Three Books

Books have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. My father read to me at bedtime from when I was very young, even after I could read. He didn’t confine the stories to popular fairy tales. Yes, there were Little Golden Books. But there was also “Alice in Wonderland”, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”, and Sherlock Holmes stories. … Continue reading Three Books

“Gothikana” by RuNyx

I recently had two things happen that drew me to read this book. First, while at the West Virginia Book Festival, I met an author whose genre was ‘dark romance’. I had never heard of this sub-genre previously and put it on my list of authors to investigate. Later, in the same week, I visited my daughter and her family in Morgantown, West Virginia. Knowing … Continue reading “Gothikana” by RuNyx

Going Hunting

There’s nothing I enjoy more than a well written suspense filled thriller. Even if I suspect where the story is headed, if the writing is good, I’m all in. “Going Hunting”, another bite size offering from Paul White, fits that description. Once again, this author artfully develops his main character. Our nameless central figure appears to be “Everyman”. In today’s busy world where most of … Continue reading Going Hunting

“Frozen Stiff” (A Chase Adams FBI Thriller Book 1) by Patrick Logan

When I see a book that has a female FBI agent as its chief protagonist I can’t resist. The blurb describing Frozen Stiff is intriguing. Although I never heard of author Patrick Logan, I decided to give it a try. Touted as a “female sleuth” and “police procedural” story I looked forward to a compelling read. The prologue was good. It showed grit and the promise … Continue reading “Frozen Stiff” (A Chase Adams FBI Thriller Book 1) by Patrick Logan

Silent Caller (Warfield’s Landing Book 1) by Adeara Allyne

“Nic has a phone stalker AND a new guy in her life. The good cancels out the bad… Right?” I’m always up for a romantic suspense book, especially from an author I haven’t previously read. The title of this book and the brief blurb sounded interesting. Unfortunately, the story was a disappointment.             Silent Caller by Adeara Allyne had the potential to be a solid … Continue reading Silent Caller (Warfield’s Landing Book 1) by Adeara Allyne
