John Scalzi is an auto-buy for me and has been since I met him at a Chicago book con. Monsters of Ohio takes listeners to Richland, Ohio, a depressed farming-town who has seen local plants close and is concerned that the last remaining one will as well. Our protagonist has returned to regroup just as a transformation begins… dun, dun, dun. A hilarious, thought-provoking cozy sci-fi/horror.
As a fan of National Treasure and The DaVinci Code, I was drawn to the blurb of You, Me, & the Conspiracy by Emma Barry. While this fell solidly in the romantic genre, I enjoyed the secret society and suspenseful moments.
I was in the mood for a feel good, small-town romance and decided to dive into Wood You Be Mine by Daphne Elliot. This is the first novel in the Lovewell Lumberjacks series and I am already looking forward to heading back to Lovewell Maine.
Narrated by Saskia Maarleveld, Witches of Questionable Intent by Jenn McKinlay is the second audiobook in the Books of Dubious Origin series. This paranormal cozy mystery series offers suspense, a secret library of magical books and a motley crew of characters charged with protecting them. This was an addictive installment as Zoe continued to learn how to handle her newfound powers.
Sophia Rose is here with the a review of the mystery thriller Everyone’s a Liar by Alexandra Ivy. In this gothic standalone the author takes us to a Southern Louisiana family mansion in the bayous. You won’t want to miss this standalone mystery.
