I finished listening to Two Girls Down by Louisa Luna, Alice Vega #1, and was happily surprised by the strength of the story and writing. Here’s my review.

I finished Secrets Hidden in the Glass by Cate Beauman, Carter Island #1, and while it was long (600 pages), I fell in love with the series. Here’s my review.

I finished Aftermath of Secrets by Cate Beauman, Carter Island #2, and loved this one, too, which was much shorter. Here’s my review.

I’m reading No One Saw by Beverly Long, A. L. McKittridge #2, and listening to A Dark and Stormy Knight by Kerrigan Byrne, Victorian Rebels #7 (almost finished).

[Robin]

Today I slogged through Bloodlines by Dinah McCall (AKA: Sharon Sala). The last few books I've read by this author have been misses. I think I just may have to give up on her.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Jonetta]

Robin, I’ve never read Sala because I keep reading similar sentiments (started back when we were on Shelfari).

[Robin]

Twenty years ago I read a couple of her books and absolutely loved them. Now I'm wondering if her writing has changed or my tastes have changed. Maybe it's a combination of both. I should try re-reading at least one of those books to see if it stands up with time.

[Melissa]

I finished reading Lord of the Flies by William Golding, 3 ★. Here's my review.

I’m listening to A Merciful Fate by Kendra Elliot, Mercy Kilpatrick #5.

[Christina T]

I just finished Kiss Me, Kill Me by Allison Brennan and loved it. I'm really enjoying Lucy. She's a lot easier to like than Brennan's Maxine Revere character.... even though I was able to warn up to her eventually it wasn't easy at all.

[Jonetta]

I finished reading To Catch an Earl by Kate Bateman, Bow Street Bachelors #2, and enjoyed this story involving a 19th century female jewel thief. Here’s my review.

[Jonetta]

I finished listening to A Merciful Fate by Kendra Elliot, Mercy Kilpatrick #5, and boy was this a twisty one! Here’s my review.

I’m listening to Kiss Me, Kill Me by Allison Brennan, Lucy Kincaid #2.

[Christina T]

Finished Her Grave Secrets by Kendra Elliot and Walking on Her Grave by Melinda Leigh to finish off that series. And listened to Over the Edge and Out of Control both by Suzanne Brockmann. The listening was ok but my livestock didn't have the dual narration of Patrick Lawlor and Melanie Eubanks for either book which was a bit disappointing.

[Jonetta]

Christina T wrote: "Finished Her Grave Secrets by Kendra Elliot and Walking on Her Grave by Melinda Leigh to finish off that series. And listened to Over the Edge and [boo..."

Maybe it would be better to read Troubleshooters if you can’t get the new narrators.

[Robin]

Did you like the Kendra Elliot/Melinda Leigh series? I listened to it last summer and thought it was pretty good.

[Melissa]

I finished reading Kiss Me, Kill Me, Lucy Kincaid #2, by Allison Brennan, 4 ★. Here's my review.

[Christina T]

@Jonetta-- I'll get to read the next two Troubleshooters because my library doesn't have either audio versions only ebook. Then I think they have the next 5 with the newer versions. So I'll be reading the Troubleshooter series in a variety of ways 😀

@Robin--I enjoyed the Rogue River books but found I liked the Kendra Elliot ones more than the Melinda Leigh ones. I'll read another series by them.

[Robin]
