Sondra Sykes Meek is originally from Florida, but has lived in several locations in the United States and abroad. She is a wife and mother of two, a retired Marine Corps master sergeant, and a Project Manager in the Defense Industry.

Dark Matter was fast-paced, thought-provoking, and genuinely hard to put down. I loved the layered sci-fi premise, the problem-solving, and especially the way Blake Crouch paced the answers. I was allowed to be confused without staying confused for s ...more

DNF at roughly 40%. This one hurts because I absolutely loved the beginning. The 80s nostalgia was fantastic, the song-title chapters immediately put music in my head, and having lived in the South Carolina Lowcountry, the marsh setting was genuinely ...more

I picked up Combat Love because I wanted to immerse myself in the 1980s for a writing project, and in that respect, it absolutely delivered. Alisyn Camerota's memoir brought back more than a few memories—and triggered some surprisingly strong emotion ...more

I went into Not a Very Good Murderer expecting an investigative true-crime story about murder. It did touch on that, but with inconclusive results. This book feels much more like a human-interest piece centered on CeCe Doane, with more politics than ...more
