This is the second time around for this book. The first time I don't think I was ready for the deeper parts of the story. Reading again more than 20 years later gave me new insights I didn't seem to understand about the nuances of the book.

Carrie owns a diner in Philadelphia. She is immortal and can hear people thoughts. She was made immortal by Lucifer. She is friends with another demon and an angel. Into the diner walks Sebastian who has been slated to give up his life in a weeks time. He did it to save his sister. Carrie decides she needs to help him and save his soul.

I enjoyed the book. It has a very different look at demons and angels that I didn't expect. If you are religious you might not like this book. But I have an open mind and enjoy a good story which is what you get here.

I received this book free from the publisher for an honest opinion.

This was a strange book. I haven't seen the movie but I don't think it matches up too much.

Peter Lake and Beverly Penn have a love story that is very brief. He decides to rob her house thinking it is empty and she is alone in the house but is sick with consumption or what at least seems like consumption. They fall in love and Beverly dies soon after. The book then shifts to another time and place. Lake of the Coteries is place that cannot be accessed easily. Virginia is a young mother who decides to leave there and go into the city. She arrives in NYC and has a lot of luck in getting a job at a newspaper The Sun. There is also the story of a white stallion who keeps appearing throughout the time. He seems to be immortal and helps Peter when he needs it both in the past and in the future when he suddenly appears alive with very little memory of his past life. I would love to give this 5 stars as it is very well written, but a bit too disjointed. I enjoyed the stories of each couple and finding how they connected.

Harry Dresden was dead but brought back to life by Mab the Winter Queen. He has to fight back the nature of being the Winter Knight and its base instincts. He finds he has to save his magical island and all of Chicago. He reconnects with his old allies and enemies in the process. I still love this series 14 books in and it still interests me. Poor Harry is always getting beat up and beat down. Of course I will only listen to it on audio book as I love it being read by James Marsters. He just seems to do the character justice.

Mia Strong still has her virginity at age 22 and is in dire need of money for Med School and her mothers cancer treatments. She decides to have an auction for giving it up. Adam Drake wins the auction. Things keep getting in the way for them to consummate the deed. Adam is the creator of her favorite MMORPG game so they have that in common at least. She finds she is falling for him and vows to just get it over with.

I don't really usually read straight up romance but this one is very well written and has interesting characters, although I want to smack Mia's friend Heath. I might just read the next in the series.

Jack's brother Peter is killed but it is ruled a suicide by the police. Jack knows Peter would never kill himself. He finds the utmost corruption running throughout his community he grew up in. The lies and cover ups of wealthy and connected people amaze him. He embarks on a mission to find out what really happened and why. I could not put this book down. I have to look for more of these authors.

There are a few things you can always count on in a Heinlein book. Women have equal if not more strengths as men. A lot of free thinking about sex and politics. This book does not disappoint there. Johnny Rico joins the military with his friend and because of a girl. He moves up the ranks quickly. Then a war breaks out and he has to really grow up. I kept getting the story confused with [b:Old Man's War 51964 Old Man's War (Old Man's War, #1) John Scalzi https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1487044882s/51964.jpg 50700]. It's obvious there that Scalzi read this book and used the aliens as type. Bug-type that is. LOL. I like some of Heinlein's other books better but this was enjoyable.

I really didn't like this book much. Perhaps it was because I listened to it on audio and I did not like the narrator. I could not tell who was who.

Stephen has a public fight with her ex-husband and then he disappears. Stephanie and Ranger try to find out what happened to him and clear Stephanie. We slowly find out more about Ranger with each book. I so want him and Stephanie to end up together. He just seems to care a lot more about her than Morrelli. I love these books. I listen to them on audiobook and just love the narrator.

This is story set in a space station called Empyrean. We have a station on the moon and china has one called the Jade Star. Captain Sam Lord is an ex fighter pilot and FBI agent. He is always taking risks which is why he is so good at what he does. There is a cataclysmic typhoon that hits Japan. Then it seems it was caused by something other than nature. There is a force that attacks the Jade Star and seems to be related to the other event. Captain Lord and his crew are racing time trying to figure it all out before all of mankind is wiped out.

