We’re back with a thriller/suspense Mini Review from Kaetrin! Narrated by Steven Weber & Laura Benanti Six minutes after takeoff, Flight 1421 crashes into the Pacific Ocean. During the evacuation, an engine explodes and the plane is flooded. Those still alive are forced to close the doors—but it’s too late. The plane sinks to the…
Narrated by Steven Weber I picked up Falling after a promo video by the author about her next book (Drowning – not yet released) was retweeted into my Twitter feed. I clicked, listened, was intrigued and then went and looked up both books. Falling is apparently being made into a movie and I think it…
Narration by Susan Bennett Being a huge fan of twisty and unique plots, the blurb for Sunburn caught my eye. So, though unfamiliar with the author, I decided to give it a shot. Well, true to the blurb, this story certainly was full of twists and turns, though I’m not sure there was a ton…
When I heard about this anthology and the clever conceit behind it – five famous authors have contributed novellas, but only the publisher knows who penned each story – I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Sight Unseen is an intriguing idea, and it’s a real challenge to guess who penned each…
I’m not ashamed to admit I squealed a little bit when I saw this book coming out soon. I have been waiting for this book since I finished the first in the series, The High King’s Golden Tongue. I loved the world that Megan Derr created for this series, The Tales of the High Court,…
Raise your hand if you think grave robbing is sexy and romantic. No one? Yeah, me neither. But it was definitely a staple of medical students and full-fledged doctors in the 1820s. Somehow, the author of Dark Economy makes both the mystery and the characters shine on their gothic backdrop. I’m not sure how the…
I generally don’t pick up books I think I’ll hate. The Dragon’s Curse by Victoria Zagar looked like it could be great, with a terrible racial war, two men fighting against the war and their families (or rather, one family, the other isn’t bad at all), and dragons. But that story was not this story….
I love flawed characters. They make a story so much more interesting. I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t want to read about a perfect hero and heroine (or in this case, hero and hero.) I want the characters to be approachable, and since I am in no way perfect, I want to…
I found Gilded hard to review and hard to grade. There are many things I liked about it, particularly the setting, world-building, and primary characters. But though I fundamentally got the story arc, I wasn’t very happy with the way this book ended. This book is the second of The St. Croix Chronicles, described as…
Goode’s sequel to Tales from Foster High is a thought-provoking cautionary tale about what love and hate mean. High school seniors Kyle and Brad start the year thinking about sex and end the first semester knowing what real love and compassion are. Told in alternating perspectives, this book sets a lively pace from the outset….
