Yes, I am! I am only an hour and a half in but am loving the serial killer storyline and the FBI.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The novel is immensely readable. However, it is not the best novel on the subject of World War One (The Great War) I have ever read.
If you only read one novel set during the War To End All Wars, may I suggest you read A Long Long Way by Sebastian Barry instead.


I've been out of town since last Wednesday but I have been reading!
I finished listening to Under My Skin by J. Kenner, final book in the Stark International trilogy, and I very much enjoyed it. First time I was able to speed up the performance in the updated iTunes and it made a huge difference. Nice end to the series.
I finished Training Complex by Leta Blake, follow up to the first book, Training Season. I struggled to get through this book as it dealt with two topics that don't appeal to me: eating disorders and true BDSM relationships. If you're a fan of m/m Dom/sub romances, this story would be an excellent choice as it not only explores the dynamics of those relationships but overlays the impact of one partner's association with eating disorders or disordered eating. Interesting but just not my interest.
I read Malice, the new prequel in the Southern Comfort series by Lisa Clark O'Neill. Loved it as it dealt with one of the Wellington brothers who appears in small roles throughout the series. It was nice getting his backstory. Highly recommend it as well as the excellent series. For those who haven't started it, you can begin here.
Lastly, I finished reading Hear No Lies by Stacy Green, a new prequel to the Lucy Kendall series. It was excellent and I finished it during the ride home yesterday. I'm even more conflicted about this character. Not sure if it's best to start here or read the books in the series first. It shouldn't matter.
I'll have reviews for all later.
I'm now reading The Seduction of Lord Stone by Anna Campbell, the first book in her new Dashing Widows series. It is connected to her Sons of Sins series and will be a series of novellas. I'm also listening to Fractured by Karin Slaughter, Will Trent #2.

I enjoyed both, Sheri. Not horribly graphic like Slaughter or Rose, but I really enjoyed the romance & there is also a good, intriguing murder case/s going on.

1001 Books to Read Before You Die #35


Just finished
by C.M. McKenna - probably the most heartbreaking story with the most flawed characters I've ever read...totally unique. I'll try to review it in a few days.
Also just finished
- I enjoyed it although it's a little predictable to me. Good for those who love second chance romances.

Also just finished

Great day for reading. Raining out mid 60's such a nice break from 100% humidity mid 90's! So I cut a deal with myself ~ reorganize my closet & get everything back into the shape it slid from & then me time!
Dying to get back into Virgin River Series, it's a group read and I think they group needs to read one more to get to the book I am on. I also have 2 books sitting from the



Enjoy the day ~ Dust Bunnies are onto me I need to get at them before they relocate!


I'm also reading/listening to my Kindle Unlimited selection: All Fudged Up


I finished The Seduction of Lord Stone by Anna Campbell and enjoyed it, looking forward to the next two books in this novella series.
I also finished listening to Fractured by Karin Slaughter and it was great being back to Will Trent. Of course, I'm dying to jump right into the next book but....
I finished Everything I Left Unsaid by Molly O'Keefe, a truly extraordinary piece of writing. I was warned by O'Keefe that it ends with a cliffhanger so I thought I'd just read a little of the next book but I find myself already at 25% so I think I'll just continue until the end with The Truth About Him.
I'm also listening to Under the Lights by Shannon Stacey.

Archangel's Enigma, #8 in Nalini Singh's great Guild Hunter series. Never a let down in this series and that applies here. What a great world and series of characters she has built. Also finished the first in Kim Harrison's new Peri Reed Chronicles, The Drafter. Outstanding start for a new series. Couldn't put it down.

I'm waiting for The Drafter from the library.
