Batch approvals!!

It took that long for approval(although I'm delighted I was approved) it will have to go to the back of the (small) que.

Sandy | 477 comments Blood Lines An absolutely gripping thriller that will have you hooked (Detective Kim Stone crime thriller series Book 5) by Angela Marsons

Been having a bit of a drought lately on Netgalley so I'm happy to get this & catch up with Kim Stone.

Pia | 40 comments I also got The Beautiful Dead by Belinda Bauer and requested the Angela Marsons book.

As for Orion Publishing Group... I requested 3 books from them and got declined. I even read and reviewed one of their samplers, thinking that might give me a better chance of getting approved, but as it didn't, I just don't request anything from them any more.

Cosmos | 276 comments Sorry you weren't approved, Pia.


message 2759: by Adrian (new)

Adrian Dooley (adox66) | 246 comments Been keeping an eye out for the latest Angela Marsons to appear. Just sent a request. Fingers crossed.

Adrian Dooley (adox66) | 246 comments Wow. Approved already. That's about 5 minutes. A definite record for me. Delighted.

Thanks Cosmos. :)

For the record, approved for Blood Lines An absolutely gripping thriller that will have you hooked (Detective Kim Stone crime thriller series Book 5) by Angela Marsons

Can't wait to read this(although will have to as have two others ahead in the que). It's a fantastic series and Kim Stone is a brilliant central character.

I have The Beautiful Dead next to read. Looking forward to it.

I must remember to not request from Orion as others here seem to be getting serial refusals.

Adrian Dooley (adox66) | 246 comments Great stuff Sue and Christine. I kinda wish it was my next read now but I'll wait till I've finished my other two first.

Looking forward to loads of reviews of this soon.

Me three - or four! I'm lucky enough to be auto approved by Bookouture and this is one author whose books I just can't resist!

Another is Nichole Christoff and she has her latest book up on NetGalley, The Kill Sign: A Jamie Sinclair Novel The Kill Sign A Jamie Sinclair Novel by Nichole Christoff and I've just been approved for that one, too!

There were a couple of inappropriate comments on here which you posted that I have now deleted. I know Sean has already said in another thread but I'm also reminding you again to keep comments respectful and appropriate.

Innuendo especially of the sexual kind is not necessary here. None of us invented the wheel yet the world continues to keep turning. We run a classy group here and prefer to keep it that way. If I see anything else that I deem inappropriate then you will be removed from the group.


message 2778: by Cosmos (new)

Cosmos | 276 comments I will keep my comments respectful and appropriate, Janet. Sorry I went down the wrong path.

No more innuendo of the sexual nature. That was uncalled for and it won't be repeated.

I'll be a good member, you'll see. Just give me the chance.

I just finished a book comparing itself to Gone Girl and Girl on a Train like this one does and it was a disaster...I hope you fair out better than I did LOL


message 2791: by Christy (last edited Sep 21, 2016 12:05PM) (new)

Christy | 55 comments I'm very interested what that book was. Believe it to not--I did not read Gone Girl or the other one.....for some reason...they just seemed so pop-culture I guess (Maybe I should since the names themselves seem to sell books)....I read Mark Edward's The Devil's Work which was compared to those, but after reading other reviews they said it wasn't anything like them. Perhaps my eyes just totally missed that comparison on this one.....so far, so good....a bit creepy under the surface.

Christy | 55 comments Cosmos wrote: "How is it so far, Christy?"

Well, just a bit in, but I'm getting a tiny creepy vibe coming through...I promise to update...hopefully later today.


message 2793: by Christy (new)

Christy | 55 comments Cosmos wrote: "How is it so far, Christy?"

Ok...I'm further into it and it's getting interesting...an architect that I think treats his few tenants (that have to jump through major hoops to get into his pristine minimalist house) like laboratory rats....there's creepiness, and death during the building of the house....and It's written from two girls perspectives, one I'm not sure is alive anymore (Perhaps sh'e The Girl Before).....and I see that Ron Howard is already planning a movie on it.....it's good....very psychological....creepy.....I think it's going to be a huge hit when it hits! It is unique! I haven't read anything like it before....

I am sure it can, featuring Seattle Homicide Detective Tracy Crosswhite, but I like to read all the books in sequence to get a feel for the character and her background.
