Yay, thank you! Yes, check out Tana French. This series is really good, and keeps you guessing and kind of messes with your head a little.

- Finished 1/11/2020, two star rating.

Oof, this one was a chore to read. I'm glad I got it out of the way first. I like detail in my true crime, but this was overboard. Too much cutesy info on Sherri's family dynamic, way too much detail on Stephanie Lazarus (the perp). Then there were the comments on unrelated cases (Nightstalker, OJ) that broke up the already clunky narrative. This was a couple hundred pages too long.

Wow. Just finished . What a fantastic story! Will definitely read the rest of this series.

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Connie,

I finished one of your picks so far and enjoyed it. Thanks!

[Erica, Quality Control Supervisor]

Just read last night. Great story, and a quick read.

[Jodi]

Finished today. A great book, especially if you love Halloween.

[Louise]

Hoping to finish this week 🤞

[Danielle Gypsy Soul]

Suzanne,

Thanks for the picks. I finished all 3

- not my favorite IA since I didn't much like the hero but the amazing heroine made up for it.

- Loved this one - can't wait to read more

- good background on the secondary characters. Will read the next book in his series in Feb.

[Jonquil]

Thanks, again, to Ezi.

This has been on my TBR since June 2013. It was okay, but didn't measure up to my expectations. 1/27 ★★★

I added this to my TBR in June 2017 when I spotted it on my library's overdrive new acquisitions page. I know shifters are generally portrayed as violent (wolf, duh) but I would have preferred less blood sport and less "putting the little woman in her place". Despite that, I needed to see how the story unfolded and resolved. 1/3 ★★★★

Until Ezi's suggestion, Rachel Aaron wasn't even on my radar. The story hooked me from the start. If you've read YA fantasy, some of the escapades will evoke memories of other books, but that made the book feel familiar, similar to sitting in the same seat in English class each week. It was a nice escape for a 3-day weekend. ★★★★

I finished one of my dusty books this month, . He may throw out some of the most insane, impossible theories you've ever heard, but at least he's really interesting about it. I really loved this book, even if most of it was said crazy theories. ^_^

[Jodi]

Today I finished my other two books: Revenge of the Sith and The Hunt for Red October

I'm very happy to have finally read them both. Especially the Star Wars one was unexpectatedly good.

[Louise]

Thank you Chelle for my picks. I read what a surprisingly good read.

[Ketutar]

OH! I totally forgot all about this! I am so, so sorry!

[Erica, Quality Control Supervisor]

Marty, I just finished and it was fantastic!! Thanks so much for prompting me to read this... I rarely make all three books in one month. Well worth the effort.

[Mirliz]

I finished and enjoyed it. I'm glad that I have finally read this classic.

I wanted to let you know that I read and it was a 3-star. It wasn't as good as the other works of this author, who is one of MY FAVORITE authors. I can definitely tell that book was one of her older works.

I did listen to the Bonus book . It seems to be really popular book here on GR but I wasn't able to get into it. I will be honest, I didn't enjoy either

[☘KathyD☘]

Vicki. . .I was only able to get to one, but this was a new author, so thanks for the push!
