Malin reviewed The Hook Up a few days ago and made it sound pretty irresistible. And then she made it harder to resist by sending me a copy. She is a good person and will surely be rewarded in whatever afterlife happens, or maybe next year, who knows. When I started to read the book, I came across a moment with Anna (our female protagonist) and her best friend Iris in which Anna mentions she has this gif (->) on her computer. Any one who […]
She’s a lounge singer. He’s a linguistics professor (and a spy). Together they hunt bad guys
Laney Lancaster has been on the run from her monstrous ex-husband for the past two years. While he’s in jail (because of Laney), she knows that there is no way he’d let his many efficient and ruthless henchmen stop looking for her. Hiding as a lounge singer in a hotel in Bangkok, Laney is aware that the brothers of her friend Rajini may be involved with organised crime, but they have also been keeping her safe, with a job and a place to stay. She […]
The hero’s a tight-end, and you’d better believe there are jokes about that
4.5 stars Gray Grayson does not have female friends, he has former and future conquests. The closest thing he has to a female friend is his best friend Drew‘s new girlfriend. That’s it. So no one is more surprised than he, when he seems to be developing a close relationship with a woman he’s never even met, via text message of all things. When Gray has to lend his own car to Drew for a while, he’s left with no other options than to borrow […]
I neither know nor care about American football, but this book was entertaining
Anna was either bullied or completely ignored in high school. With the exception of a few loyal friends, she was pretty much a social outcast. She has worked hard to become comfortable with herself and her body image. So when her college’s star quarterback addresses her as “Big Red” in one of their shared classes, he instantly earns her animosity. Drew Baylor is tall, gorgeous, extremely athletic and popular in all areas of college life. As Anna just wants to keep her head down and […]
I hope you appreciate how I didn’t just quote the entire book at you
Oh people, how do I even start reviewing this book? I’m pretty sure I devoured the whole thing in less than two hours total (in between running errands, meeting up with friends, working and other stuff). I can tell you that for the bits that worked for me (about 75% of the book), I laughed so hard on occasion that my abs hurt. If I’d actually got the final 25%, this book would have been 5 stars, for sure. I kept quoting bits out loud […]
One of the less interesting “episodes”, really
As this is book 26 in the In Death series (and probably somewhere in the mid-thirties in terms of Eve and Roarke stories if you count novellas as well), I shouldn’t have to tell you that it might be best if you start at the beginning, with Naked in Death. Although since these books play pretty much like a any murder of the week procedural on telly, and none of them tend to require you to jump in a the beginning, you’ll be able to […]
