Elisabet’s Will by Sandra Sperling
I love Sperling’s books. She writes with such wit and her characters are terrific, she really brings them to life. Frequently I read along, shaking my head positively because I can relate to the characters. This book is a little different from her previous endeavors in that this is a story of crime and the … Continue reading Elisabet’s Will by Sandra Sperling

Pivot: Book one of the Jack Harper Trilogy by L. C. Barlow
Psychological horror at its best! I think that my skin is still crawling even after a shower. Nothing scares me more than egomaniacal narcissistic cult leaders that manipulate children, except maybe the other adults that help out. Barlow has written an absolutely horrifying novel about Jack Harper who was raised from the age of 7 … Continue reading Pivot: Book one of the Jack Harper Trilogy by L. C. Barlow
Humpty Bumpty by Sam Cheever
Aside from the fact that pieces of a dead body are found in a wood chipper and spread around the site, this is a really fun cozy mystery. It isn’t graphic, so the gore is short and simply stated, but none the less hard to get around. Joey, recently orphaned at the age of 24 … Continue reading Humpty Bumpty by Sam Cheever
The Ex by Margaret Ferguson
I was so excited to receive the second book in the Rogue Warrior series. I had waited patiently for this having enjoyed the first so much - rather like waiting for Grisham or Child to hurry up and write another. I am thrilled to point out that this was nothing short of 5 stars! Eddie … Continue reading The Ex by Margaret Ferguson

Past Tense by Lee Child
I love Jack Reacher. I think I am in awe of him. Everytime a new book comes out by Lee Child, I rush to get it. Some authors are just like that, but then when you finish the book (in one sitting because you can not put it down) you go into a kind of … Continue reading Past Tense by Lee Child
