Midnight Exposure

Midnight Exposure by Melinda Leigh

January 24, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Unfortunately this first book in the series didn’t grab me. I might try to read another book in the series. This one was just kind of all over the place and nothing really works once you started getting into the book. And the romance just felt like it came out of nowhere. “Midnight Exposure” follows a photographer named Jayne Sullivan who has come to Maine to get exclusive pictures of a sculptor. Instead she becomes the focus of a serial killer while there. She also […]

Reading This During the Holidays Was Probably a Mistake

We Are Monsters by Brian Kirk

December 26, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Eh. I tried to get into this. I gave up halfway through and just grudgingly finished this thing over a period of like four weeks. Bah. It had a great premise, it just got boring to me halfway through. And then I kept finding other books to read instead. Maybe if I hadn’t started King’s “The Institute” (nope still not done) and seen some similar themes here, it […]

Still the Best Reveal…

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie

December 26, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Updated: December 2019.  This book still is for me the best murder mystery I have read. Christie totally deserves all of the accolades she got for this book. I loved every minute of it and the set-up. I still gasped when we have our Poirot deducing who killed Roger Ackroyd.  I started reading Agatha Christie about a year or so ago. I had only read three of her Miss Marple novels and this was my first Hercule Poirot novel. I was once again pleasantly surprised […]

Twenties Girl

Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella

December 26, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Updated: December 2019: So, I am a dumb ass. I thought I liked this book when I first read it. Since I was in a reading slump I grabbed this and a few other books to re-read during Christmas Day. Ugh. This is still goofy and irritating for all of the reasons I said below. However, having wine and cheese while reading this made the book much more palatable.    I have always been fascinated by the 20s. You had the so-called Jazz Age, women fighting […]

Surrender

Surrender by Amanda Quick

December 26, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

This is definitely a re-read. I just never got around to posting a review for this book eons ago. Not much to say except I loved the heroine in this one (Victoria) and hero (Lucas). The two of them being thrown together due to Lucas needing an heiress and Victoria wanting adventure sets them on a fun collision course. Of course based on the time period there are a few times you want Lucas to get kicked hard someplace. He talks about his husbandly rights […]

Broken Harbor

Broken Harbor by Tana French

December 26, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Updated: December 2019: Nothing more to add except this was a great read! I just re-read since I finished up French’s “The Witch Elm” and that book had me missing the Dublin Murder Squad. This book really does knock you in the teeth with a great ending I did not see coming. What a great installment in the Dublin Murder Squad. I didn’t like Scorcher in the last book, but loved him here. It makes you sad that he was thinking of a long time partner […]
