Serial Killer Games
Serial Killer Games
by Kate Posey
Delightful Surprise (1/8/2025)
Kate Posey's first novel is a wonderfully original mystery/romance/comedy that kept me engaged and delightfully surprised until the end. In a genre that can be trite, and in which authors can get bogged down in old tropes, Posey's take is fresh and compelling. Highly recommend.
One Death at a Time
One Death at a Time
by Abbi Waxman
Mason and Julia are my new Justice League! (1/8/2025)
One Death at a Time is a bit of a departure for Waxman and it is well done. There is signature Waxman pacing and strong female characters written with smart, funny dialog, but this time in the service of a buddy comedy/mystery. I enjoyed Mason, Julia and the whole cast, and …more
The Bog Wife
The Bog Wife
by Kay Chronister

The Day Tripper: A Novel

For fans of Oona Out of Order and Cassandra in Reverse, The Day Tripper is a worthy addition to the "person out of time" oeuvre. I will say that I struggled a bit at the beginning to care about Alex Dean and his newly bloomed romance or, frankly, to like him at all. Credit …more
Wild and Distant Seas
Wild and Distant Seas: A Novel
by Tara Karr Roberts
Moby Dick reimagined as a tale of female generational trauma (11/24/2023)
Call me a sucker for a reimagining or retelling of a classic tale, but I enjoyed this homage to Moby Dick. Told in five parts by the matrilineal descendants of the famous narrator, Ishmael, the story almost feels like four individual novellas that are satisfyingly woven …more
The Witches at the End of the World
The Witches at the End of the World
by Chelsea Iversen
Compelling magical realism with humanity at its heart (8/28/2023)
Chelsea Iversen has created a captivating world in which sisters deal with a traumatic childhood and the ways it continues to impact their adulthoods. Her world was so compelling that at times I forgot I was reading, as the images and moods she was able to create put my …more
