Heartbreak for Hire by Sonia HartlContemporary RomanceJuly 27, 2021, by Gallery Books Review by Melanie I tried hard to like this book. I thought the premise was interesting and clever and unusual to say the least. But ultimately, it broke down in the execution and by the end of the book, I was truly appalled by the actions of the MMC and could no longer support or even care about whether these people ended up together. In the course of reading a romance, if the reader stops being Continue Reading

The Psy/Changeling Channel: Blaze of Memory
Melanie: Well, this book was a ride…the kind of ride I actually wanted to get off of long before it ended. It’s a little strange to me that in the same month that we delved into some of the Psy/Changeling novellas, we also read a book that arguably could and maybe should have been a novella. When Melinda and I were messaging back and forth during the course of reading this book, she made a comment that really resonated. “Is boring worse than asshole,” she pondered. I’m hoping that over the Continue Reading
Mini Reviews: Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby and False Witness by Karin Slaughter
Razorblade Tears by S.A CosbyFictionJuly 6, 2021, by Flatiron LibraryReview by Melinda S.A. Cosby wrote a fantastic book last year - Blacktop Wasteland - that I didn’t think he could do again because it was that good, but I think I like Razorblade Tears even more, if possible. The book opens with a Black father, Ike, and a white father, Buddy Lee, burying their two sons who were married and had a daughter together. Neither father had 100% accepted their son’s homosexuality when they were Continue Reading
