Kris (My Novelesque Life) (mynovelesquelife) | 9 comments I just finished reading Tess Gerritsen's Last to Die (Book 12) Last to Die (Rizzoli & Isles, #10) by Tess Gerritsen and found the story scary and interesting.

Dawn | 3250 comments It is sort of. They were high school sweethearts. They were apart for 20 years, but get back together to investigate a series of kidnappings. The whole series takes place over only a few months though. But so far, yes it is a romance with an HEA. Of course if I get to the end of this book and there is no HEA I might go insane. A lot of mystery/suspense and one super duper psycho dude. They are free reads on Kindle Unlimited...I got to take advantage of that for the last four books.


Kris (My Novelesque Life) (mynovelesquelife) | 9 comments I started Kelley Armstrong's Waking the Witch Waking the Witch (Women of the Otherworld, #11) by Kelley Armstrong on audio last night. I am on chapter 13 and already love it! Savannnah is fun all grown up.

This is a must read series on my list to start in Jan. I've heard so many good things about it.


Kris (My Novelesque Life) (mynovelesquelife) | 9 comments I am not a big fan of book one (Bitten) so for me the series picked up with book 2 (Stolen).

Same for me.

Sandra Hoover (sandrahoover) | 11216 comments Mod
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!


message 2308: by Jonetta (new)

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 15062 comments Mod
That's right! The 2-book rule applies:)


message 2309: by Sandra (new)

Sandra Hoover (sandrahoover) | 11216 comments Mod
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


Kris (My Novelesque Life) (mynovelesquelife) | 9 comments If it helps I loved book 3 and 4!

Sandra Hoover (sandrahoover) | 11216 comments Mod
Good to know, Kris. It does help! :)


message 2312: by Dawn (new)

Dawn | 3250 comments Shari Kay...definitely had the HEA! Plus she did a novella on the wedding which was released today. She announced the series will continue with stand alone books...so here I go on another never ending series lol.


message 2313: by Dawn (new)

Dawn | 3250 comments If you have Kindle Unlimited these are all free reads. I really liked this aeries. Has some components of In Death (work focused kick ass heroine, awesomely sexy alpha hero, great team building...including a love interest within the team). Big differences are that both H and h are in law enforcement and we are getting babies quick. The main characters are also a decade older than Eve and Roarke. There is even a Lieutenant Roark...but he turned out to be a bad cop so... I really recommend this series, I really enjoyed it. I believe Jonetta is still reading it (she doesn't binge quite as hard as I do) so I don't want to give too much away.

Dawn - are you talking about this series? The Surgeon (Rizzoli & Isles #1) by Tess Gerritsen


message 2315: by Dawn (new)

Dawn | 3250 comments No, The Faces of Evil series. I should be responding to Shari's comments, but am in the app so I can't.


message 2316: by Sandra (new)

Sandra Hoover (sandrahoover) | 11216 comments Mod
Okay...thanks.


message 2317: by Dawn (new)

Dawn | 3250 comments Is that other series similar Sandra?


message 2318: by Sandra (new)

Sandra Hoover (sandrahoover) | 11216 comments Mod
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 Last to Die (Rizzoli & Isles, #10) by Tess Gerritsen earlier.

Kris - Tell us about the Rizzoli & Isles series, please...


message 2319: by Dawn (new)

Dawn | 3250 comments Ah. No, I got hooked on the Faces of Evil series by Debra Webb and, after my usual binge reading technique, had to wait two months for the final book. Then she announced it will continue, with each book being a stand alone. But I think it will be more like In Death in that we will see the team continue to grow, fall in love, marry and have babies. I think this may have started as one of those Kindle weekly installment series.


Kris (My Novelesque Life) (mynovelesquelife) | 9 comments Sure, Sandra, my pleasure :)

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.

Thanks, Kris. Adding it to my list for 2015.

Dawn - Faces of Evil is another one I haven't gotten to yet. But I will.

Quynh (quynh_o) | 1269 comments I need to add Faces of Evil to my reading too. It's been on it for a while.


Kris (My Novelesque Life) (mynovelesquelife) | 9 comments Thanks, Jonetta :) I was hoping I was explaining it right lol.

I hope you enjoy, Sandra.

I've read the prequel and the first book in the Faces of Evil series. It ROCKS!!!!

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 ;)


message 2327: by Dawn (new)

Dawn | 3250 comments Jonetta...just wait i til you get to book 10!!! I love that she is going to continue post Spears, even though she is calling them stand alone. Same team, etc. the next book The Dying Room comes out in March. I was disappointed that she stopped putting them on audio after book 5 though. Probably has something to do with the royalty changes Audible made for self publishers.

Rachael (dleurban) | 33 comments I'm re-reading Born in Death (In Death, #23) by J.D. Robb at the moment.
I'm also starting One Foot in the Grave (Night Huntress, #2) by Jeaniene Frost & will be listening to Innocent in Death (In Death, #24) by J.D. Robb for my Thanksgiving roadtrip pretty soon.


message 2338: by Penni (new)

Penni | 816 comments Finished listening to The Book of Life (All Souls Trilogy, #3) by Deborah Harkness which was awesome. Starting audio of Lover Enshrined (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #6) by J.R. Ward .

Have completely stalled in my reading of Behold the Stars (Signal Bend, #2) by Susan Fanetti because I haven't read read a single word in over a week. Hopefully, I will get over the plague here soon and get back to it.


message 2339: by Elle (new)

Elle Rush (ellerush) | 28 comments I think my library is now out of Linda Howard books. I just finished All the Queen's Men (CIA Spies, #2) by Linda Howard (liked it), Kiss Me While I Sleep (CIA Spies, #3) by Linda Howard (would have liked a different ending) and Open Season by Linda Howard (fun!).

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.


message 2340: by Kirsten (new)

Kris (My Novelesque Life) (mynovelesquelife) | 9 comments I am reading Promises in Death (In Death, #28) by J.D. Robb and listening to Spell Bound (Women of the Otherworld, #12) by Kelley Armstrong (I should be listening to Sandstorm by James Rollins but with the cliffhanger ending in Waking the Witch I am veering off plan).
