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
Somehow, it's been over a month since I've put up a review. I'm not really sure what happened, but the month of August flew by, and I didn't finish a book! Was it the book's fault? A little bit, but I was really intrigued by where the plot was going to go, so I think … Continue reading Book Review: My Murder
Ivy Owens, the author of Scandalized, is actually a pseudonym for very popular writer Lauren Billings of Christina Lauren fame. I was in the second I found out because I love everything Christina and Lauren write. Plus, who doesn’t love a story about a regular person having a whirlwind affair with a celebrity? Exhausted and … Continue reading Book Review: Scandalized
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
This is the second book that I chose for the October Amazon First Reads. I rarely read books that I haven't had on my TBR list for years, that weren't recommended to me or that I haven't scrutinized through NetGalley before deciding whether I wanted to read them. I thought a good twisty murder mystery-type … Continue reading Book Review: Over Her Dead Body
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
If you've been following along with me so far, you know that I love a good YA novel. Not only do I think that YA authors create amazing worlds and fully developed characters, but the genre often manages to cover some pretty deep topics in a realistic way that I really appreciate—and Jenn Bennett's Serious … Continue reading Book Review: Serious Moonlight
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
