Malorie by Josh Malerman

Narrated by Katherine Mangold This is the first audiobook which I downloaded from NetGalley when they added them to their galleys earlier this month. I am so happy with this new change, although I have to work on my profile section in order to qualify for the ones which are not downloadable and have to…

The Fire Thief by Debra Bokur

This book is a cross between a police procedural and a cozy mystery. It is supposed to be at least; however, it works better as an immersive experience of Hawaiian culture. It has a dual person narrative which could have been tapered to a single person if the focus was only on the mystery, but…

Such Big Teeth (The Darkwood Series #2) by Gabby Hutchinson Crouch

I reviewed the previous book of the series earlier on the blog. Such Big Teeth(The Darkwood Series #2)by Gabby Hutchinson Crouch I had formulated a sensible review for this book then I happened to look at my review for the first. I realised that I had not put that much thought into what I was going…

The Disaster Tourist by Yun Ko-eun

Translated by :Lizzie Buehler  It is rare for the last chapter(s) of a book to change my mind positively. I have had moments where I get keyed up for a finale that never comes or is a poor shadow of what it could have been. This was a different kind of switch. I was halfway…

I succumbed, once again to try out a new 'cozy mystery' series. This time, luck was by my side, and this particular first book is promising. We have an amateur sleuth, Jane Darrowfield, who sees her preoccupation in terms of her age and labels it in a self-deprecating manner. We are given a birds-eye view…

Roanoke Ridge A Creature X Mystery by J.J. Dupuis

Despite reading the blurb, I did not retain the specifics, and when I actually got around to reading the book, I surprised by the storyline. The story has a vague form of narration from the beginning that makes you feel like the beginning was not when you entered the story and that there has been…

Fool’s Assassin and Fool’s Quest (The Fitz and The Fool Trilogy #1,#2) by Robin Hobb

This series probably defines my foray into blogging. I was hoping to work my way through all the books in HK where the libraries had copies but I was not forward thinking enough to reserve all together. With the third wave closures, I am left with one book remaining! I read these two as separate…

The Girl Beneath the Sea (Underwater Investigation Unit #1) by Andrew Mayne

I have reviewed another series by the author previously on the blog:     Narrated by Susannah Jones  I keep hoping for a change, thinking that I will write more regularly but it has yet to happen. Maybe today is the day. I went back to reading multiple books simultaneously to kickstart the next binge of…
