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: Moonglow by Kristen Callihan

On By deborahkehoeIn A Hot Chick Who Reads1 Comment

Forgive me but I’m going to gush for a moment.  Kristen Callihan’s Darkest London series is a fantastically dark, dangerously fun, sexy thrill ride.  I enjoyed Moonglow, the second book in the series, just as much as Firelight, the first.  The characters are not perfect.  They are flawed in the best way possible.  They are interesting, and hold my attention to the extent that I am reading  each page like I eat a piece of chocolate cake, savoring each bite and disappointed when my plate is clean. Continue reading “This Chick Read: Moonglow by Kristen Callihan” →

This Chick Read: You Should Have Known by Jean Hanff Korelitz

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” →

This Chick Read: A Covert Affair by Katie Reus

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” →

This Chick Read: Feverborn by Karen Marie Moning

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” →

This Chick Read: Darkness by Karen Robards

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” →
