Tempest Authors: Lisa Henry & J.A. Rock Reviewer: B. Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: Picking up right where Merchant of Death left off, Tempest begins at a sprint and doesn’t slow down for the duration of the story. Agent Ryan “Mac” McGuinness, not quite formerly of the FBI, and Henry Page (aka too many aliases […]
The Merchant of Death Author: Lisa Henry + J.A. Rock Rating: A- Reviewer: B. What I’m Talking About: Picking up immediately where Two Gentlemen of Altona ended, The Merchant of Death takes us even deeper into Henry’s world, even though Mac still has plenty to worry about, too. After nearly arriving at a temporary, but seemingly […]
Two Gentlemen of Altona Authors: Lisa Henry + J.A. Rock Reviewer: B. Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: I actually read the second story in this series, The Merchant of Death, before going back and reading Two Gentlemen of Altona because I found Henry and Mac’s situation so intriguing that I needed to know more. Taking […]
Master of Plagues Author: E.L. Tettensor Reviewer: Gikany & Una Rating: A- What We’re Talking About: Gikany and Una have been on pins and needles, anxiously awaiting Master of Plagues. Ms. Tettensor did not disappoint! Though this mystery was a bit different from the first, we still enjoyed the mythology, the world, and the twists […]
Dead Simple Author: Shirley Wells Reviewer: Jen Twimom Rating: A What I’m Talking About: Dead Simple is the last Dylan Scott Mystery, which saddens me greatly. So it is appropriate that for his final tale, Dylan heads back to Dawson’s Clough, where the series and his career as a private investigator began. He’s decided to […]
Catching A Man Author: Elizabeth Corrigan Reviewer: Una Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: Catching A Man is the new alternate world detective drama by Elizabeth Corrigan. After reading two of her previous works, I was intrigued by the premise of this one. Ms. Corrigan did not disappoint in her new Valeriel Investigations series. This […]
A Virtuous Death Author: Christine Trent Reviewer: Una Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: A Virtuous Death is the third novel in the enchanting Lady of Ashes Mysteries. Although this novel had a slightly different feel from the previous ones, I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery and the continuing insights into Violet. The novel unwinds slowly. […]
Forged by Desire Author: Bec McMaster Reviewer: Jen Rating: A+ What I’m Talking About: The Nighthawks have been the stable blueblood (think vampire) police force for forty years, but their founder and longtime leader, Sir Jasper Lynch, recently stepped down to assume his role among the Echelon (My Lady Quicksilver). Now Garrett Reed, second in […]
The Curious Case of the Clockwork Menace Author: Bec McMaster Reviewer: Jen Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: The Curious Case of the Clockwork Menace is a wonderful whodunit mystery set in Bec McMaster’s London Steampunk world. It is listed as book 3.5, but story does go back 3 years in time. The book shares […]
The Inheritance Author: Olivia Mayfield Reviewer: Una Rating: B- What I’m Talking About: Originally released as a series of six novellas, The Inheritance has now been released as a full novel. I did not read the story in the novella format and this review is for the full novel only. The premise piqued my interest, […]
Dead End Author: Shirley Wells Reviewer: Jen Twimom Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: Dead End picks up right after the conclusion of the previous book, Deadly Shadows, when we found out that Dylan is receiving death threats and his wife, Bev, has cancer. Dylan, together with his former co-worker, Detective Sergeant Pike (Pikey) and […]
Stolen Remains Author: Christine Trent Reviewer: Una Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: Stolen Remains is the second novel in the Lady of Ashes Mysteries. I was wonderfully surprised to find this sequel is as engrossing and interesting as the first novel, Lady of Ashes. Although I didn’t think I was in the mood for […]
The Medea Complex Author: Rachel Florence Roberts Reviewer: Una Rating: C What I’m Talking About: The Medea Complex was an interesting premise and nothing like what I expected. Although I liked the idea of the novel and where the author was going, the execution of it fell flat. The Medea Complex is a psychological thriller […]
The Innocent Author: Shiloh Walker Reviewer: Jen Twimom Rating: B What I’m Talking About: Jay Roberts is a security specialist with ties to Agent Taylor Jones and his group of FBI psychics. Jay has lived a lonely life, never able to touch anyone else because she is psychometric and picks up history and thoughts via […]
Darkwalker Author: E. L. Tettensor Reviewer: Gikany and Una Rating: A What We’re Talking About: Darkwalker is the debut novel in the Nicholas Lenoir series. It seems the series will chronicle Nicholas Lenoir, a detective in a dark, historical fantasy world. We were wary at first, but we found ourselves rooting for this anti-hero and really […]
