Book Rating

Her life is devoted to justice; for those she never even knew. In the year since Temperance Brennan left behind a shaky marriage in North Carolina, work has often preempted her weekend plans to explore Quebec. When a female corpse is discovered meticulously dismembered and stashed in trash bags, Temperance detects an alarming pattern and she plunges into a harrowing search for a killer. But her investigation is about to place those closest to her, her best friend and her own daughter, in mortal danger...

Really good!

I had no idea it was connected to the TV series Bones when I started reading it, very glad I didn't although Im glad I was told as it helped picturing Temperance. Loved the book although remind me not to be eating while reading 🤣. Looking forward to getting stuck into the series!!

Trying to pigeonhole Crawl is difficult. Kaya S. plays a collegiate swimmer who receives a call from her sister worried about their father, a martinet swimming coach. Florida is facing a Category 5 hurricane and everyone is supposed to evacuate. However, their father went back to their childhood home and is now trapped in the crawlspace with shock from an alligator bite. Now father and daughter must battle farm-raised alligators. I am pretty sure that building a drain pipe near an alligator farm in storm-threatened Florida was boneheaded as was having both male and female gators. The movie never really addresses the eggs Kaya finds except for one scene with a baby gsator that possibly nips her. One doesn't go to a creature feature expected highly intelligent characters or plot so overall the film entertains and leaves the audience joyfilled.

Ice Hockey & Romance

Kindle recommended Whiskey’s work after I had devoured my way through Helena Hunting’s books on the same theme... Ice Hockey and Romance, and I was not disappointed.

Bailey and Gage have been friends since they were children, and after a previous accident, Bailey stepped in to support Gage by becoming a live-in nanny for his adorable daughter Scarlett.
Great in theory, but the undeniable attraction between Bailey and Gage could not go ignored. But will it be enough for a happy ending?

I really enjoyed reading the first in the Seattle Sharks series, getting to know the sharks and learning the heart warming story of the blossoming passion and love between Bailey and Gage.

The story was wonderfully well written, and the energy and emotions were palpable. I look forward to reading the others in the series.
