We are now on book four of Kelley Armstrong's "Rip Through Time" series—and if we include the fact that there are least two novellas, I have visited these characters many times over the past few years. I feel deeply immersed in the world and am excited to see where Mallory, Duncan, Isla and Hugh take … Continue reading Book Review: Death At A Highland Wedding
I love a series that doesn't start to lose steam once it's a few books in. So far, I've read Kelley Armstrong's A Rip Through Time as well as the second book in the series The Poisoner's Ring (and, actually, a novella that is book 2.5 in the series called Cocktails & Chloroform that I didn't review … Continue reading Book Review: Disturbing the Dead
The fourth book in the Finlay Donovan series is here and though I'm honestly not sure how many there are going to be, I've got to say that if loose ends don't start getting tied up, this reader might start losing her patience. Though the whole being-mistaken-for-a-contract-killer thing was funny for a while, now things … Continue reading Book Review: Finlay Donovan Rolls The Dice
In the third installment of Finlay Donovan's story, she is still trying to figure out who contract killer EasyClean is—and she has to figure it out fast before mob boss Feliks gets impatient and takes it out on her. Plus, we're finally getting a little more insight into her sidekick/nanny/accountant, Vero, which I'm excited about … Continue reading Book Review: Finlay Donovan Jumps The Gun
Finlay Donovan's story continues over (at least) four books, and this is the second one. I didn't love Finlay Donovan is Killing It as much as I thought I would, but I'm invested now and need to see what kind of hijinx our main character and her nanny Vero get up to. When the first … Continue reading Book Review: Finlay Donovan Knocks ‘Em Dead
I have been hearing about the Finaly Donovan series basically since it came out in 2021. At first, it didn't seem like it was my thing (you know I'm more of a romance or YA girl), but as time has passed and people in my circle keep talking about it, I figured I should try. … Continue reading Book Review: Finlay Donovan Is Killing It
It's been a long time since I've read a series—at least one that intentionally picks up where the previous book left off. So when I received the ARC for Kelley Armstrong's A Rip Through Time last year, I was actually a little disappointed that there wasn't a conclusion to the big mystery and that I was going … Continue reading Book Review: The Poisoner’s Ring
If you read this blog regularly, you'll think I'm in a million book clubs based on how I start these intros, but I promise you that I'm only in two. The Night Shift was one group's pick for March, and though I couldn't get my hands on a copy until now, I still wanted to … Continue reading Book Review: The Night Shift
I don't read a lot of mystery or detective stories—and after I read a good one I'm always wondering why that is because I generally enjoy them. The same goes for historical fiction. When I came across the description for A Rip Through Time (actually, let's face it, it was actually the beautiful cover that … Continue reading Book Review: A Rip Through Time
I'm not going to lie, I haven't picked up a book in the mystery/thriller/whodunnit genre for a while. I read The Girl on the Train and The Woman in the Window around the same time (and we all know Gone Girl is still playing a role in pop culture these days), and I was just finding the genre to be … Continue reading Book Review: The Perfect Alibi
