I'm an author, but I'm also a reader. From time to time, I'll share my reviews of present and past reads. My available time to read is limited because I write, but I love to curl up with a paperback or an eBook at night for the last hour of my day.
I tend to read what I write, but not exclusively. Besides
Romantic Suspense and mystery, I read crime and law novels, once in a while a
true story, WWII historicals, romance, and mainstream character driven books.
Here are some of the books I've read recently or in the not-too-distant past.
Maybe you'll discover a new book or author.
A sad, strange coincidence. .
.that's Dr. Kacey Lambert's initial response to the deaths of two women who
bear an uncanny resemblance to herself. It's not like there was any real
connection between Kacey and the B-movie actress or the elementary school teacher.
But Detective Selena Alvarez suspects otherwise.
Can Be. . .
One of the bodies contained traces of poison at the time of death. Selena and
her partner, Detective Regan Pescoli, can find no motive for murder. But Kacey
has started to notice ties between the dead women's lives and her own--all
close in age, born within miles of each other. And all have links to Trace
O'Halleran, the man Kacey just started dating.
Deadly. . .
The deeper Kacey digs, the more reason she has to fear. More look-alikes are
dying, and the killer is getting bolder and more brutal. And Kacey knows it's
only a matter of time before hers is the next name on a list of those who were
born to die. . .
I waited too long to review this book. My memory… But I do remember that I enjoyed it. I refuse to finish books that aren’t entertaining me. The only thing that made me scratch my head was there were so many women. Not that I have anything against women, I am one. But the lack of diversity was noticeable. The cops are women, the detective is female, the doctor is a woman. I was beginning to think it was an all-female book. But there is a hero, Trace O’Halleran, and his characterization is appealing. It’s a suspenseful read I can recommend.
J.J. Graves has seen a lot of dead
bodies in her line of work...She's not only in the mortuary business, but she's
also the coroner for King George County, Virginia. When a grisly murder is
discovered in the small town of Bloody Mary, it's up to J.J. and her best
friend, Detective Jack Lawson, to bring the victim justice. The murders are
piling up...When a popular mystery writer shows up on J.J.'s doorstep with
plans of writing his new book about the Bloody Mary Serial Killer, J.J. has to
decide if he might be going above and beyond the call of duty to create the
spine tinglers he's so well known for. Passions are rising...J.J and Jack
discover each victim had a shocking secret, and the very foundation of J.J.'s
life is in danger of crumbling when it turns out she’s harboring secrets of her
own—secrets that make her a perfect target in a deadly game.
J.J. is actually in a bad financial way,
in a tiny town where not enough people die, and trying to hold on to the
mortuary that her parents left her. J.J. is a great character and so is her cop
friend Jack. The story is clever, but the characters in the story are what I
enjoyed the most. Her fast-fall relationship with Brody rubbed me wrong. There
were holes here and there in the plot. But all in all, I enjoyed it for the
most part.
