This Chick Read: The Passenger by Lisa Lutz

“When I found my husband lying at the bottom of the stairs…”

Lisa Lutz engaged my imagination from the very first sentence of The Passenger.  Did Tanya kill her husband or didn’t she?  This question was only the first of many that I had as I read this book.  Tanya was the first identity we knew our heroine as, but it certainly wasn’t the last. Continue reading “This Chick Read: The Passenger by Lisa Lutz”

This Chick Read: Morrigan’s Cross by Nora Roberts

Morrigan’s Cross is the first book in Nora Roberts Circle Trilogy.  This book was first published in August of 2006, and was just reissued in January 2016.  Apparently I must have been living in a hole in the ground because I’ve never read this series!  As with most of Ms. Roberts trilogy’s, this storyline has a good versus evil theme.  Six people, of mixed backgrounds join together, using their various abilities, magical and warrior, to become a unit with the purpose of saving mankind from the evil Lilith.   Continue reading “This Chick Read: Morrigan’s Cross by Nora Roberts”

This Chick Read: J.D. Robb’s Brotherhood in Death

I don’t even know what number book this is in the In Death series, and I don’t care.  I will always buy, borrow or steal a copy and read it as soon as it comes out!  Luckily, I didn’t have to steal a copy, I checked it out on my Overdrive library app.  Fans of Nora Roberts, aka J.D Robb, never have to Continue reading “This Chick Read: J.D. Robb’s Brotherhood in Death”

This Chick Read: The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin

I read this book sitting on the couch, occasionally laughing out loud and getting strange looks from my husband, as well as grabbing a Kleenex and sniffling, trying to hide my tears.  I didn’t fool anyone, including myself.  I was totally into the characters and storyline, and wasn’t going to put this book down until I was done.  When I was, I looked up stating, Continue reading “This Chick Read: The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin”

This Chick Read: Eliza Waite by Ashley E. Sweeney

This is a fascinating story of a young woman who survives tragedy and reinvents herself at the turn of the 20th century.  The setting changes from the Missouri social scene, to living a tough life on one of the San Juan Islands, to Skagway Alaska during the Goldrush of 1898.  Eliza Waite, as did many women of her time, had very little control Continue reading “This Chick Read: Eliza Waite by Ashley E. Sweeney”

This Chick Read: A Touch of Ice (Book 1 ): The Everly Gray Adventures by L. J. Charles

While reviewing the note about the author on Amazon, I knew that what I would be reading would be an unusual take on a murder mystery.  The author, L. J. Charles, is a past yoga instructor, who, when deciding to write full time was driven to the paranormal genre because she wanted to include her life experiences with energy into her stories.  This might raise question marks Continue reading “This Chick Read: A Touch of Ice (Book 1 ): The Everly Gray Adventures by L. J. Charles”

This Chick Read: Come on Closer by Kendra Leigh Castle

I had just finished the mystery, Missing Pieces by Heather Gudenkauf,  and was ready for a little lighthearted romance.  Come on Closer was my first novel by Kendra Leigh Castle, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the cover was very reminiscent of a Jill Shalvis cover, so I thought there were good odds I’d like it.  I’m a sucker for sweet romances Continue reading “This Chick Read: Come on Closer by Kendra Leigh Castle”

This Chick Read: Missing Pieces by Heather Gudenkauf

What would you do if you went to your husband’s childhood home because the woman who raised him was in the hospital, and everything you thought you knew about him started to unravel.  That is what happened to Sarah Quinlan Continue reading “This Chick Read: Missing Pieces by Heather Gudenkauf”
