THE OPERATOR – Kim Harrison
This is the second book in a new series by popular author, Kim Harrison. Though I haven’t reviewed it here, I did do a speed read of the first book, The Drafter, so that I hopefully wouldn’t get caught off-guard in this second book. But I’m not sure it mattered too much. A ‘drafter’ is Continue reading

THE MAN OF STEEL: SUPERMAN VS THE DOOMSDAY ARMY – Laurie S. Sutton
This is a surprisingly difficult book to review. This book is aimed at a very specific target audience – youngsters who don’t typically read very much but would be attracted by the superhero subject matter. Cartoon Network watchers who are already familiar with who Superman is. The writing is extremely simple – Superman goes in Continue reading

MASQUERADING MAGICIAN – Gigi Pandian
It’s been a little over a year since I read the first book in this Accidental Alchemist Mystery series, but I remember the basic premise, and after re-reading my review of that one felt moderately caught up. The Masquerading Magician is the second book in the series and here our 300-year-old Vegan alchemist, Zoe Faust, Continue reading

REIGN OF ASH – Gail Z. Martin
Gail Z. Martin continues her ‘Ascendant Kingdoms’ series with this second book: Reign of Ash. In my review of the fist book I wrote: “These aren’t intelligent savages hacking and slashing their way through the world, these are civilized men and women in a world of war, agriculture, and magic.” It was this aspect of this epic Continue reading

IVY GET YOUR GUN – Cindy Brown
We’re back in an Ivy Meadows Mystery with Cindy Brown’s Ivy Get Your Gun. This time Ivy takes to the road for some out-of-town acting work, but she can’t escape the need to solve a mystery. The character of Ivy Meadows (aka Olive Ziegwart) is really growing now that we’re in this, her fourth mystery tale. Continue reading

THE BEAR AND THE NIGHTINGALE – Katherine Arden
I don’t normally talk about a cover, but let’s face it … this cover art is beautiful. What it suggests is a lyrical fairy tale, and that’s precisely what we get with the story inside. Author Katherine Arden (whose very name conjures up fairy tale princesses) has written a Russian fairy tale, drawing on her Continue reading

NOAH’S RAINY DAY – Sandra Brannan
I have a long back-log of ARC books that I’m trying to catch up on and as I write this, Noah’s Rainy Day by Sandra Brannan is the oldest book in my queue. One of the reasons I kept putting it off, I think, is because of the title, which sounds more like an Easy Continue reading

SWING – Rupert Holmes
I was walking through one of my local libraries recently, just looking to see what caught my eye when this book popped out at me. Rupert Holmes…a name with which I am familiar, and ‘Swing’ … one of my favorite styles of music. This looked tailor-made for me. Ray Sherwood is a jazz saxophonist. He Continue reading

THE BLUE BATH – Mary Waters-Sayer
When Kat Lind was a young, American girl living in France, studying French literature, everything about the city was romantic and artistic. She met a struggling artist, Daniel Blake. Both young, with an artist’s eye, and seeing the same beauty in things, they connected on a number of levels and even lived together for a Continue reading
