Sun Trap | Rachel Wolf
post image

An entertaining thrill ride from the start, this was an enjoyable read. Sun Trap follows a Hollywood movie crew to the Abu Dhabi desert, where the filmmaking gets deadly. This is one of the books with constant action. I was invested in the story although I did not feel connected to the characters at all. Especially after the half way mark there was twist after twist after twist. Also, is this not one of the most gorgeous covers you've ever seen?

Yuki_Onna Thank you, Netgalley and Aria & Aries, for the chance to read a copy in exchange for an honest review!

This Golden Age crime novel from 1923 is a weak pick. The plot is not terribly plausible and there is a lot of melodrama but I still enjoyed the story.

As usual, lots of implausible things happen to Nancy and friends, but this time involving the Kennedy Space Center, which is an interesting aspect. The plot's a mess, but the book was still fun to read.

Quite a lot learned in this volume! I‘m looking forward to seeing where else this story goes. #Manga #LGBTQIA

Picked this to read a robot book for #gottacatchemall

I actually ended up really enjoying it. I‘m going to pick up the next one too! A tea monk goes into the wilderness, because they feel they‘re missing something and meets a robot.

Faranae Just a reminder that Dex's pronouns are they/them and their title is Sibling (some people in their monastic order use binary pronouns and titles, but they don't). 😅 1w

I‘m always delighted to find books that combine the winter holidays I celebrate! Watching Sheldon and Theo navigate each other‘s very different quirks was adorable and hilarious. It helps that I also happen to enjoy the fake dating trope. #LGBTQIA #Holidays

Rumoured | Kelly and Kristina Mancaruso
post image
Pickpick

Pop icon & Grammy winner Harlow Hayes is arrested for murder. Tabloid journalist Naomi Barnes, who still grieves the death of her sister, is to cover the story. Is Harlow Hayes a cold-blooded killer?
You could tell the fun Kelly and Kristina Mancaruso had writing Rumoured and the deep sisterly bond they share is palpable throughout the book in the MC and her relationship with her sister.
...

Yuki_Onna Continued:

I've got to admit that the direction the story took toward the end lost me a bit, and I don't necessarily think this is a thriller. #Rumoured feels more like a contemporary mixed-media kind of story with a bit of a mystery element (and many Easter Eggs!) mixed in. Oh, and the cover is stunning. A fast-paced, fun & addictive read.

Thanks to #Netgalley and Aria & Aries, for the chance to read a copy in exchange for an honest review!

A weak pick. I liked the mystery and loved the Provence setting, but had some trouble getting used to the snobbish main character. Still, I enjoyed this novel enough that I plan to continue the series.

CarolynM I enjoy this series, mostly for the setting. I don‘t think Verlaque is snobbish, just very French😆 3w
kwmg40 @CarolynM You may be right. My experience has mostly been with French Canadians, who care more about hockey than fine wines! Actually, i just finished vacationing in France (which was what motivated me to pick up this book) and everyone I met was super friendly. They did have lots of opinions about wines, though! 😂 2w

I thoroughly enjoyed this one — steam trains, dwarves, terrorism, all handled deftly by Moist von Lipwig. Great characters, including the train Iron Girder.
