An angsty romance in the middle of a gore-fest
Review of Dead Lez Walking by G. Benson Whenever someone recommends a book to me, my first question is always, “Are there zombies in it?” If the answer is no and unfortunately, it usually is, then I have to think about it. When this author announced on social media that she was working on a […]
An epic adventure on an inhabited island in Scotland
Review of The Island Between Us by Wendy Hudson Since Wendy Hudson’s excellent debut Four Steps, I’ve had this author on my radar and read all her books. It’s been a while since she has published anything so I was happy to check this one out. Georgia Hamilton is a survival expert running a course […]
I was impressed with the character development throughout this story
Review of Calumet by Ali Vali “Yes, time taught valuable lessons, and one of them was that forgiveness had to be felt as well as given.” Hats off to Ali Vali for changing up what I thought was going to be just another second chance romance and turning this into a study in forgiveness. The […]
This wasn’t really my kind of book
Review of Old Love by Nancy J. Hedin I thought this was okay but it wasn’t really my kind of book. While I’m a cozy mystery fan, this book had this quirky edge that never really fit right for me. I think the book had some good ideas, but the execution just kept feeling a […]

A lovely second-chance romance set in Sarina Bowen’s World of True North
Review of Hideaway by Rachel Lacey Usually, when I enjoy a book as much as I enjoyed this one, I have loads of thoughts about it. Once in a while, however, depending on what else is happening in my life or on the other books I read in the days before, I get one hundred […]

A good read with consistent pace and a decent romance
Review of Closeness by YL Wigman This was a pretty good read. I wasn’t blown away by it, but it kept my attention and I enjoyed it. It had a good consistent pace, some interesting storytelling, and a decent romance. This is my second book by Wigman and this was a much better fit for […]
