Today’s review is of Kelly Ohlert’s upcoming release, To Get the Other Side, expected this December. I was able to get an advanced e-copy via Netgalley. What initially drew me to this book was the cover; the first thing I saw was a chicken, being chased by a concerned woman, and I knew that femaleContinue reading “To Get to the Other Side”

Freaks
This is a review of Tess Gerritsen’s short story Freaks, but since this is a very short review, I’ve also included a short list of her books that, due to the graphic and detailed, disturbing elements of the novel and plot itself, I have chosen not to review in depth. With this list I haveContinue reading “Freaks”
A Murder is Announced
A Murder is Announced is the fifth murder mystery novel in Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple series. From the summary on the back cover of the book, I knew it sounded like an interesting plot, and nothing I’d read before. It took a few chapters for me to really get into it, but after that, IContinue reading “A Murder is Announced”
Rumple Buttercup
Matthew Gray Gubler’s Rumple Buttercup, while a children’s book, is a wonderful story for a person of any age. With incredibly interesting artwork, unusual characters, and short sentences on the pages, this is an easy book to read to your children–or yourself–while keeping interest. To younger children it may simply be a fun story toContinue reading “Rumple Buttercup”
The Silent Girl
The Silent Girl is the ninth in Tess Gerritsen’s murder mystery series, Rizzoli & Isles. It brings back all the character’s we’re used to, along with now retired Detective Vince Korsak, Angela Rizzoli, and the easily hate-able Frankie Rizzoli. Along with these characters come the new ones; police officer Johhny Tam, who is eager toContinue reading “The Silent Girl”
The Mephisto Club
The Mephisto Club by Tess Gerritsen. This is book six in the series, and after reading The Keepsake (the seventh), I was hesitant to start this one. That said, I am glad I did! This was by far one of the best mysteries I’ve read in a long time. That said, it does have it’sContinue reading “The Mephisto Club”
Book review; Lux Beginnings
Lux Beginnings by Jennifer L. Armentrout; Obsidian and Onyx from the Lux series. Obsidian rating: eight of ten stars. Onyx rating: three of ten stars. Obsidian (book one in the Lux series) was one of my favorite books of 2019. It’s a brilliantly written book that brought human-alien interaction to the pages in a wayContinue reading “Book review; Lux Beginnings”
Book review; A Date with Murder
A Date with Murder by Donald Bain (and Jessica Fletcher). I’ll rate this one two out of five stars. While I did finish the book, it wasn’t without some frustration. It was a disappointment compared to others in the series. While it brought back characters we know and enjoyed from the original television series, thereContinue reading “Book review; A Date with Murder”
