Audiobook review: Gray Seas by Hailey Edwards Gray Seas picks up Rue and Asa’s story roughly four days after the conclusion of the previous book. The team is trying to draw out Luca so they can give her to the Director, getting Rue back in his good graces and on track to make changes at Black Hat. Rue also worries for Aiden, who agreed to serve as Calixta’s heir. Overall, I really enjoyed Gray Seas and like the direction the series is heading. The action is intense right from the get go, when a bomb nearly kills Rue and her friends. It appears that there are multiple assassins after Rue, Asa ..read more

Audiobook review: Extreme Honor by Piper J. Drake February TBR optional theme: Furry Friends As someone who doesn’t read Romantic Suspense often (never), I found Extreme Honor an enjoyable story, and I’m glad I finally read it. This month’s optional TBR Challenge theme is Furry Friends, but I also needed to read a RomSup for my Bingo Romance Reading Challenge, so this book fit perfectly! At first, I was worried I wasn’t going to enjoy the story because the book opens with a confrontation between our two main characters, and meanwhile, the person speaking, in this case, the male hero David, i ..read more

Meanwhile, Angel senses something off with a body they collect at a secret biotech lab, and when a masked man steals the corpse from the morgue, the head coroner lets the press lay blame on Angel.

Audiobook review: The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James I fell in love with Simone St. James’ way of telling a thriller with paranormal undercurrents when I listened to The Book of Cold Cases and went on to make my way through her backlist so that I arrived at The Sun Down Motel just in time for spooky season reading. The promise of a chilling atmosphere and mystery were not disappointing.  Split between two timelines of 1982 and 2017, The Sun Down Motel tells the story of not-quite runaway, Viv, and her niece, Carly, who came looking years after Viv’s disappearance. I chose the audio v ..read more

Audiobook review: Witches Get Stuff Done by Molly Harper Witches Get Stuff Done is the first in a new paranormal mystery/romance series by Molly Harper. I adore the plucky heroines and silly humor found in Ms. Harper’s other paranormal series, and Starfall Point appears to follow in the footsteps of those stories. The book introduces Riley Denton Everett, who finds herself on the small island of Starfall Point in hopes of meeting the sister of her recently deceased mother – an aunt she never knew existed. Although her aunt passes before Riley makes it to her home at Shadow House, Ri ..read more
