Cold Eternity by S.A. 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.

Murder in Drury Lane by Vanessa RileyLady Worthing Mysteries #2October 24, 2023- KensingtonARC Review by Angela I enjoyed the first book in this series, but like all first books in a series there was a lot of set-up and getting to know you. Murder in Drury Lane was a much easier read, especially now that I know the characters and their relationship dynamics. Lady Abigail Worthing is a married woman with an estranged, absent husband, an interest in solving murders, and a champion Continue Reading
