THE DELPHI EFFECT – Rysa Walker
Seventeen year old Anna Morgan communicates with ghosts. It happens without warning and it’s no wonder that she struggles to stay focused and the foster homes she’s been in shuttle her around and don’t want to have to deal with her. When she comes into contact with another young girl, this one brutally murdered, Anna… Continue reading

RACE THE NIGHT – Kirsten Hubbard
A small assortment of youngsters are alone in the desert with only ‘Teacher’ and ‘Nurse’ as guides and over-seers. Teacher instructs the children from old World Encyclopedia’s and tells them that ‘they are the world.’ The implication is clear that civilization as we know it has been destroyed. But the students start to question Teacher and… Continue reading

DEADLY OVERTURES – Sarah Fox
I’ve come to really enjoy mysteries and I’ve long looked forward to reading books that have a connection to music, and so Sarah Fox’s Deadly Overtures: A Music Lover’s Mystery appealed to me right from the start. But while I have found that I like mysteries, I have also discovered that I am not a… Continue reading

COUNTERPART – Hayley Stone
Counterpart is the sequel to Machinations by author Hayley Stone. You can (and should), read my review of Machinations here as I layout the requirements for a classic YA story. Counterpart continues the story of Rhona Long – the young commander in a battle against the machines. Rhona is still battling the perceptions of those around… Continue reading

DRAW THE LINE – Laurent Linn
I was attracted to this book because of the art theme. Through my high school years I was sure I was going to go on to a career in the art field, and I was nudged in that direction by my art teachers as well. I was also a nerd/geek before it was even close… Continue reading

KILLING MAINE – Mike Bond
Killing Maine is the second book in the Pono Hawkins series by Mike Bond. I reviewed the first book, Saving Paradise, here. I was a little nervous about going in to this one, given my feelings about the previous novel. Fortunately, I enjoyed this story much more. Although Pono Hawkins embraces his life in Hawaii, when… Continue reading

THE FLUX – Ferrett Steinmetz
When I read the first book in the ‘Mancer series I was only moderately impressed (see review here). I’ve glanced at the reviews on Goodreads for both the first book and this volume and it seems pretty clear that the series is a hit with most sci-fi readers. So what am I missing? Paul Tsabo is… Continue reading

THE SINISTER PIG – Tony Hillerman
Not everything I read is an ARC … I’m a pretty dedicated library user as well. I’ve long been a fan of the American Southwest. It is one of my favorite places to visit and vacation. I’ve also been aware that Tony Hillerman – a name that any bibliophile should recognize – writes mysteries set… Continue reading

THE LAST POLICEMAN – Ben H. Winters
When it appears that the world will come to a screaming end very soon because of the approaching asteroid ‘2011GV1’ most of the human race gives up. Sometimes this is through quitting jobs, or taking in one’s bucket list, and sometimes it through suicide. In fact there are so many suicides that Detective Hank Palace… Continue reading

BREW OR DIE – Caroline Fardig
My favorite coffeehouse barista, Juliet Langley, is back in action in Caroline Fardig’s Brew or Die. But Juliet is no longer just a coffeehouse manager who stumbles onto crime and sleuthing – now the red-head is an officially licensed private investigator in Nashville. This makes perfect sense in the chronology of the character through the… Continue reading

Isaiah (IQ) Quintabe is a kid from the streets in a tough part of town. Early in his life he, like many other kids his age, would shoplift from local stores and then sell his items on eBay. But IQ discovered he had another talent. A talent for solving problems. He straightens out his ways… Continue reading
