Review: Stone Cold Heart by Laura Griffin

March 28, 2019 by Mandi 1 Comment

I really enjoy suspense books - I often listen to audio books and my number one genre isn't necessarily romance, but suspense. Although a side romance never hurts! Laura Griffin writes excellent suspense/thrillers. I'm always completely engaged - not only with the crime details, but great dialogue, great descriptions of the crime scenes and some intense action. The romance in this series is very low-key and in this book fell pretty flat for me. Sara and Nolan could be cute and romancy Continue Reading

Review: Desperate Girls by Laura Griffin

August 16, 2018 by Mandi Leave a Comment

I love Laura Griffin's romantic suspense books. Maybe a little light on the romance, but she writes creepy suspense and crime so well. I never get bored with crime scene details or detective work. Her books are fast paced and full of intrigue. In Desperate Girls, we have a high-powered defense attorney, Brynn,  who is looking to get a young adult off of murder charges - a murder she truly believes he did not commit. She has to travel with her co-worker Ross to Dallas, to attend the trial. Continue Reading

Review: Touch of Red by Laura Griffin

October 31, 2017 by Mandi 1 Comment

Touch of Red by Laura Griffin (Tracers #12) Romantic Suspense Released: October 31, 2017 Pocket Books Reviewed by Mandi This is my favorite romantic suspense series - I'm a huge fan of suspense in general. Almost 100% of what I listen to is suspense (not necessarily romantic) and the darker the better. (Shout-out to Karin Slaughter). Touch of Red is not the creepiest or grittiest of Lauren Griffin's work, but it's still enjoyable, even with a slightly annoying heroine. Brooke Porter Continue Reading

Review: At Close Range by Laura Griffin and Giveaway

January 30, 2017 by Mandi 20 Comments

At Close Range by Laura Griffin (Tracers #11) Releases: January 31, 2017 Romantic Suspense Pocket Books Reviewed by Mandi I love, love, love this romantic suspense series from Laura Griffin. Each one is so well done with a suspense that really makes you guess and a cast of characters that are very well-developed. In this one we get to learn Scott Black's story. A former Navy SEAL, turned ballistics expert, he works for the famed Delphi Center, a leader in forensics experts. Scott is Continue Reading

Review: Deep Dark by Laura Griffin

May 25, 2016 by Mandi 1 Comment

Deep Dark by Laura Griffin (Tracers #10) Romantic Suspense Released: May 24, 2016 Pocket Books Reviewed by Mandi I'll say it again - I love this romantic suspense series by Laura Griffin. So well done. Deep Dark has a thirty-nine year old homicide detective hero and a twenty-four year old cybercrime hacker - and their chemistry is soooo good. When a girl who was just starting out in life is found horribly murdered in her home, police want to find the murderer fast. But there is no Continue Reading
