Review:A generally satisfying crime story, with two narrative strands. The first one centres on a group of five women setting out on a teamwork three day experience in dense bushland, also the site of serial murders some time in the past. Five set out, but only four return. The second strand follows the search for the missing woman and two federal police are involved because they are investigating possible money laundering in the company the women work for.
The truth is revealed in flashbacks about ... Read more

Review:I enjoyed the book and the readers did a fantastic job.
This a story about A woman who took matters into her own hands to get what she wanted, and now at the end of her life having to reconcile those choices. Read more

Review:Laughter followed by painful emotional bumps galore in this second part of Tessa and Arthur’s lives. Down to earth, modern tale which also offers us readers a bit of the unusual.

I highly recommend this book to any romantic, fun-loving person out there... this includes both men and women. Pick it up and read it. You won’t be sorry! Read more

Review:The writing style is simple. A lot of telling and not much showing, in short sentences with simple words. Details of the times and places created a believable Irish Catholic world. I appreciated those details, but felt I was learning about this family more than I was caring about them. Read more

Review:Poetic prose and vivid imagery make this a great read about the struggles of a family dealing with a horrible tragedy. The reader cannot help but mourn and hurt along with the flawed characters, and hope for healing. Read more

Review:“In my reckless and undiscouraged youth,” Lillian Boxfish writes, “I worked in a walnut-paneled office thirteen floors above West Thirty-Fifth Street…”

She took 1930s New York by storm, working her way up writing copy for R.H. Macy’s to become the highest paid advertising woman in the country. It was a job that, she says, “in some ways saved my life, and in other ways ruined it.”

Now it’s the last night of 1984 and Lillian, 85 years old but just as sharp and savvy as ever, is o... Read more

Review:This book has been an excellent source of entertainment. While it is well below the reading level of what usually read I have enjoyed it and have been unable to predict it's outcome. I would suggest this book for Middle school aged children and up because it does deal with the death and injury of various characters. Not graphic in nature but possibly confusing and complicated for younger children to read on their own. Feel free to purchase this book, it is worth the price. Read more

Review:Anne Bishop brings her Black Jewels trilogy to its exciting conclusion in "Queen of the Darkness." Jaenelle has established her court, and Daemon has escaped the Twisted Kingdom, but Dorothea and Heketah continue to scheme at spreading Hayll's corrupting influence into Kaeleer, inciting a war that threatens to destroy all the Blood in both realms.
The story finishes as strongly as it began in "Daughter of the Blood." Bishop has created a fascinating, immersive world with these books, filled w... Read more

Review:I first became enamored with Ms. Bishop's writing in reading her series about the Others. When I saw this book, I was pretty sure I'd be in for a great read. Boy Howdy! Was I ever!!

Anne Bishop creates marvelous worlds, fantastical and yet believable. The world of the Jewels is unlike any I've ever read. It is spellbinding, it is dark with shafts of brilliant light. It is the story of Jaenelle Agneline, born Witch, the "dream made flesh" and her struggles to stay sane, and free from the a... Read more

Review:Recently discovered Anne Bishop and just binge read this series. I'm a big fan of Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stack house books and these remind me of that series quite a bit. The writing and the characters are charming and funny but the stories move at a fast pace. Looking forward to the next one. Read more
