Catch Point Deception (Cape Perdido, #1) Presented By Marcia Muller Visible In Textbook
much fog, so much screaming,
A moody but familiar setting from Muller, wrapped around the tale of wait for it as Northern California commune gone horribly wrong, with aftereffects lingering into the present day.
Muller always gives great place and this coastal California county sketched from whole cloth is vivid and familiar.
I have driven through this county with this fog beading my windows, watching long grasses bent by the offshore breeze instead of the long single lane road that's carrying me away.
I was kind of meh on the heroine because a her dog was a convenience rather than a character or character attribute but much more b if you're a capable law enforcement person I find it hard to believe you let some New York City writer swan in and become your investigation partner.
I was very meh on the New York City writer, and much more enamored with his dead wife, which should tell you possibly more than you need to know about both me and him.
Great mystery, though,
Content notes: This is book one of a brand new urban fantasy series and I leaped at the opportunity to read and review.
I found myself struggling to get into this world and when I actually did, I found myself struggling to stay in this world.
Don't get me wrong, Ms, Harper wove a brilliantly alternate London filled with supernatural creatures like vampires and werewolves so that wasn't the issue.
The issue for me was Emma, the protagonist of the story,
I did not connect with her at all, Maybe it was a you, it's me scenario but I really did not bond with her, Her idealistic views on how great the police is probably helped with that,
Consequently, some things didn't quite fit either, and seemed pretty unrealistic to me yes yes I know, it's fiction but she's essentially a rookie police detective and yet still, she was able to lead an investigation.
Nope. That was a huge NOPE for me,
All in all, it was an ok read but it really didn't blow my mind, Would I pick up bookI might or I might not,
for the win though
A copy of this book was provided through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I am not really into Supernatural series but this cover screamed read me!! Yes I do judge a book by their covers at first glance.
Sorry. But hey I am honest back to the review!
Helen Harper creates feisty, likable characters have a need to fight for what is right no matter what and a desire to be normal.
Emma Bellamy was normal until something happened changing her forever!
I will be honest this would be astar review but the ends had me scratching my head because it didn't match with the actions though out the series even when Emma spells it out for readers it still doesn't make since.
I love the author decision that using a persons name as the power to control another person.
It was a interesting twist!
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the advance copy of Helen Harper Brimstone Bound A great middle grade book!
Well, great enough that it took me only a day to finish it out.
It is a kind of story everyone would love to indulge themselves into,
Glory is a really nice character, can be one of the "inspiration" kind of characters for the young readers.
The grownups don't seem to behave in properly adult manner! But, kind of a book which one would imagine as childhood dreams! This is myst review for Netgalley books:
I really liked Glory, I thought she was really sweet, despite the heartrending things she had been thru in her life.
I look forward to Reading further books by this author, This book was received from the Author, and Publisher, in exchange for an honest review, Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own,
This is a non spoiler review, because you as reader need to read this book.
Also, I feel sometimes I have in the past gave away to much of the plot line.
This has diminished the pleasure for would be readers,
Wow this was a fast moving high stakes book that had me hooked from start to finish,
I literally couldnt put it down.
An immersive read here that is high on intrigue, A dynamic historical fiction with characters that you can root for,America is adjusting to its entrance into WW, still reeling from the surprise military strike by the Japanese.
Prejudice against Asians runs deep within New Orléans, Everyone held their breath as the steady march of The Axis campaign to seize the world, The Crescent City braced its self for an attack just like Pearl Harbor,
When ChineseEnglish scientist Thomas Ling on a mission, ends up in the psychic, Beatrix Patterson office of Finder of Lost Things.
The people and the detailed atmospheric imagery of Nola is brought to life through the authors exceptional writing expertise.
Heart ponding suspenseful and engaging, I feel in love with both MCs, Beatrix and Thomas mesh wonderfully together as their friendship develops as the storyline unfolds,
This a must read, for those who seek suburb characterization and gripping WWfiction, Make sure you grab yourself a copy Today! The book was a real page turner, not full of action, but the mystery was well crafted and kept my attention.
The characters weren't as well rounded as Sharon and the Gang, but were decent enough for a standalone book.
The conclusion was rather anticlimatic and fell flat, especially if you're used to reading Sharon McCone shootouts and I felt the suicide near the end of the book served no purpose except to up the gore factor.
Abusive men don't sudden get "conscience" and shoot themselves, With thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my ARC,
I really enjoyed this book, it was a strong beginning for the series, with both likeable and horrid characters, the fun is working out, who is who.
Emma Bellamy is one assignment away from making Detective when shes assigned to Supernatural Squad, and its her worst fear becoming true, because nobody wants to be assigned to Supernatural Squad.
While attempting to solve the mystery of a missing werewolf, Emma meets a mysterious vampire, manages to get herself killed and wakes up in the morgue.
An excellent read, Im looking forward to the next title in the series, .
