This Chick Read: Waylaid by Kim Harrison

This Chick Read: Moonglow by Kristen Callihan

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: 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.
