During a recent trip to Eastern Washington, I listened to the audiobook version of Saboteur by Dean Hughes. Dean Hughes writes a lot of books for the LDS community, most of them with war themes. He’s best known for his Children of the Promise series. Much like that series, this book takes place during World…… Continue reading Saboteur: LDS World War II Spy Novel (4 Stars)

A Tear in Time: Science Fiction Overload (2.5 Stars)
I recently completed reading the ebook version of A Tear in Time by Miranda Levi. Back in July, I won this book as part of a Goodreads Giveaway.

Crushing on You: Nerd Vs. Jock Romantic Fiction (4 Stars)
I recently finished reading Crushing on You by Sara Beaker. It is a sometimes cheesy book about Ingrid, a PhD student in sociology. Her dissertation is based on stereotypes being true with a focus on the “dumb jock” stereotype. Her plan might backfire a bit when she decides to involve her high school crush, Connell,…… Continue reading Crushing on You: Nerd Vs. Jock Romantic Fiction (4 Stars)

Yesterday, I finished reading The Trespassers by Stephanie Black. She is one of my favorite writers. As I mentioned in a previous post, I was very excited to read this book.

Even…… Continue reading The Trespassers: Clean Paranormal Suspense (5 Stars)
Escaping Illusions: Christian Murder and Suspense Story (5 Stars)
Escaping Illusions by Therese Heckenkamp, is a bit of an unusual mix of genres. You’ve got a murder mystery. Add in some Christian elements. Mix together with hints of romance. While it’s part of a series, it can easily be read as a standalone novel. I read an ARC of the book through BookSirens, and…… Continue reading Escaping Illusions: Christian Murder and Suspense Story (5 Stars)
Love on the Brain: Clean Medical Romance (4.5 Stars)
Lately, I’ve been reading several books that are in series. I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with books in series. I love them because you can really get to know the characters throughout the series. Yet, I hate them a bit because sometimes it’s forever before the next book comes out. Along with…… Continue reading Love on the Brain: Clean Medical Romance (4.5 Stars)
