The Dark Dawn, Jerry Knaak
This series is truly one of my favorites. I was so very excited to see Knaak had published another book. “There were things in this world beyond man’s ability to comprehend. Things that existed in dusty shadowy corners of myth and folklore.” In The Dark Dawn, Knaak is taking us back to the beginning with… Continue reading The Dark Dawn, Jerry Knaak
The Bodyguard, Katherine Center
I was reading another book at the same time I started reading this. When I read digitally, I tend to read 5-6 chapters of one, 5-6 of another, and back and forth, I go between the two books. About 35% into this one, the other book got promptly abandoned. I don’t read enough romance these… Continue reading The Bodyguard, Katherine Center

The Daughter of Doctor Moreau, Silvia Moreno-Garcia
This year I’ve found myself reading a lot of classic retellings and The Daughter of Doctor Moreau is no exception. With a small cast of characters that widens the more you discover Moreau’s experiments, this one has the reader sympathetic with many of the characters. However, it took me a while to get into the… Continue reading The Daughter of Doctor Moreau, Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Sea of Tranquility, Emily St. John Mandel
I don’t really know how to review this book, and I’m afraid I don’t have much more to add to the conversation. I loved Olive’s quick wit; her answers in the interviews were amusing, although sometimes tedious. I liked Gaspery’s persistence, that he kept going, and that he knew an opportunity when he saw one… Continue reading Sea of Tranquility, Emily St. John Mandel

Things We Do in the Dark, Jennifer Hillier
It would be very easy to spoil things in a review, so I advise people to tread carefully when reading reviews because before writing my own, I read quite a few that, sadly, spell things out. This story slowly comes together through alternating timelines. First, we learn of Ruby’s daughter Joey, who suffered for years… Continue reading Things We Do in the Dark, Jennifer Hillier
Constance, Matthew FitzSimmons
Honestly, I read this because it was part of the kindle reading challenge for a best of 2021 book. From my search, only 3 books on that list were in KU, so I went with this one. It’s not a bad book. And I didn’t realize that there was a book 2 in the works… Continue reading Constance, Matthew FitzSimmons
Upgrade, Blake Crouch
Before we get into my review, I have a personal note to add. Yesterday my best friend's daughter called to tell me that he passed away. And I keep picking up the phone to ask him if he heard the news. I've known him my whole life, we were married when we were 5 years… Continue reading Upgrade, Blake Crouch
