This is Nora Robert‘s at her best. Some of her latest have been so-so lately (in my humble opinion) but this was a compelling and enthralling read. Who doesn‘t like a little bit of romance with your ghosts. Love the other ghosts besides the brides (Molly and Jack) and freaking love Clover. Who wouldn‘t want their own DJ? All in all, looking forward to the next installment (hopefully my local library has it).

Picked this up at my local library the other day. Was looking for a nice easy read and decided “why not, this looks enjoyable”. I was not wrong. So far, loving the character development and the story pacing is spot on. Fairly fast read as I am 3/4 of the way done and only have been reading about 5 hours. Think I‘ll have to continue this series

I don‘t agree with his political views but he certainly makes reading history entertaining. What I thought was just going to be a discussion about the Salem Witch Trials turned into one of religious freedoms and the American Revolution. Who knew we had a problem with the separation of church and state from the beginning!

Think I will be keeping this series after tomorrow (which is National Clean Out Your Bookcase Day). Love this series and was so happy to have found it. Saddened to hear that the author is battling cancer at the moment. Sending her happy vibes and thoughts of warm comforting bowls of noodles

Watched Shadowlands last night with the hubby (if you haven‘t seen, I highly recommend the version with Sir Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger) before settling down to read this. This week was the 10th anniversary of my Oma‘s passing and I‘m finding it a little hard. Perhaps this will help.

I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but then again I have a sick sense of humour and find true crime fascinating. I also work in the prison system so I understand the authors dark sense of humour and her “female in a male dominated job” life. Her style of writing was informative but not condescending making it easy to read and understand.
