Review: The Women by Kristin Hannah

Review: The Women by Kristin Hannah

The Women is the story of the forgotten nurses and women who served on the Vietnam War. I don’t know much about the Vietnam War (even though I am the child of Vietnam immigrants) so I was intrigued to read a story about the Americans who went to war, especially the women. Part 1 of the book focuses on Frankie’s time “in-country” and the relationships …

Review: The Kraken King Part I by Meljean Brook

I am not usually a fan of serialized stories (I prefer the immediate gratification of being able to read the entire book) but I couldn’t resist when I heard that Meljean Brook was writing her next book in a serialized format. I just couldn’t wait until all of the parts were out to dive in and resigned myself to having to wait for each part to come out

Review: Sapphire Flames by Ilona Andrews

The Hidden Legacy series continues, albeit with a new narrator. I admit that I was a little wary of the shift from Nevada’s story over to that of her younger sister, Catalina, who has become a power of her own over the course of the series. However, as a huge fan of the Ilona Andrew team, I was excited to dive back into this world

My favorite time of year is upon us and I am really looking forward to fall weather and events. While I hate to lose the daylight hours, fall is my favorite season and I love the cooling crispness in the air. California hasn’t had the 

Review: Mortal Heart by Robin LaFevers

Review: Mortal Heart by Robin LaFevers

I picked this book up about a year ago, excited to finally finish this great series, when I found myself losing interest and putting it down. I didn’t think I’d wait this long to come back to it, but I’m glad that I did. I picked up where I left off and was immediately drawn back into this world of magic, gods, and assassins. Mortal Heart gets off to a much slower start than its predecessors. I think the reason I stalled on it the first time was that it takes a lot longer to get into the meat of the plot than the first two books. In hindsight, however, I think the pacing fits Annith’s story well. Her life isn’t one of danger… Read more »

Review: Wild Embrace by Nalini Singh

Review: Wild Embrace by Nalini Singh

Ever since Singh first mentioned the Alaris deep-sea station (I can’t remember when this was), I hoped that she would write a story that gave us a closer look at this unusual setting and its unique occupants. She finally does so in this sweet novella about Stefan, a Psy/TK, and Tazia, a human working on the station. Though Tazia is human, she is a lot like Stefan. Estranged from her family, Tazia lives a very lonely life aboard Alaris. As a Psy and former Arrow, Stefan has learned to keep a tight leash on his emotions. However, when the two end up working together to help rebuild a village, their attraction reaches a breaking point which neither can ignore. … Read more »
