Garnethill was (in my opinion) by far Mina's best book.

The End of the Wasp Season was also amazing!

I agree with you. Garnet Hill is one of my favorite books.

Joanne | 19 comments I just finished Death Warmed Over (Dan Shamble, Zombie PI, #1) by Kevin J. Anderson , a kind of funny mystery with a zombie P.I.! I was attracted to it because the cover was so different, and I quite enjoyed it! Fun change of pace! I already picked up the next one, Unnatural Acts (Dan Shamble, Zombie PI, #2) by Kevin J. Anderson .

Totally agree - start with the early books, skip the middle works, and then come back to the more recent ones...!

No Her Boyfriend's Bones s by Jeanne Mathews, a new author I found on Galley.net. Sorry for the confusion.


message 9565: by Aiesha (new)

Aiesha (bigtexasaj) Just finished Caught by Harlan Coben Caught and was pleased but not AS pleased as I expected to be. The writing is excellent, as always with Harlan Coben, but I found the story to be slightly confusing. It went in so many different directions and I wasn't sure how it would all be connected. It wasn't a clear connection but still a connection.

I've now started Blindsighted, the first book in the Grant County Series by Karin Slaughter. I've heard so much about this series and this author so I'm very excited to finally read her work! :)

I just got that too!


message 9570: by Kelly (new)

Kelly | 8 comments I just started reading Bolero by Joanie McDonell. A friend recommended it. Bolero is along the same lines as the Heller series by JD Nixon or maybe the Brandy Alexander series. Nick, the main character lives on a barge of all things and yes, he is your typical bad boy who was raised by nuns. It is $4.99 on Amazon for Kindle.

Nancy Hogue (nanhogue) | 71 comments Just finished Murder in Emerald Hills by Sabena Stone. Now reading Death by a Honeybee by Abigail Keam. Both are great reads with interesting characters and plot twists.

Correction... I got notice that Dark Places Dark Places by Gillian Flynn became available from my library and since I've been waiting months for it, I'm going to read that first! Can't wait! :)

Jannene | 775 comments Just finished Judas Kiss (Taylor Jackson, #3) by J.T. Ellison . It was great and I really like this series. I am still struggling with The American (Ryan Kealey, #1) by Andrew Britton . I am 39% in and still don't care if they get the bad guy and am having a hard time connecting to Ryan, the main character.
