Jonah Pastern is a magician, a liar, a windwalker, a professional thief… which about sums up the character as we met him in ‘A Flight of Magpies’. This book is set shortly after that one and is a linked story to that world. You don’t necessarily have to read the Magpie trilogy to understand this book, but it certainly helps since many of the characters make an appearance here. Based on Jonah’s actions in the previous book, I wasn’t sure he would be a guy […]
Husbands and Heartache
“Seven husbands. Which one did she love best? Which one was the real one?” This book had me turning the pages pretty quickly to find out what would happen next, and I read nearly all of it in one day. It tells the tale of Hollywood legend Evelyn Hugo, who escaped the humble beginnings in Hell’s Kitchen to live out her dream of becoming an actress in Hollywood. Born Evelyn Herrara, of Cuban descent, she is a blend of Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren and Elizabeth […]
The Forgotten Children of London (And Cannonball!)
This is the 12th (!) Sebastian St. Cyr mystery, which means I have come to the end of the published books. I have really enjoyed the entire series, and Ms Harris has done an excellent job of keeping the storylines interesting. Coming to the end of this is probably not a bad thing with the warmer weather and my lack of free time to read as much as before. It also coincides with my 52nd book and reaching Cannonball! Over the course of three years […]
Murder in a Small Village
Book 11 in the series moves Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, out of London to the seemingly sleepy Shropshire village to visit the grandmother of Jamie Knox (a man who was most likely a half-brother, and killed in the last book because of his resemblance to Devlin) and to hopefully uncover more clues to his parentage. Alas, even in such peaceful surroundings the grim reaper raises its ugly head. A young woman is discovered dead on the bank of the river, and all indications point […]
One for Sorrow, Two for Joy
Danger in the air. Lovers on the brink. And we’re back for another magical, dangerous and hot as sin story with Lucien and Stephen in the third book of the Charm of Magpies trilogy. If you haven’t read the first two books in the series, you really need to do so or you would be rather lost – plus they are well worth reading! Lucien, Lord Crane, continues to be one of the hottest, most intelligent, carelessly elegant heroes I’ve had the pleasure to read […]
Clueless In The Sierra Mountains
I’ll start off this review by saying I’ve not read anything else by Jill Shalvis, but if this book is an indication of her writing…it doesn’t encourage me to try another book. I picked this up based on the cover blurb: When she gets left at the altar, city girl Breanne decides to go on her honeymoon alone. She ends up snowed in at a Sierra mountains lodge, then discovers that her room has been double-booked, and she ends up sharing with burned-out cop Cooper […]
