[Cornerofmadness]

Book 1. by C.M. Wendleboe

Yes, okay I read most of this last year but I finished it today. This mystery took me back to my time as a reservation doctor. I enjoyed it for the most part.

Book 3 By George Iida & You Higuri

Book 4 by Makoto Tateno

Both rereads from 5-6 years ago as I clear off my shelves. Night Head was actually good but I don't think much made it to the States. Steal Moon has a lot of the worst yaoi tropes.

Book 5 by John Sandford

Book 6 by Chika Shiomi

I liked the mystery in Dark of the Moon and hated everything else. Night of the Beasts was a reread from years ago. I'm clearing my shelves of manga series I didn't keep up with (or ones that died out). It wasn't bad.

How do you like Black Butler? I have been contemplating starting this series up.

[Cornerofmadness]

It took me a while to get into it. I do like it but sometimes the storyline is a bit uneven. The art is beautiful.

Book 13. by Lisa Unger

I liked most of this suspense but other parts made me frustrated (like an onscreen rape).
