What series are you reading?
I'm currently reading
and I really love Cindy Gerard and am so happy that the group has finally caught up to where I am in this fantastic series.
I finished
, which was a 600+ page book, and now I've started
on audio (not exactly a holiday read, lol) and
in regular book format.
I finished Christmas with the Sheriff by Victoria James, Shadow Creek, Montana #1, and liked this sweet but emotionally tough holiday story. Here's my review.
I'm now reading Stranded by Alex Kava, the final book in the Maggie O'Dell series.

Death by Didgeridoo has me intrigued!
The author, Barbara Venkataraman, gifted me with
Jamie Quinn Mystery Collection: Box Set Books 1-3 which includes
Death by Didgeridoo. I hope to read it January.

I've recently listened to a few audiobooks --
(book 3 in Darkest London series). I enjoyed the story and loved the narrator.
. (book 1 in Thunder Point) I quite liked it.
. (book 4 in the Graveyard Queen series) I enjoyed it but not as much as I expected to. Maybe I should have done some re-reading to refresh my memory before diving in again.I currently listening to
(book 1 in the Innkeeper series). I love Ilona Andrews and so far this book has not disappointed.I've read the first two books in Kelley Armstrong's Age of Legends series and I'm almost through the final book in the trilogy. It's no surprise to me that I'm loving it as I seem to be a bit of an Armstrong fan girl :).
Sorry for the lengthy update! I'll try to update in smaller chunks from now on :).

No issues with lengthy updates!
When I got to The Sinner, I had to look over the character descriptions again to refresh my memory, too. I'm going to send you an invite to the group we set up to house some of the old Shelfari character descriptions by series.

Did you enjoy The Sinner, Jonetta? I want to read it but feel a little indifferent after The Visitor. I can't even pinpoint why I was so underwhelmed by The Visitor. And then when I read the description for The Sinner I noticed a big shift in main characters. That put me off further :).

I wasn't underwhelmed but I wasn't overwhelmed either. I didn't like the direction it headed and am admittedly dragging my feet in starting the next book (even though it's on this month's plan).

Do you have an advance copy of book 6? The Visitor is #4 and The Sinner is #5. I'm not sure if we're talking about the same book or different ones :).
I was talking about The Visitor. The Sinner is next up for me. I see the mistake I made in my earlier message.

I finished Stranded by Alex Kava, Maggie O'Dell #11, and here's my review. This is the end of the series for me as I won't be reading the spinoff.
I'm now reading The Good Goodbye by Carla Buckley.

So we were both not wowed by The Visitor. If you've read the description for The Sinner there seems to be one very significant change to the cast of characters. I think that's what is holding me back from starting. It has good ratings though. I'll be interested to hear what you think if you get to it before I do.
Jonetta wrote: "I've read reviews and that's exactly what's holding me back. [spoilers removed]"You're probably right. That would make sense! It's going to be hard to read though. I couldn't remember how to do the spoiler feature so I was skirting around my point. :)

You ladies are killing me! I've read the first three books but I'm waiting until book 6 is published to read these next three in one go. I'm trying really hard to resist peeking under that spoiler, lol. Your comments make me wary though of reading more. The series is ending at book six so hopefully it ties things up in a satisfactory way.
I finished The Good Goodbye by Carla Buckley, a really disturbing story but a good one. Here's my review.
I finished listening to The Narrows by Michael Connelly, Harry Bosch #12, another wonderful trip back to Harry's world. Here's my review.
I'm now reading Under the Wire by Cindy Gerard, The Bodyguards #6, and listening to The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware.

I second, Mary Beth on it being a great series. Erica reminds me a little bit of Kate Burkholder (Linda Castillo).
I am reading Dark Water (Book 3) and listening to The Fifth Witness by Connelly. And enjoying both very much.
Mary wrote: "Yes she does! I agree with you! She is gutsy just like her."Also, always having to go against the bureaucrats to solve the crime! A bit like Bosch too, lol.
I finished Under the Wire by Cindy Gerard, The Bodyguards #5, and loved it! 4.5 stars. Here's my review.
I'm now reading Explosive Forces by D.D. Ayres, K-9 Rescue #5.

My last audiobook of the year is
Loving Evangeline by Linda Howard. I usually like this author's books, but I couldn't stand the hero in this one.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This week I also read
The Narrows by Michael Connelly. Another excellent addition to his Harry Bosch series.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Yesterday I finished
Dead By Midnight: An I-Team Christmas by Pamela Clare. It's the last book in the I-Team series. This author certainly knows how to finish a series!My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I finished
, book 2 in Whiskey Creek series. I picked it because it was a holiday read, and I really enjoyed it. If the next book wasn't called When Summer Comes I'd dive right in. Can't do a summer book at Christmas time.
Goodreads lists the city and state a book takes place in. I often wish that they would list the time of year too. Reading summertime books in the dead of winter is just wrong (same for reading wintertime books in summer). A lot of time you don't know until you are deep into the book.

I finished Dark Water by Robert Bryndza. I am now caught up on the series. I really enjoy this series and can't wait till the next book.

It is #2 in the series, but reads like a standalone. It is an ARC and will publish tomorrow. I'm at 60% and it's a 4-star so far. Second chance romance and a great mystery plot.
Kill Without Shame
by Alexandra Ivy.
I finished Explosive Forces by D.D. Ayres, K-9 Rescue #5. Loved the dog and mystery/suspense. Romance missed. Here's my review.
I'm now reading Away from the Dark by Aleatha Romig, The Light #2.
