Wages of Sin, Grave Sins, Bound by Sin, all by Jenna Maclaine (purchased off my Amazon wishlist with xmas money): First three books in the Cin Craven series. Good books. Interesting heroine. Believable. Thumbs up for all three.
Silent Truth by Sherrilyn Kenyon & Dianna Love (purchased from Amazon with xmas money): A Bad Agency novel. Honestly, even after reading the back of the book, I can't remember what the book was about. I enjoyed it, so I'll give it a thumbs up.
Thief of Hearts by Christopher Golden (gift from C.G. when I was on his Street Team): This is a young adult novel, and YA is not usually my cup of tea, but when I was done with this one, I wanted to go straight to the library to see if there were more in this setting. That's two thumbs up in my book (no pun intended). College girl works as a morgue assistant and goes to school full-time. College so far has been by turns fantastic and traumatic. There were a couple of moments where I was sure I knew what was going to happen, and one I was right, the other I was so wrong. I've yet to read a C.G. book I didn't enjoy, regardless of the genre.
Montana Mavericks by Susan Mallery, Bronwyn Williams and Carolyn Davidson (from a box of books I've had a long time, so purchased somewhere and somewhen): Three historical shorts about three male Kincaid relatives in Whitehorn, Montana. I read the whole book, but it didn't really hit me anywhere. The heroines were not quite independent enough for me - Even for a historical setting, these ladies were too aware of their "places" as women. I'm not a big fan of historical to begin with, though I've read some really fantastic historical romances, but this one didn't really leave me wanting to know more about modern-day Whitehorn. No thumbs at all, up or down.
Death in Holy Orders by P.D. James: murder mystery set in a theological college on the harsh eastern coast of England. Interesting characters, interesting twists, and some romantic undertones between a couple of the characters. There were a smattering of English terms I couldn't figure out, even from context, but I just kept reading. I don't think those few terms kept me from enjoying the book. This was in a box of books I've had a long time, so again, purchased somewhere and somewhen. Thumb and a half up.
