I read this book in one eight hour sitting because I was down to the weekend before The Hot Chicks Who Read, my book club, were getting together to discuss this book. Thankfully, my husband had the crud that’s been going around, and I was able to spend the entire day Continue reading “This Chick Read: You Should Have Known by Jean Hanff Korelitz”
I Let You Go is the debut novel for author Clare Mackintosh and will be released in the states on May 03, 2016. The authors background as an ex-CID officer, the British version of a detectives unit in a police department, allows her to use that voice authoritatively when telling the story from the detectives viewpoint. There are two other narrators in this story, Jenna Gray who is the main protagonist, and a male who enters the book in part two. It is in Part Two that the story veers Continue reading “This Chick Read: I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh”
On the surface, All the Broken Places seems to be a paranormal romance, and it certainly has those elements. The romance was key, but, I think the bigger story was Cate’s involvement with the MacGregor Group, and finding a place that she would fit in. This book was about how our insecurities Continue reading “This Chick Read: All the Broken Places by Anise Eden”
Backtrack 17 is the second novel in the TaP Team series by L.j. Charles. It continues the story of Everly Gray, a touch sensitive psychic who has joined a spy team created by her husband Tynan Pierce. I first was introduced to Everly Gray in A Touch of Ice, where she was a Personal Coach, or life counselor (This Chick Read: A Touch of Ice the Everly Gray Adventures). To prepare for the jump in time for Everly Gray Continue reading “This Chick Read: Backtrack 17: The TaP Team by L.j. Charles”
A Covert Affair is the Fifth book in the Deadly Ops series by Katie Reus. Normally I don’t like to read a book in the middle of a series, but recently I had purchased a book in the middle of another of her series, Breaking Her Rules (Red Stone Security), and tweeted at the author asking her if I needed to read the others before this book. She responded back, Continue reading “This Chick Read: A Covert Affair by Katie Reus”

I have eagerly anticipated this installment of the Fever series, as Mac and Barrons are two of my favorite fantasy romance characters. Mac has grown away from the Barbie from the south stereotype who we met in volume one, evolving into a fighter trying to save humanity, and more importantly those she loves. Barrons is still a grunting man-beast Continue reading “This Chick Read: Feverborn by Karen Marie Moning”
From the first page, this story reached out and yelled GOTCHA! I will admit, this is my favorite type of weekend read. A great mystery, a gripping plot, a strong female lead with a hint of vulnerability, and a take charge hero who is great to look at! Karen Robards is a master at developing a roller coaster thrill Continue reading “This Chick Read: Darkness by Karen Robards”
Roan and Kay are orphans. A fire destroys their old life, but they have one chance to enter the School of Faith. They are given one month to pass the entry trials, but as Roan excels and Kay fails, their devotion to each other is put to the test.
They swore they would face everything together, but when the stakes are losing the life they’ve always dreamed of, what will they do to stay together? What won’t they do? Continue reading “This Chick Read: Faith and Moonlight by Mark Gelineau and Joe King”
If this book were a film I would describe this as Film Noir. Is there such a term as Book Noir? I don’t know, but Noir is the best way for me to describe the feeling of how this book was written. The setting is post World Wars, when the government played on the fear of its citizens going on communist witch hunts. Speakeasy’s were commonplace, and jazz music was popular. The story follows a cop, Michael Cassidy, who is as deeply layered Continue reading “This Chick Read : Night Life by David C. Taylor”
