My review of
High Wire by Candice Fox, an entertaining action packed thriller on a lonely road through the Australian outback.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Here is my 3.16 rounded to 3 stars review of The Woodsmoke Women's Book of Spells: A witchy, spellbinding tale of magic and love by Rachel Greenlaw:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Magical Realism, Romance
Overall, I enjoyed the entertaining and atmospheric story, but it wasn’t what I expected. However, the world-building was excellent and it was a nice change-of-pace read that was also thought-provoking. The exploration of relationships was well-done.
I'm still glad that this year I chose Michael Connelly as an author to read each month. The Narrows is deadly in the desert and absolutely terrifying in a flood.
My review of The Narrows
An Oxford student tries to find The Girl Who Wasn't There in Arvind Ethan David's dramatised story. He'd really liked her when she was - or was she?

The Waiting by Michael ConnellyMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Their Chosen Way (#3 of The Roads Chosen Trilogy). Hands-up! I'm a friend of the author.

Beneath the Poet’s House
is an interesting mix of horror, thriller and romance. My four star review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I read Beartooth by Callan Wink It is a wilderness crime book, set near Yellowstone National Park. My 3.5 star rounded down review. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... If you are an animal lover, you would not like the graphic description of the bears being butchered.
Wilderness crime fans might like this book. Animal lovers would not.
The Reunion Dinner by Jesse Q. Sutanto is the second "busybody" story in Amazon's collection of six. They are short, quirky mysteries that I read as an entertaining break between books.
My review of The Reunion Dinner
On a more serious note, I'm glad I decided to give Orbital by Samantha Harvey a try. It's on the Booker Prize short list, and I'm happy to say I can see why they chose it.
My review of Orbital
Invisible Helix

Cavern of the Damned

Short novella.
atmospheric horror with supernatural elements and unseen creatures.

A Killer’s Wife is a fun legal thriller that occassionally strolls into OTT territory. My 3.5 star review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I finished The Mirror by Nora Roberts and loved book 2 in The Lost Bride trilogy. I love that there's no mistaking whose work you're reading with Nora Roberts as her signature style is evident. As always, brilliant world-building, characterizations and detailed plot lines set this one apart! Looking forward to book 3. My Review
