This guest review comes from Amanda (a more different Amanda) who read this book and loved it. It's currently on sale for $1.99 – so if you're curious, it's also on sale. Woo!

Vanished by Kendra Elliot is what I needed to cleanse my palette after The Dining Club incident. It’s a solid romantic suspense book, although I thought the character development was a little shallow. Mason Callahan is a detective in Portland. He’s standing over the dead body of his former confidential informant (a prostitute and drug addict) wondering who killed her when his phone rings. It’s his ex-wife. Her eleven year old step-daughter, Henley, has disappeared … Continue reading Review: Vanished by Kendra Elliot→
Spirited was a trip out of my comfort zone that turned out to be pretty fun. Once I allowed myself to be swept up in the story, which is, frankly, incredibly silly, I had a great time. I’m so divided about this book – it was a mess, but I couldn’t stop reading it. Spirited is about a woman named Jules who has a crift (a combination curse and gift). She can see and talk … Continue reading Review: Spirited by Mary Behre→
Striking Distance by Pamela Clare rocks. I love being surprised and learning new things. Today I learned that if you ground up a mouse and ate it, it would contain about 57% protein (this from our vet, I am not Googling “mouse protein content”). I also learned that it is possible to have a romantic suspense book that is feels entirely authentic and real. I love romantic suspense, but it tends to require I do … Continue reading Review: Striking Distance by Pamela Clare→
Two really cool things happened to me on the way home from Philadelphia. 1. I got bumped to first class. 2. I found a copy of Shadow Woman by Linda Howard to read on the flight. Shadow Woman has everything I love in romantic suspense: a unique plot, a kick-ass heroine, a lot of mystery, and excellent pacing. I think there's a rule out there that a book should never start with the hero or heroine waking up … Continue reading Shadow Woman by Linda Howard→