The characters and world are fairly well fleshed out and I am looking forward to more of Sam Lord's adventures. It was an enjoyable read.

I received this book free from the publisher for an honest review.

This was an excellent book. I listened to it on audio and cannot recommend that enough because the names to get proper pronunciation. The author reads it and does such a good job at doing all the different characters. The story pulled me very quickly and took a turn about a quarter of the way in that I did not expect. it becomes a ghost story with the main character going through the different levels of ghost planes. Then having to get back to her body just to find out that it is being used by someone else. I need to find out if this is the author's first book because it doesn't not seem like it. It is so well fleshed out that I can see the world Li Lan is a part of.

Madison is starting a new dream job as a professor in quantum physics in Boulder Colorado when she is involved in car accident. But then she's not. Somehow she changed what happened and she realizes she's done that before. Now she's testing out her theory and doing experiments but others are also watching and using her knowledge for nefarious reasons. How is she going to stop them? At the same time she is falling for her coworker. Her world is collapsing and changing.

Interesting book and premise. Not the best book I've read but it was enjoyable. It is very different from other sci-fi books out there. I will continue the series.

I received this book free from the publisher for an honest review.

Kinsey has started a job from Bobby Callahan who has lost some of his memory after a car accident that he thinks someone caused to kill him. After he hires Kinsey he is killed in a car accident. She decides that it is fishy and continues the case and finding the killer. I am not totally sold on this series of books but with this one it has gotten better. Kinsey is growing on me.

It is set in Shakespeare, Arkansas. The main character Lily Bard is a housecleaner and errand person etc. She will clean just about anything you ask her to clean including one client's dog. She has a mysterious background of which you do find out about in the book. She sees someone using her garbage cart to carry something out and goes to investigate and finds the body of the Landlord who also lives in her building. She gets unwanted attention from the police. She does eventually help solve the murder.

We learn a lot more about Ranger in this book. I am loving him more and more.

This is the best of the books so far.

This series keeps getting funnier. The triangle between Stephanie, Ranger and Morelli keeps heating up. Stephanie tries to quite bounty hunting but a killer from the past keeps pulling her back in. Of course she cannot keep hold of a car. Stephanie has the worst luck .

This was an enjoyable read. It is a bit madcap with all the different universes and different things occurring in each one, but I enjoyed.

This was an amazing book. I cannot wait to read the sequel.

Mia is the daughter of a hanged traitor. Her mother and brother are in jail. They try to kill her but something strange happens and she gets away. She has gifts that no one can image. She travels to join the Church of Blades and become the killer she has to avenge her family. Along the way she has to make many hard decisions.

I wasn't sure I was going to like this book but even though Mia is a killer you will still root for her.

This was an excellent book. I could not put it down. Addison shunned by the world who are horrified of him encounters a strange girl who does not like being touched and stays away from the world but together they form a couple against the world.

Really enjoyed the continuation of this series. And now looking forward to the next one in this series.

I did not particularly enjoy this book. It was too fractured for my taste. It was all over the place and hard to keep straight. I usually enjoy cyberpunk but not this one.

I love that there was so much Ranger in this book. Lulu was just hilarious I found myself laughing out loud.

Valarius and Tabitha story. It was nice to get more insight into the Valarius's world and how he became a Dark Hunter and his life afterwards. Tabitha is Amanda's (from the 1st book) twin and Kyrian's sister in law. Kyrian hates Valarius with all his soul. Really great story.

Dina is an “Innkeeper” who has magical powers from her inn. The inn is a sanctuary for aliens travelers like vampires, werewolves, fae, demons, etc. There are mysterious killings around the town of livestock and animals. Dina is trying to get to the bottom of that. In walks Sean Evans who is a new werewolf in the neighborhood. They of course butt heads and have to find a way to work together.
