Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2269 KP) rated Death of Riley (Molly Murphy Mysteries, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
New immigrant Molly Murphy has decided to take on a job as a private investigator. Somehow, she talks Riley into mentoring her. However, when he is murdered, Molly is on her own trying to find out what happened to him. Another great visit to 1901 New York, this one introduces more series regular characters and is stronger than the debut in the series.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2269 KP) rated O' Artful Death in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Sweeney St. George studies gravestones, so an unique one in Vermont is too much for her to resist. It is rumored that a murder is connected to the gravestone, but when a modern murder happens, Sweeney is left wondering what the connection might be. This series has an interesting hook and great characters. The plot was fascinating as well. Good start to an interesting series.

Clare Parrott (294 KP) rated The Master in Books

I loved this book. I've only read one other from this series and it was quite some time ago but I fell straight back into the story and it's as if I'd never left (Yes that is the proper use for 'it's' Thank you Cole) I love that Cole is a stickler for the correct use for words and how he makes Sasha write her feels down in the journal. I'm just going to have to read the rest of the series again now
CKD (37 KP) rated Home to Big Stone Gap (Big Stone Gap, Book 4) in Books
Dec 7, 2018
The Big Stone Gap book series was a wonderful read. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters....Ave Maria, Jack Mac, Iva Lou, Fleeta, Pearl...and all the others. Great stories, made all the more real because the author is from Big Stone Gap, VA. I've heard that they are making the first novel into a movie. Should be interesting. I feel that most books turned into movies do not usually turn out well, with a few exceptions. I highly recommend this series.
David McK (3496 KP) rated Fortress of Spears (Empire, #3) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The third book in Antony Riches <i>Empire</i> series of novels which, while better than the last, if I'm honest I still found to be pretty slow going, plodding and just not really all that exciting.
As before, I could never really connect with any of the characters or with the events described and, as such, just found this to be at times a bit of a tedious read.
3 books in and I've yet to really enjoy the series: maybe it's just not for me!

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated A Fistful of Charms (The Hollows, #4) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
I'm still in a bit of a rut in relation to paranormal books but I was determined to finish this, especially considering I'd been reading it for over two weeks--which is ridiculous when I think the third book in the series took me 2/3 days.
I enjoyed it the more I read and reading more of Rachel, Ivy and Jenks was nice. They get themselves into some right situations at times.
I'm not going to read any more of the series yet.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Death Rejoices (The Marnie Baranuik Files #2) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
4.5 stars.
I still love this series.
Witty, paranormal, adventure/mysteries with Marnie and the team. If you haven't read this series yet and like the sound of it, I definitely recommend you buy it.
Long but oh, so good.
P.S. I'm still holding out for a Mark Batten/Marnie Baranuik full on romance--maybe possibly with Harry not minding sharing her or not in the frame at all, though I can't see that happening. Maybe in book three which I am dying to buy!

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Heller's Revenge (Heller, #2) in Books
Jan 7, 2021
I'm still so intrigued by this series. The will they/won't they of Heller and Tilly. It's obvious they both want to, and I'm quite literally begging them to!, but they're resisting--well Tilly's resisting--and it's driving me mad!
I felt like we missed out on more bonding time with Tilly, Niq and Daniel. They make such a cute trio with their teasing and general messing around. But once again i am straight off to buy book 3 in the series to see what happens next.
