Review: Many Rivers to Cross (Inspector Banks #26) by Peter Robinson
This series has obviously been a long standing with. With 26 books in the series, it’s clear that people love Inspector Banks. I was thrilled to review this one when I was approached, but at the same time I was worried that being 26 books in, that I would be lost in the larger story. But if I have learned one thing about well known, longstanding thriller/mystery series, it’s that the authors usually try to keep things simple or at least explain the back story more for a new audience. After some debate, I decided to give this one a try and see how it went. I obviously wasn’t going…

Review: Where Shadows Dance (Sebastian St. Cyr #6) by C.S. Harris
Another day, another Sebastian St Cyr mystery review. I and so deeply invested in this series right now that basically nothing is getting done around my house or any other reading for that matter. So many people ask how I read so many books. Well the answer is simple, I speed read but I also read a lot of the books I have up for review right now, weeks or even months before. For example, I have already read 3 books for review in March and April so I am always ahead of schedule and I do this because I like to know I have time to binge read books…

Review: The Country Guesthouse (Sullivan’s Crossing #5) by Robyn Carr
Robyn Carr was a new to my author a couple of years ago but once I picked up one of her books, I could immediately see why so many people enjoy her novels! Picking this book up in the dead of winter was a little depressing though, because I could practically feel the sun on my skin with this glowing beach style read! Even though the setting is in Colorado, it still reminded me of a fun read on a sunny summer day while I was passing some time at the beach, this is the sort of book that you want to pack with you on a lazy summer day.…

Review: What Remains of Heaven (Sebastian St. Cyr #5) by C.S. Harris
This series is flying by for me and I am living each and every book for all kinds of reasons! The mysteries are each interesting, new, and twisty but for me the character development through each book has been incredible! When I started this series, I read only book 1 before jumping back in at like book 12. I thought the first book was good as well as the other later books, but I never fully appreciated this series until I started reading it beginning to end. I didn’t have too much trouble starting this series late, but I did know there were relationships and events that I wasn’t fully…

Review: The Decent Inn of Death (John Madden #6) by Rennie Airth
This series and author are completely new to me and I went into this one with zero expectations. When the book arrives in the mail, I was immediately drawn to the cover. It has a real noir/crime feel to it and I was eager to read a mystery that was a little different, such as the cover implied. It is the 6th book in a series though so I had to go into it with an open mind. I mean at a certain point in a series, readers have to expect that there will be established storylines and character relationships to some degree or another, so with that in mind,…

Review: Where Serpents Sleep (Sebastian St. Cyr #4) by C.S. Harris
This series has quickly become a favorite of mine. I mean, I’ve read the later books and enjoyed them but now that I am going back and reading the other books in the series in order, I am seeing the nuanced relationships develop and I simply can’t stop reading! I only meant to read one or two books in the series, but I’ve discarded that notion and am fully intending to binge read this series before the month is out! I am currently starting book 6 so I am super excited to read all of the books and share not only my reviews but my take two reviews once I…

Review: Starborn (Born Prophecy #2) by Katie MacAlister
When this book came up for review, I quickly noticed that it was part of a series and with a fantasy novel, it’s so hard to skip around in the series, so I decided to read the first book before I picked this one up for review. I am glad I noticed that this was part of a series because I would have been so lost without that first book so if you haven’t read the first book, stop and read it before moving on to this one! When I read the first book there were a couple of small concerns I had going into this one, but not enough…

Review: Interview with the Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles #1) by Anne Rice (Audible Edition)
I have had Interview with a Vampire on my TBR list for YEARS. The 1994 film was a favorite of mine and I was eager to read the books when I was older. My sister and mom gave me the book on more than one occasion to read but it just never felt like the right time, but for some reason, after Halloween this year felt like that right time. That was when I started this audiobook…..early Nov and here it is the first part of Jan and I am just now finishing it. Simon Vance was the narrator and he did a fabulous job with the narration, but I…

Review: Why Mermaids Sing (Sebastian St. Cyr #3) by C.S. Harris
This mystery series has been one that I have read and enjoyed but wouldn’t consider a favorite….until now. I picked up the later books in the series but hadn’t gone back to read the earlier books. While I didn’t always feel out of place or lost in the plot, there were clearly nuanced relationships between the characters within the larger narrative that left me feeling not as invested in the series as I had hoped. I read the first book a few years ago and thought it was good and at the time had planned to read the series in order, but I just didn’t have it in my reading…

Review: When Gods Die (Sebastian St. Cyr #2) by C.S. Harris
I was approached a few years ago to read the Sebastian St Cyr series and at that time it was on book 12! I decided to give it a go, but I wanted to read the first book before I started book 12—so I did. I read the first book and I thought it was really good but I didn’t have a desire to go back and read the series from beginning to end so that I could read book 12. So read book 1 and then started book 12. Since then I have read books 12-14 with book 15 coming out later this spring. As I was approaching the…
