearance and Eve needs to pay attention to her surroundings. As always Eve is on track to take down all the bad guys. Put your feet up and enjoy

At Midnight Comes the Cry by Julia Spencer-Fleming

 

This is my first read for this author and enjoyed this suspenseful thriller very much. A lot happening in this, along with some very bad badguys. I enjoyed the interactions of the main characters, each having their own unique character and problems. Claire and Russ play off each other well and are a formidable team. There is much to unpack here and much of it current with today’s world views and events. Great read and addition to your TBR list.

The Prince of Smoke and Mirrors br Blair Babylon 5 Stars

 

Absolutely an awesome beginning to a new series by one of my favorite authors.  We meet Lexi and Nico, who under different circumstances would never cross paths, and their worlds collide, with a resounding smack. There is much to unpack in this first book, both are surrounded by lowlife characters and the people they trust most are probably the worst, in Lexi’s case this is proven, in Nico’s the answers are still pending, we shall discover more as things progress. Grab the first of this newest series and sit back for the ride. 

Excellent read.

 

Everything comes to a conclusion in this last and most anticipated book of this trilogy.  Sonya, Cleo, Owen and Trey are facing a paranormal crisis and the crescendo is awesome, well thought out and well executed. If you have not read the previous two books, grab them and enjoy this ride. It is a definite wonderful adventure and addition to your TBR list.
