Given the average GR rating, I had expected to give these better marks. Maybe they fared worse in comparison because I had just finished the Kate Daniels books. But these initial books didn't have much of any world building. I liked Bones, even though his speech is filled with cliches of British slang, and was initially annoyed by Cat. Many reviews for the first book compared it to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." I've never watched that show. Instead, this series felt like HBO's "True Blood" show, especially in its later years.
reading Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate. btw how do ppl show the actual book cover on this thread?

You click on that and you can do a search for your book. Then click add next to the correct book. The preset is book link with the title. If you want the cover to show you just need to select cover below the search results. You can also look for different editions or authors in that search area.

It's easy to read a series with these ratings when I'm procrastinating doing things I should be doing. 😉
I also liked the performance in the audiobook and for most if the books, the stories had really strong beginnings. 3☆ is a positive rating for me.
Hey guys! I'm currently reading ''Son'' of The Giver quartet. I don't know if anyone has read it but I loved Lois Lowry's books and writing so far. What about you guys?
Interviewing The Dead by David Field is the first in his Carlyle & West Victorian Mystery Series. London, 1892, ghosts of plague victims - what?? A doctor and a preacher join forces to investigate.

I think most mystery readers are familiar with Daphne du Maurier. I just read Jamaica Inn, a suspenseful "it was a dark and stormy night . . ." thriller.
