BarnesScience Fiction/HorrorApril 8, 2025 by Tor Nightfire Last year I received this author's second book for review and waited FOREVER to read it, then finally picked it up at the end of the year when I was in a bit of a book slump. I was so mad at myself for waiting so long. I immediately went to my Libby app to see what else was available by S.A. Barnes. So, when this book came up for review, I quickly hit that request button. All three of the books I've read Continue Reading

What Cannot Be Said by C.S. HarrisSebastian St. Cyr #19Historical MysteryApril 16, 2024- BerkleyARC Review by Angela Whenever I'm asked for recommendations in the historical mystery genre this series is always the one that I end up recommending.

April 9, 2021 by Angela Leave a Comment

What the Devil Knows by C.S. HarrisSebastian St. Cyr Mystery #16Historical MysteryApril 6, 2021, by BerkleyARC I glommed this series last year and don't regret a minute of my time spent reading. As with any series, I recommend reading in order because there are ongoing family and relationship dynamics, but I do think you can read this as a stand-alone and not be super lost. What the Devil Knows begins with the murder of a local magistrate which is eerily similar to the gruesome murders Continue Reading
