Review Roundup Autumn 2024 – Part 2

Another quick little roundup of several smaller reviews I wrote in Autumn 2024. Beware of spoilers! Title: If I Stopped Haunting You Author: Colby Wilkens Series: n/a Thank you to Colby Wilkens, Dreamscape Media, and NetGalley for allowing me to listen to a free eaudio ARC in exchange for an honest review. This was okay. Not well balanced, and the characters had to work to be likeable, especially Pen. I don’t care what race, gender, ancestry, etc, you are, if …

A Grim Reaper’s Guide to Catching a Killer by Maxie Dara

Title: A Grim Reaper’s Guide to Catching a Killer Author: Maxie Dara Series: S.C.Y.T.H.E. Mystery #1 Much thanks to Maxie Dara, Berkley, and NetGalley for allowing me to read a free ARC in exchange for an honest review. The title’s misleading; to call it a guide implies the MC has killer-catching experience, but it’s quite the opposite. She has no idea what she’s doing. It’s a bit of a slow burn because Kathy’s a very reluctant heroine, but once Conner …

Title: Lady Charlotte Always Gets Her Man Author: Violet Marsh Series: n/a Thank you to Violet Marsh, Hachette Audio, and NetGalley for allowing me to listen to a free eaudio ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Title: Don’t Let Her Go Author: Willow Rose Series: Detective Billie Ann Wilde #1 Much thanks to Willow Rose, Bookouture Audio, and NetGalley for allowing me to listen to a free eaudio ARC in exchange for an honest review. This book was fine. A good mystery to pass the time, if not a terribly unique one. I feel kinda slimy saying child abduction and …

The Twisted Dead by Darcy Coates

Title: The Twisted Dead Author: Darcy Coates Series: Gravekeeper #3 Much thanks to Darcy Coates, Sourcebooks/Poisoned Pen Press, and NetGalley for allowing me to read a free ARC in exchange for an honest review. I ADORE this series. So far I like each book better than the last. I listened to the first two before reading Twisted just to refresh my memory. While Coates does an excellent job recapping and briefly explaining anything you need to know from previous books, …
