A wonderful sequel to the original. The first chapter was a little odd since it started in the middle of the next lady’s story, but overall, a fully enjoyable read. Admittedly, I had the plot generally pegged from the ending of book one, but that did not stop the joyride of reading book 2.

I love this series. There is just something about getting naughty at work, that keeps you intrigued.

A cold but hot vacation.

I hope there are a few more books in this series. I really enjoy them. They are the perfect length, and the multiple partners enhances and complicates the story at the same time.

I took way to long too wait to read this book. I read book number one years ago, but as habit, rarely read the sequels. After seeing the movie City of Bones, it put me in mind to read the next book, and I am irritated that I waited so long. This is a beloved series and I see why. Jace and Clary have a complicated non-history, a crazy in a bad way family, and let’s not forget vampires, werewolves, and shadow hunters. With a cast of characters and excellent writing that keeps the pages turning, I will NOT be waiting so long to pick up book 3.

Nora Robert’s books have a formula and you pretty much know what is going to happen. A rich but damaged guy will fall in love with a quirky and interesting woman. And maybe there will be some murder and intrigue along the way. That does not stop these books from being an entertaining break to your day.

Eli Landon did not murder his wife, or at least the prosecuting attorney never had enough evidence to take the case to court. But after a year and a half battle with the local police, the media, and strangers, it is time to escape from the spot light and pull his life back together. The family mansion on a windswept beach called Bluff House is the perfect place to rest and recuperate. His grandmother needs someone to watch over the house while she recovers from a terrible fall, but how can she expect him to get any writing done when she has tasked the neighbor with making sure he eats, the house gets clean, and that he does not become a hermit. Abra Walsh is just as quirky as her name. She has multiple small businesses which include Yoga instructor, house cleaner, cook, and errand lady. And she is going to make sure Eli re-involves himself in the world around him. There is a intrigue, after all if, Eli didn’t kill his wife, then who did? Plus, with the old historic mansion, a missing pirate treasure, and a town full people who are in everyone’s business, how can you not come out of your shell and begin life over again.

The first book was wonderful, especially the first chapter that describes cryo-freezing, and sometimes that makes me hesitant to read book two, because it will kill me if it’s bad. But I am happy to report that this book is just fine.

A little over three months have passed since Amy was thawed. Eldest has passed and now Elder is in charge. His first goal is to reestablish the ship’s mission and find their new earth. But everything is not hunky dory. Elder stopped the usage of the control substance that kept everyone placid and calm. Because people can now think and act for themselves, things on the ship have become harder to control. People want to revolt because food is getting low, philosophies such as you only eat if you work, are starting to come into play, and the masses are getting restless. One of the big complaints I had about book number one have been handled in this book. Sometimes the physics just did not work right. Such as: an object in motion tends to stay in motion. And these basic scientific principles are also things that Elder now has to contemplate in his goal to get his people safely on their way to the new planet. But as before there are complications, and people who still do not want God speed (the ship) to land.

I am intrigued by the population that Ms. Reeves has created. It is like me know humanity to behave, but at the same time, with new, and unforeseen challenges to everyday life. This book makes the reader not just keep turning the page, but think about a future that may not be too far away.

Just another Coulter FBI thriller, but still a page turner. You just love the characters of Sherlock and Savich, plus she will go back to previous towns and other cases so you can see how previous characters have aged and progressed in life. Bombshell picks up right where Back Fire left off. Agent Griffin Hammersmith is joining Savich’s special team, but takes his time getting to Washington. He stops off to see his sister who is studying music in Maestro, Virginia (the scene of a previous novel). Griffin’s sisters is known as Trouble Magnet because it followers her everywhere she goes. Now she has had her head bashed in after finding a dead body in her bath tub. The snafu is that the body has disappeared, but someone is still out for blood. This title has a double story because while Agent Griffin is in Virginia, Sherlock and Savich are in DC trying to solve the murder of a prominent political figures teenage grandson.

The story is great, but I do have complaints. The double stories get old. While the series is derived around Sherlock and Savich, it is okay if they do not play the most prominent part. I see no reason to add a second story line to increase our awareness of these beloved characters. Number two, is where did the title come from. It would make a great topic for a discussion group, but it just does not seem to stand out as part of the book. If the bombshell the beautiful woman, the story time (because if that is what bombshell represents than someone needs a different dictionary), or some great reveal that never happened.

Overall, a sound book in a much loved and read series.

I am not normally a fan of Evanovich. I have read a few of her books and they were okay, but nothing spectacular. But I have to say, I am taken with this new series. An FBI agent and a Crook must work together to bring down the legal crooks. Interesting. (Yes I realize there is a TV show with a similar premise but I do not watch it.) This was just a fun romp and I am looking forward to the next title in the series (plus I did not know there was a prequel short story that I am in a long line for at the eBook library).

So why do I like it. THe cons of course. But there are some story plots that were left hanging that could have been filled in more when looking at our bad guy. I do not want to give anything a way so I will leave it at that.
