Review:Action packed and fast paced as usual for John Mefford. Now Ozzie has his backpack loaded, and is ready for a new start with Nicole by his side. New start? New house? Bet it won't be a slam dunk. Can't wait for the next one. Read more

Review:IN Defiance introduces the reader to Ivy Nash, a foster kid living a difficult life who grows up to become a case worker for the foster system helping kids just like herself get decent placements. And when we meet Ivy the caseworker, it is obvious that she is seeking the best for the kids she is assigned, she truly cares for their wellbeing, which is completely opposite many other case workers. Let me stop here and say that this book “IN Defiance” gives a very good behind the scenes view of th... Read more

Review:I have enjoyed Anna Quindlen's non-fiction, and I thought I might find her novel about life in Manhattan to be infused with the humor and perceptiveness so evident in her essays. Alas, this book was a tedious read, and I finished it only because I kept hoping it would get better. I found the characters to be superficial and the plot almost non-existent. I felt like I was reading the journal of a boring woman who shared way too much detail about little things that no one other than the protagonis... Read more

Review:The book has a good storyline that is absorbing and captivating. The characters are intriguing, enticing, and well developed. I did like reading this book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Read more

Review:⚠️Warning: You will be sleeping with the lights on after reading this book!
Welcome to the dark, obsessive mind of Michael Hayes.

Mike and Verity (known as V) had an intense relationship, to put it mildly! Their favorite past-time? Frequenting the local bar scene to “Crave”.
What is crave, you ask? Well, in order to avoid spoiling the party, I’ll just say it’s an adult game played that somehow proves their love and desire for one another.

When their relationship eventually fr... Read more

Review:These 3 stars are measuring Cryoburn against the rest of the Vorkosigan series; by any other standards it is well-written and presents a technology and an end-of-life issue truly worth pondering. But I pondered instead why I was disappointed.

Cryoburn does not have the weave of story arcs and characters pursuing different agendas whose convergence makes the rest of the series so entertaining. More tellingly (and perhaps spoilers for those who would otherwise read in anticipation) some vil... Read more

Review:Why can’t this series have better covers? I know accuracies are never true to books (or at least they’re dang rare) but come on! His height! Eugh.

Anyway. Told from Roic’s point of view (one of the lesser ranked staff in Vorkosigan house), we see guests and distant family return to Barrayar for the wedding between spoilers. You know whom. One of those who returns is Taura who is already getting on in her years, and we see more of her than most of the other characters. It would have also b... Read more

Review:I was greatly intrigued by the characters in The Curse of Chalion, and enjoyed the new twists added in The Paladin of Souls, but this third volume is mostly just "more of the same", and disappointing in comparison. Still, though, there are some new ideas, and Lois McMaster Bujold is always good in comparison to most other writers. If you liked either of the first two you should read it. Read more
