Thomas (tom471) | 1353 comments I read Touched ]It is a departure from his mystery books. It is paranormal. story of good vs. evil, and a little too weird for me. My 3-star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

After reading the second installment of Kate Daniels: The Wilmington Years, I just had to do a re-read of the series. I found this audiobook version for Kate Daniels #1 made by Graphic Audio which uses a full cast to "perform" / read the book and includes sound effects.

PamG (lynguy1) | 2535 comments Here is my 4.15 rounded to 4 stars review of Her Wolf for the Holidays Her Wolf for the Holidays (Highland Wolf, 7) by Terry Spear by Terry Spear:

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

Paranormal Romance

The characterization and world-building are well-done in this novel. It’s a light, easy read with a fast-paced romance. While there was some minor conflict, I wanted some additional intensity and suspense. Despite this, I enjoyed the book.

I love this series. Robb is an excellent storyteller who combines a creative plot with suspenseful scenes and some action and romance. Overall, this novel was a twisty tale with great characterization that kept me turning the pages. I loved spending time with some of my favorite characters and can't wait for the next book in the series.

PamG (lynguy1) | 2535 comments Here is my 2.98 rounded to 3 stars review of A Trouble of Fools A Trouble of Fools (Carlotta Carlyle Mysteries) by Linda Barnes by Linda Barnes:

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

Private Detective

This is an outlier review. There are many readers who loved this novel.

There’s a decent mystery in this story, but the start is slow-paced, meandering, and uneven. However, it picks up in the last third of the novel. Overall, this sets the stage for an interesting series with some eccentric characters and new investigations to pursue.
