How to Save a Life by Liz Fenton & Lisa Steinke

Narrator: Timothy Andrés Pabon I had an advance reviewer’s copy of this book, but when I saw the audio available on my Kindle account, I took the chance to listen to it instead of reading it. The narrator did a good job, but the book was not for me. It is always hard to make…

The Reckless Afterlife of Harriet Stoker by Lauren James

When I venture into fare unusual for me, I end up with some good surprises and sometimes not. This book was a miss for me. The only reason I finished the book was that the writing was nice, and the imagery created by it was very vivid. The characters, for the most part, were likeable.Harriet,…

Breeda Looney Steps Forth by Oliver Sands

The story is of Breeda who has spent the last few months caring for her dying mother and then grieving for the loss. She is adrift, and this is a sort of coming of age story for Breeda because she may finally be able to shake off the weight on her heart. The setting is…

You Let Me In by Camilla Bruce

Once again, I am faced with a mildly contradicting review. The writing from the very beginning of this strange book was atmospheric, and it had me on tenterhooks wondering what might happen. I was to be disappointed, but I will get to that part shortly. The tale begins with the introduction of an enigmatic and…

Confessions About Colton by Olivia Harvard

I will step back and explain from the beginning. Our narrator Elliot is an intriguing person. He is very realistically portrayed, and it is…

Nine Elms (Kate Marshall #1) by Robert Bryndza

I am in the minority once again. I heard so much about the author that when I saw a new series starting, I wanted to get in on it from the very beginning. This (once again) was not for me. I will talk about the story and then point out the reasons it did not…

The Missing Letters of Mrs Bright by Beth Miller

I scheduled a load of reviews for the last week, and suddenly, once again, I am at the beginning of another week, and January is already half gone! I picked this book up because I had read and liked another by the author: The Two Hearts of Eliza Bloom. This, however, was not exactly my…

Lost Girl by Holly Kammier

I read another book about a former investigative reporter just a few days before getting to this one. I usually do not compare books but considering both women have agendas for furthering their career, I had to draw one! Shelby was not a nice person, whenever I started to feel for her character, she goes…
