Solid Installment in Death, but Timeline Drives me Bonkers!

Vendetta in Death by J.D. Robb

October 22, 2019 by Classic 1 Comment

Well we have the 49th in Death novel and it’s pretty solid. I am going to say though, if Bella (Mavis’s daughter) is 1 freaking years old and can somehow read we have issues. Also it’s only been a year?? “Born in Death” was book number 23 and I don’t want every book to be a year, but good lord can they at least be 6 months or something? I think the biggest issue I have is that that Eve and Roarke have grown so […]

A Return to Form for Eve Dallas

Connections in Death by J.D. Robb

May 3, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

So, my initial thoughts of “Connections in Death” hold. However, I have to admit that I can’t give this five stars because I am now realizing it’s a bit off that Eve doesn’t get that maybe other people have different upbringings and it’s not all roses. I am happy that we get to see another side of New York though and it’s not just the rich and famous all of the time. “Connections in Death” focuses on Eve investigating when a woman she just meets […]

Okay, but don’t read this book, it’s not safe.

February 5, 2018 by narfna 11 Comments

Just as a heads up, I will be calling the police at the end of this review to report a crime, because this book and its author tried to murder me. Does anyone know the legislation about this? Can I have a book arrested for assault? Okay, but seriously, this book is a monster. There were several points where I nearly threw it across the room, I was so upset. And then I kept going and almost immediately it became clear why Palmer did that […]

This book, I need y’all to read it so I can talk about it with someone!

September 12, 2017 by narfna 9 Comments

This might be the weirdest book I’ve ever read. Well, the weirdest book I’ve read that I actually ended up enjoying. I might have to think a while before officially giving it that award. My instinct is to put this review away and not think about it for weeks. I just want to sit with the story, let it brew and fester in my mind a little bit. But I know if I do that, I will forget everything and end up floundering around when […]

Stepford Town, but not as clever.

June 24, 2017 by Mim Leave a Comment

I recently got off work a bit early (one of the many down sides of being a Fry Minion, you get sent home because of “labor costs.”) and having nothing to do but surf my phone, downloaded a reader (how did I live without one?) and started perusing my to-be-read pile, which is quite large.  Wayward was one of the first books in the stack, (it was ahead of its prequel, even, which I have not read.)  I’m used to starting series in the middle […]

Tis the Season to be Bashing! Tra La La La La!

March 10, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

Happy sigh. This is one of my favorite re-reads. I tend to read it around the Christmas season. But seriously. I needed a happy (as it can be) In Death book. It gets to be a bit of a grind to just read about rape and murder in every other book. Memory in Death (In Death #22) is a really good Eve Dallas and Roarke book. We get to spend about equal time with Roarke in this one. And I just sadly realized it’s been […]
