She needs to take some time to herself so when she meets Lindsey Hargreaves, a fellow marine science enthusiast, she welcomes the chance to make a chance.

Lindsey has a field office in Ireland that she is trying to get off the ground and would love to have Julianne’s help setting it up.

Julianne accepts without a second thought and books her ticket to Ireland almost immediately.

Meanwhile, FBI agents Emma Sharp and Colin Donovan (Andy’s brother) are in Ireland on holiday when they learn that Julianne is going to be staying in the small village of Declan’s Cross.

Review: The Never List by Koethi Zan

by The Lit Bitch4 Comments on Review: The Never List by Koethi Zan

Every girl has a list of ‘nevers’ that they follow to keep themselves safe.

Never walk to your car alone late at night. Never accept an open drink from a men you don’t know. Never get into cars with strangers. Never, never, never.

Everyone’s never list is bound to be different. For me the cardinal rule is never get into a car with strangers and that is the same rule that best friends Sarah and Jennifer violate one fateful night.

Sarah and Jennifer have a lengthy list of ‘nevers’ that range from avoiding natural disasters, to avoiding rape and kidnapping. Their never list has served them well all the way up into college until one night they decide to take a cab.

Review: The Riddle of Solomon: Book Two (The Sarah Weston Chronicles #2) by D. J. Niko

by The Lit Bitch3 Comments on Review: The Riddle of Solomon: Book Two (The Sarah Weston Chronicles #2) by D. J. Niko

Get ready for a thrilling ride through the Near East and its history! This is the first book in a while that I’ve stayed up late to devour!

The only way I can describe this book is this: it’s a mixture of Lara Croft Tomb Rider, Indiana Jones, The Mummy, and The Davinci Code.

Now I realize these are mostly film references, but this book was so vivid that I felt like I was watching a film while reading.

If I had to pick a literary reference, I would say it’s a modern day Amelia Peabody mystery that meets The Davinci Code.

It’s full of riddles and codes like The Davinci Code, and it’s got the archaeological mystery mixed with the occult that made both Indiana Jones and The Mummy so popular, plus the action and a bad ass heroine like Lara Croft Tomb Raider!
