I'm a total book junkie, DPI grad, and one of the reviewers at www.bookbitch.com. I rarely come across books that I don't like and, as a result, will read almost anything!

  • Betrayals: A Strange Angels Novel
    • Rated 4 stars

    “Dru, Christophe, and Graves return in the follow-up to Saintcrow's (St. Crow) teen debut, Strange Angels.

    Now that Dru's status as svetocha is known (a rare female half-vampire) she has been sent to one of the Scholas (training schools for djamphir and wulfen teens) for safekeeping. But Christophe is sure that there is a traitor in their midst and as the school comes under attack from outside nosferatu, Dru has to wonder who she can trust by her side. ”

  • "U" is for Undertow
    • Rated 4 stars

    “Kinsey has been hired for a one day case, tracking down a burial site only hazily remembered by a 27-year-old who believes he may have seen something 21 years ago. The dig turns up the body of a dog rather than the missing child suspected to have been there, but Kinsey can't let things rest and continues to dig in spite of continued questions about the credibility of her client.

    I wasn't sure about this one at first. The flashback scenes seemed disconnected (of course) until more of the story came to light. After that, though, satisfyingly great as usual for Grafton and Kinsey.”

  • Murder on the Cliffs: A Daphne du Maurier Mystery (Daphne du Maurier Mysteries)
    • Rated 4 stars

    “An interesting mystery starring Daphne du Maurier as sleuth. Good stuff! Readers who enjoy du Maurier's work, especially Rebecca, will appreciate seeing the author as the character in Joanna Challis's debut mystery.

    While on vacation Daphne du Maurier, aspiring writer, stumbles upon the body of a dead girl. Curiosity piqued, Daphne decides that she must be part of the investigation and proceeds to learn all she can about the various players in hopes of solving the case.”

  • Under the Dome
    • Rated 5 stars

    “Wow! Under the Dome moves incredibly quickly and takes readers on a total roller-coaster of reading!

    Dale Barbara was on his way out. He'd had enough of Chester's Mill and was finally going to move on when the dome came down. Just seconds later, a plane crashed into one side. Cars smash into the other and soon, everyone knows about the clear barrier that now separates Chester's Mill from the outside world. Who put it there and why are unknown. Surviving inside has become every man for himself -- almost. ”

  • Hangman Blind
    • Rated 3 stars

    “An historical mystery with multiple threads to follow. Makes for an interesting read, but also one that you literally can't look away from for one minute or you might get lost.

    Sets up nicely for book two, The Red Velvet Turnshoe.”

  • The Maze Runner
    • Rated 5 stars

    “I think I've already read somewhere that someone compared this book to Cube meets Running Man. Very much so! Great teen read with a killer ending and I can't wait to see what will happen next. ”

  • The Archangel Project
    • Rated 4 stars

    “Government conspiracies and remote viewing -- all based on documented cases, according to the authors.

    October "Tobie" Guinness didn't know that her involvement in a remote viewing project at Tulane would result in catastrophic results. Something Tobie saw in one of her sessions has made the project a target for elimination. Now if only she can figure out what it all means before it's too late.

    Definitely a page turner! ”

  • The Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart
    • Rated 4 stars

    “A crazy sort-of adventure story featuring two nasty brothers with a penchant for killing first and not asking questions later. They meet monsters, witches, bandits, and all other sorts on their journey, pillaging and grave robbing all along the way.

    Fun stuff, but definitely not for more innocent readers. ”

  • Without Warning
    • Rated 3 stars

    “The first in the Emma Streat series is a surprisingly different read than one would initially expect.

    Emma's husband had been rather jumpy lately, and after a trip to London that is preceded by one of his office's visitors being murdered in an airport, Emma and hubby return home only for him to be murdered. It appears initially to be a hit-and-run accident, but a note regarding one of his coworkers prompts Emma to dig into his death. What she finds is a web of intrigue involving spies, dangerous weapons developments, and state secrets. ”
