Hazel (2934 KP) rated Fatal Witness (Detective Erika Foster #7) in Books
Jul 10, 2022
An absolute cracker of a book!!!
I haven't read any of the Erika Foster series before so I was a little worried that I would struggle coming in this late but having read the author's Kate Marshall series, I should have known this wouldn't be an issue. I definitely feel this can be read as a standalone even though I know I will have missed the character development and back story but it really wasn't an issue for me.
With excellent characters, a really good plot and written at a great pace, this is a riveting read and one which I thoroughly enjoyed and couldn't put down.
Thank you Raven Street Publishing and NetGalley for enabling me to read Fatal Witness and share my thoughts.

ArecRain (8 KP) rated The Trouble with Mistletoe (Heartbreaker Bay, #2) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
Despite being the second in a series, The Trouble with Mistletoe is a standalone that can be enjoyed without reading the first.
I have never read from this author before, but I enjoyed her easy light hearted style. From page one, I knew I was going to enjoy the authors humor as well as characters. From the beginning, it was hard not to like Willa. She is sweet, kind-hearted, and funny at no ones expense. Keane was just as likable. Despite their troubles and pasts, there was a delightful lack of angst and self-loathing. A definite win in my opinion.
Just in time for the beginning of the holiday season, The Trouble with Mistletoe is lovely read for those wanting a sweet, not too complicated romance.

AJaneClark (3975 KP) rated Taming the Lone Wolff in Books
Feb 20, 2021
This is sixth in a series but can be read as a standalone. This is the story of Security Firm Owner Larkin and Winnie, abuse survivor, a woman of wealth, and owner of a secret home for abused women.
Winnie employs Larkin to protect her and her women's' home following an article listing Winnie Bellamy as one of the wealthiest women in America. Larkin ups the security at her home, before whisking her away to his family compound on Wolff Mountain to keep her safe.
They both try there hardest to ignore the mutual attraction and try their hardest to maintain their professional relationship, but they find it difficult to keep their hands to themselves.
The characters are likeable and the story is enjoyable, if not a little predictable and cheesy.

Ooooo, this is good!
Jane Casey is one of my favourite authors and I love her Maeve Kerrigan series, so when I saw this, I couldn't click fast enough and I was not disappointed; this is a standalone but every bit as good.
This is absolutely gripping from start to finish; full of so much tension and a general creepiness that gets right in your head. The characters are excellent and John Webster is a brilliant "baddie".
This is one of those books when you think you've nailed it and then it kicks you in the teeth and you have to start guessing all over again ... I love it!!
Totally recommended to lovers of this genre.
Thank you to HarperCollinsUK/HarperFiction and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

Eleanor Luhar (47 KP) rated Adventures of Superman Vol. 1 in Books
Jun 24, 2019
This is a collection of standalone comics featuring the Man of Steel. Lex Luthor stars in several, as well as Bizarro, Lois Lane and many other infamous characters.
One comic includes Metropolis in a bottle, while another requires Superman's help with a child that has been moved across the timeline. In one, Lex even reveals plans to run for US president.
There's a great undercurrent of humour in many of these, and several comics give an insight to the day-to-day lives of different characters. The final episode in this volume is possibly my favourite - featuring fans of Superman who require his assistance. I thought this story was so clever, and pretty emotional, too.
This is very nearly in my favourite books list. Each story is so interesting and unique. 4.5 stars.
