Same for me.

I'll keep that in mind when I start the series. Have to at least give it 2 books before deciding how I like it! Thanks!
Sometimes, that's hard to do...especially if I'm wanting to dnf the first book. But I will apply that rule in this case! lol



I don't know, Dawn. I'm thinking about starting it & thought it was the series you were talking about. Kris mentioned she was reading book #10
earlier.
Kris - Tell us about the Rizzoli & Isles series, please...

Rizzoli and Isles is a series about a Boston homicide detective (Jane Rizzoli) and Medical Examiner (Maura Isles) who work together to solves cases.
There is a TV series based on this but it is very loosely based on the books. The TV series is a bit lighter (think Castle) with the characters a bit different than the novel counterparts (think Bones and Kathy Reichs Temperance Brennan series - tho R&I do stay a bit truer to the books).
The first 3 books in this series blew me away they are so well written and very gritty - reminds me of a mix of Karin Slaughter and Lisa Gardner. It's best to start this series with book one as there will e spoilers in later books. I would characterize this series as suspense thriller with a side of romance.

I've read the first two and you nailed the comparison, Kris.

I've read a couple of Webb's standalone and enjoyed them so I need to get to this series. Especially when Jonetta puts "rocks" in caps ;)

Now I'll try moving on to another rom/susp writer. There was a Tess Gerritsen book on sale on Amazon recently, which I think I bought. And you all have spoken well of Colleen Hoover too.
