I finished this chilling thriller - could not put it down! My Review

Days of Blood and starlight by Lani Taylor

Anita how are three of your books going?

Young Adult isn't my normal genre, but JA held me captivated in this thriller! 5 stars My Review

My first books of the year are winners! First I read Fever by Joan Swan. Someone recommended this book to me (I don't remember who it was), and I really enjoyed it.

Then I read Cry Wolf by Maggie Shayne. The Brown & DeLuca series is back. I'm so glad!

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

My first book of 2020 was by Rick Yancey.

I finished listening to Some Choose Darkness by Charlie Donlea and he’s got another good one! Here’s my review.

I finished Golden in Death by J.D. Robb, In Death #50, and it was a fitting story for this momentous milestone in the series! Here’s my review.

I’m listening to The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware and reading Playing Dead by Allison Brennan, Prison Break Trilogy #3.

The New Iberia Blues by James Lee Burke

It's a good murder mystery so far. I have no real idea who the killer is yet.

My first book of 2020 was The Tuscan Child.

I finished Golden in Death and loved it! Robb exceeded my high expectations with this one! 5 Stars! My Review

I love all the In Death books, but that's good to know Sandra. Thank you!!

I've started collecting them for when my granddaughter gets older. Right now she is 8 and is reading the Harry Potter set that I got her for Christmas along with the complete bedding set.. I am so hoping she will turn into a mystery fan.

It’s so nice that she can still deliver a 5-star book in this series after 49 books. The 50th was definitely golden.

I have just finished,After Anna, By Alex Lake. Definitely a must read for any fan of psychological suspense/thriller. I finished it this morning, this afternoon I started, crisscross, by James Patterson.

I finally finished "Naked in Death". I had a setback where the audiobook suddenly got deleted from Youtube, so I had to improvise with an online copy.
I enjoyed this story. Reading about Eve's character arch before she and Roarke get together was very fun. She is a feisty;troubled; independent; stubborn;relentless; serious; driven; and passionate. Roarke though I believe will be very crucial in getting her to acknowledge and talk about her abusive past. I'm looking forward to reading the next books and witnessing their relationship and dynamics grow. Also, now I know where the cat came from.

Jonetta I’m a huge fan of J.D. Robb

Just finished Wild Justice I really loved it. I started Double Play

Patty wrote: "Just finished Wild Justice I really loved it. I started Double Play"

I absolutely loved Wild Justice. Double Play is a good one too. Right now I'm reading Perfect Victim. I wish Kelley Armstrong would write more of this series.

Winter is a great time to curl up and read a book. I've been working my way through a couple of them.

First I read About Last Night by Samantha Hunter. I didn't care for the plot of this book. And, I thought the secondary romance was better than the one between the main characters.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I listened to Murder at Feathers & Flair by Lee Strauss. Good cozy mystery. The narrator does a great job with the various accents.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Last night I read The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang. This one was very different. I'll definitely be looking for more by this author.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I have been reading the The billionaire Sinclair series by J.S Scott and absolutely loving them. Been really enjoying her books and looking forward to reading more from her.

I recently finished listening to Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert and really enjoyed it.



I'm currently listening to The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World written and narrated by Melinda Gates.

Me too. I really enjoyed this series as well. Great characters and romance. I am currently reading her latest Rockton series, I like it but not as much as Nadia and Jack.

I finished listening to The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware and highly enjoyed this story. Here’s my review.

I finished Playing Dead by Allison Brennan, Prison Break Trilogy #3, and it was an exciting end to the series. Here’s my review.

I’m listening to Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and reading Hard Asset by Pamela Clare, Cobra Elite #2.

My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I just finished, vicious, the seventh book in the, faces of evil series by Deborah Webb. Tomorrow I will be starting, regretting you, by Colleen Hoover.

I can’t wait to start Regretting You.

Just finished reading . I absolutely am loving all of the Sinclairs and highly recommend this series. Lots of laughs and tears.

I recently finished and it was a thought-provoking, sometimes heartbreaking, but also inspiring read, that I'm still thinking about and processing...

I'm currently listening to by Sabaa Tahir (which is the third book in the Ember Quartet and read by multiple narrators) and enjoying it. I really like narrator Steve West's voice. I found this on his Twitter from August of last year and it made me laugh so I'm sharing it with all of you:

Just some of my August:

A hulking fae warrior.
A billionaire playboy Scotsman.
A serial killer who feeds on pain.
A huntsman turned vampire.
The narrator of a dystopian dragonland.
An Interstellar Caveman.

If "life imitates art", I may be in trouble...

I finished listening to Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and enjoyed the story but not the narrator. Here’s my review.

I’m listening to Dear Wife by Kimberly Belle.

This week I read Perfect Victim by Kelley Armstrong. It's a great addition to the Nadia Stafford series.

Then I finished The Restorer by Amanda Stevens. Loved it!

This is what I started reading this morning.
I Married a Serial Killer, by Amy Cross,

I'm listening to Dear Wife About half way hope to finish today or maybe tomorrow morning (tonight is movie night!)

I will start You Belong to Me if I get it from the library. I have moved from 3rd on 3 books to 1st on 3 books!!

Reading the last of my Christmas story next in line is Kingdom Fairytale and then Fur Fox’s Sake

I finished, I married a serial killer. Overall it was pretty good, but the ending fell a little flat.

Can’t wait to discuss Dear Wife!

This is what I have started:
The Rescue (Ryan Decker #1), by Steven Konkoly.

Here is the description for my above post:
Former CIA operative turned mercenary for hire Ryan Decker’s specialty is rescuing kidnap victims. Hired by an influential US senator to liberate his daughter from a human-trafficking ring, Decker never anticipated sabotage or that the assault could go so disastrously wrong. The hostage is dead. His team is wiped out, and so are their families, including Decker’s own wife and son—eliminated one by one by the Russian mafia. And he’s survived to take the fall. When he’s inexplicably freed soon into a ten-year sentence in federal prison, Decker suspects another setup. And private investigator Harlow Mackenzie knows he’s right. She has evidence that a power greater than the Russian mob was behind the raid that ruined Decker’s life. The next move in a nationwide cat-and-mouse game of high-level sedition is up to them. Fueled by revenge and an obsession to clear his name, Decker has only one mission: to destroy a growing conspiracy before it’s too late.

I finished listening to Dear Wife by Kimberly Belle and boy was it a puzzler! Great twists near the end. Here’s my review.

I finished Hard Asset by Pamela Clare, Cobra Elite #2, and I cannot applaud it enough! Here’s my 5-star review.

I’m listening to The Neighbor by Lisa Gardner, Detective D. D. Warren #3, and reading The Highlander’s Christmas Quest by Anna Campbell, The Lairds Most Likely #5.

I finished listening to The Neighbor by Lisa Gardner, Detective D. D. Warren #3, and she’s finally front and center for the first time. Here’s my review.

I’m listening to The Highlander by Kerrigan Byrne, Victorian Rebels #3, and I’m already close to finishing! It’s so good!

Jonetta I’m a huge fan of Lisa Gardner

I can see why!

Today I finished, bitter Falls, by Rachel Kane. This is the lightest book in the, Stillhouse lake series. Each book is better than the previous. I can’t wait to read the next book. I only hope it doesn’t take another year before it is released. Rachel Kane has definitely raised her game with this book.

I’m looking forward to that one!
