“Beyond Her Reach” follows Bree and her deputies after they are called to a murder scene where the victim was practically decapitated. The victim was dealing with a contentious divorce and seemed to have a new boyfriend who wasn’t that into her as she maybe was. The book follows Bree as they try to hunt down the killer before they strike again. Well I wasn’t in the mood to wait on another book so just swapped this one for a planned read. Eh. This was […]

I always love the Bree Taggart series, but this one just didn’t do it for me. I think because the ultimate reveals just didn’t make a lot of sense and felt like they came out of nowhere and in the end I just wasn’t left with a good feeling like I usually am in the series. “Track Her Down” follows Bree and Matt as they work what looks like a home invasion gone wrong. However, the two of them quickly realize something bigger may be […]

Please note I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. So this was a fantastic read in the Bree Taggert series. Maybe because this is the first one where Leigh decided to have us follow the murderer the way we did. I was honestly surprised by the reveal of who it was too (which I always love) and loved the back and forth chapters following Bree and Matt via third person point of view to the first person point […]

Great installment in the Bree Taggert series. The only reason why I didn’t give this 5 stars was that Bree was being ridiculous about how the video with her images would not affect things as sheriff. It just felt very naïve for a detective that worked in Philadelphia and has seen a lot of things. I also thought that parts of the book didn’t even make any sense. The whole militia movement subplot could have been cut honestly. That said, the book characterization, writing, and […]

Midnight Exposure

Midnight Exposure by Melinda Leigh

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 […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
