The cover and synopsis of Atonement by B.J. Daniels sold me, and then after I realized it was the fourth book in the Beartooth, Montana series. Worries about jumping in late were quickly dismissed as each book can be read as a standalone. Daniels did an excellent job of reintroducing older characters and making me feel comfortable. Mini review: suspenseful, multiple story threads and a slow-building romance kept me captivated.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote is a classic written in 1958 this iconic tale has been captured on film and pleased audiences on Broadway. My first introduction to Breakfast at Tiffany’s was the movie starring Audrey Hepburn and the title immediately brings to mind the song, ‘Moon River”. Mini review: a brief glimpse into the quirky life of Holly Golightly and her impact on those whose path she crosses.
It is no secret that I am a fan of this urban fantasy series and I devoured Night Broken the eighth book in Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson series. A strange threat, an ex-wife and another coyote-shifter made for an interesting read. Of course getting more snuggle time with Adam is always a plus. Mini review: monster myths, digs, banter and danger abound.
I am not going to lie, I saw the synopsis and jumped at that chance to read Cider Brook by Carla Neggers, before realizing I was stepping into book three of the Swift River Valley series. I mean can you blame me, look at that synopsis. Firefighter. Treasure hunter. Rescuer. While this can be read as a standalone, I think I would have enjoyed this more from the beginning. Mini review: Low romance, interesting treasure hunt, small-town magic.
I love my shows, and I tend to like ones that deal with paranormal, murder, mystery, science fiction and the supernatural. Here are a few shows that I DVR religiously and who can make me squeal like its release day for my most anticipated books.
