I finished Concealed in Death by J.D. Robb and here's my review.
I'm now reading Strain by Amelia C. Gormley.

and i read your review jonetta! fantastic review ! looking forward to reading the book :)




Will be trying to finish


I'm actually really enjoying it. When it first came out, I was "off" King. But last year I read Joyland for a book club and really enjoyed it. Then another book club starting reading this series, they finished all the books... but I'm really enjoying it.
It can be kind of dark. (It is King, after all.) But it's not horror... more of a dreamquest.

Susan, Tears of Tess is on my reading horizon!! I fall so deep into the dark, emotional reads. I've been trying to hold off on this one while I finish some others first because I know when I start it, I will be lost in it. I was that way with Captured in the Dark and that series and also - the Consequences series. Could not stop until I finished every single book. I'm good with the dark reads as long as they eventually give me a hea of some kind.

You got it! That's even when my name is printed just above. Go figure!
I finished Strain by Amelia C. Gormley and am now reading Wrong Place, Wrong Time by Tilia Klebenov Jacobs.


You are a reading machine, Jonetta! I don't know how you do it plus write reviews on all of them. I'm lucky if I get reviews written on every 3rd or 4th book or so that I read.
Do you read a few and then write all the reviews at once or do you read/write, read/write, ...??
It depends. Some I write as soon as I've finished. Most of the time it's driven by the blog deadlines. Jennifer and I keep a calendar so that keeps me honest. I've got some still to write, however, from last month that weren't on the blog calendar. That bugs me so I try now to write them within a week. I've taken to jotting down some points I want to remember while reading, which makes it easier.

I try to write them as soon as I finish the book but it's just not possible sometimes...RL has an annoying way of interfering!

Today I plan on reading my interlibrary loan, the next book (for me) in the Dalziel & Pascoe mystery series Dialogues Of The Dead

I really enjoyed it, Lisa. A good mix of suspense, romance, angst, love, and second chances.

Yeah. This is going into the "miss" pile instead of a hit. Oh well.

This seems to be the new "it" series. Why?

It's just that good! I'm not always a fan of fantasy but this one makes me a believer. For one thing, the author doesn't take up 1/3 of the book building a fantasy world. You get the drift of the world as you read, through the characters eyes. And what a cast of characters! The synopsis doesn't begin to describe the depth and feeling of this book. There is an ominous feel all the way, danger to the MC but you're not immediately sure of the source, an unbelievable supporting cast of characters both good & bad, humorous banter which I love, and lots of action. It was a wee bit slow in the beginning (for me) but I was soon swept into this world and then couldn't turn the pages fast enough! If there is such a thing as Fantasy Suspense...then this is it. And you know how I love my suspense! I'm trying to write my review today. It's really hard to put into words.
Thanks, Sandra. You put it into really good words. I think I'll give the audiobook a shot (I like this format for this genre).
