Denise Grover Swank – Thirty One and a Half Regrets
Oh my goodness! This book was ridiculously thrilling! We start the book 5 weeks after Joe left, and Rose is finally starting to feel better. She still misses Joe, but it’s not long all consuming, and she’s getting back to a semblance of normal life. Well, kind of. She’s hardly speaking to her sister Violet,…

Denise Grover Swank – Falling to Pieces
I was in two minds whether to review this or not, with it only being a novella, not a full novel. But since I’m reviewing the other four books in the series, I might as well go for the full set! The book really was quite short, and much of the first half was a…

Denise Grover Swank – Thirty and a Half Excuses
I just can’t put this series down, the author has written a series that is a complete page turner, thrilling and exciting and unpredictable. We return to Henryetta a few months after the end of the last book, and in the meantime, Rose has been setting up the flower shop/nursery with her sister Violet. They’re…

Denise Grover Swank – Twenty Nine and a Half Reasons
I absolutely adored the first book in this series, and now that I’ve finished all the Charlaine Harris books, I think good old Rose Gardner may be my next obsession. We left the last book with Rose starting a relationship with Joe, and finally getting to know him for real, rather than the undercover persona…

Charlaine Harris – A Secret Rage
Well this was rather different to what I expected. I’ve read a lot of Charlaine Harris books, I think Goodreads said 32 at last count(!), but this was different from the other murder-mystery novels of hers that I’d read. For a start, the main character Nickie is beautiful, a supermodel from New York in fact.…

Charlaine Harris – Sweet and Deadly
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, it probably won’t be much of a surprise to learn than I absolutely adore Charlaine Harris. I thought I’d read all her books until I was at Waterstones and spotted this double bill, which I think was her debut! The first book (Sweet and Deadly) was…

Jana DeLeon – Louisiana Longshot
Fortune Redding is for all intents and purposes an international super-spy, jetting off on missions all around the world. But when her cover is blown on a mission in the middle east, and it looks like the leak was from within her own office, she has to get way off the radar before she gets…

Denise Grover Swank – Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes
After the intense focus required by my last book, I needed something a little easier on the mind. Scrolling through my list of kindle books, I saw this, something which looked like a cross between the typical chick-lit and a murder mystery. Starting the book, we are introduced to Rose, a young woman living a…

Review: Charlaine Harris – Poppy Done to Death
Finally the last book in this 8 book series. I’ve got mixed feelings over it ending, because although I’ve really enjoyed the series and I quite like the main character, I can tell that it’s not Harris’ best writing, and I’d much rather read the Sookie Stackhouse books (again). This book starts off with Roe’s…

Review: Charlaine Harris – Last Scene Alive
This book starts off a few months after the end of the last one, with Aurora still grieving the massive loss at the end of the last book. She decides that she has had enough of living her life under a cloud of misery and that she needs to start getting back to normality. How…

Review: Charlaine Harris – Dead Over Heels
Well this is the first book I’ve ever read in digital instead of as an actual physical book, and it’s totally put me off buying a kindle. The actual book was going to cost £30, but the kindle version was only £9.99, so I bought it on kindle and read it on my phone/iPad. Yes,…
