Thanks Damo - I really enjoy her books!

Only available as a PDF unfortunately - HarperCollins again!

Also, I was surprised to be approved for #58 in J.D. Robb's In Death series, Random in Death, I usually have no luck with this publisher. And I've only read the first three, so that will be an interesting exercise!

Thanks Marianne - I've put in a request for 11 Huskies. I'm not going to be tempted into asking for the JD Robb as I'm only up to #30 in the series so have a way to go - and in any case I've given up requesting from St Martin's!

Carolyn, this one was actually Little, Brown/Piatkus. I'm just going to read it and never mind about spoilers for the 55 I haven't yet read. By the time I get to them, I'll have forgotten anyway LOL

Enjoy Marianne. The plots are always good and as you say any minor spoilers re characters will be long forgotten!
The latest JD Robb is one I want to hold in my hands, to add to my collection so I'm happy to wait :)

I love the sound of this one and have been tempted to request it :)

The authors are quite popular and I generally like their books. It's a stand alone and sounds interesting, although I just noticed it's 544 pages and one reviewer said it could have been shorter!

I might leave that one then, I am way behind already with what i have to read on Netgalley Thanks Carolyn

Probably wise Helen! I might have had second thoughts about requesting it if I"d noted the page count first! 🙄

You can unrequest it Carolyn, if you want :) There's a button for that.

I might do that Brenda - I do like their books so I'll see if I can fit it in next month.



I think I might pass on that one. I'm currently reading the first of three books I have to read on the NG app for and getting very annoyed about having to keep notes since I can't highlight or search.

I agree, Carolyn, not friendly in that regard!

Thanks Marianne, I'm with Carolyn! I wonder when they'll get with the program! So far behind the times they are!!

Keep an eye on NetGalley UK, since Canelo has published her previous two books there. They're an independent publisher, so maybe they'll still send to Kindle.
I see the publication date here is 31 January, but she's Aussie, so perhaps it's a later release in the UK. Her second book, Taken, looks as if it's only just been published there.

Spring/Summer 2024
Heaps of samples.

I forgot I was on the UK site when I saw and requested it, and then afterwards realised I should have checked the Aussie site first! Oh well!

I think Sarah is reading this series - she's probably already got it too!


Thanks Carolyn - I am reading this series!


I requested that one late last night as soon as I saw it and was approved this morning. Was coming here to post it, but you beat me to it! Really looking forward to it.

Likewise - Thanks so much for the heads-up. I miss so many I just don't notice.
