Government drone by day and book lover and geek girl by night! I review on Goodreads, StoryGraph, and NetGalley.

The Wrong Sister by Claire Douglas

The Wrong Sister by Claire Douglas

January 9, 2025 by Classic 2 Comments

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review.  This wasn’t anything too surprising in the end. I just thought there were way too many plot holes to be believed and the ending was a letdown. I thought that the main character, Tasha, was written inconsistently. And per usual, writers make it seem like the police are just going to hard shrug about murders and let them go, especially when there’s enough evidence to make you go, […]

The Bachelorette Party by Camilla Sten

The Bachelorette Party by Camilla Sten

January 9, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. You would think a locked room mystery (an island cut off from everything except by boat or ferry) would be my jam, but this was boring and at times defied any type of logic. I think jumping around the timelines didn’t help either. All in all, just a snooze. “The Bachelorette Party” takes place off the coast of Sweden. During timeline one, we have four friends–Tilly, Anna, Linnea […]

The Lost House by Melissa Larsen

The Lost House by Melissa Larsen

January 9, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. I was so hopeful on this one, but the book falls apart before it even gets going and the ending had me going okay then. I liked the idea of the Agnes going to Iceland to see if she can figure out what happened to her grandfather’s wife and daughter, but it was so hamfisted and it just didn’t work. I am realizing that maybe it would have been […]

Imitation in Death by J.D. Robb

Divided in Death by J.D. Robb

Indulgence in Death by J.D. Robb

New York to Dallas by J.D. Robb

Celebrity in Death by J.D. Robb

December 31, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

It’s been so much fun re-reading the earlier In Death books this year. I am going to post reviews of the ones that I never did again next year as well. I can’t get to my bookcases right now (burst pipe, room if back together thankfully, but contractors still need to paint and put my stuff back where it was) so these are the only ones that I had sitting around upstairs that I had access to. And some where on my Kindle., I realized […]

Bookworm

Bookworm by Robin Yeatman

December 31, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

I received this book via NetGalley. This did not effect my rating or review. Did Not Finish-40 percent I tried. This book was pretty bad. I ended up disliking the main character, Victoria and could not get into it. I know this was a black comedy, but I just went, okay this is not my cup of tea. At all. I thought at times she had to be a psychopath. “Bookworm” follows Victoria, who we quickly find out is not happily married to her husband […]

Don’t Fear the Reaper

Don't Fear the Reaper by Stephen Graham Jones

December 31, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this via NetGalley. This did not effect my rating or review.  I just need to give up. I am never going to be in love with Stephen Graham Jones works like my horror friends are. I have tried people. This book was just a mess. Parts of it shone, and I get why my friends like his books when you get to the shiny parts. But the whole plot just gets beyond confusing at one point. And I am so […]
