September 22, 2016 by Erin Leave a Comment

Wish It Were Me: Little Black Dresses Little White Lies

Editor’s Pick: Wink Poppy Midnight by April Genevieve Tucholke

August 26, 2016 by Erin Leave a Comment

Editor’s Pick: Wink Poppy Midnight by April Genevieve Tucholke

On principle, I would normally not like a book whose main characters have such twee names: Wink, Poppy, Midnight. But this book forced me to like it. I couldn’t help it anymore than Midnight could help his love for the Cathy Ames-like Poppy. The forceful, distinct writing, with three narrators whose voices were bell clear,…

Editor’s Pick: A Week of Mondays

August 11, 2016 by Erin Leave a Comment

Editor’s Pick: A Week of Mondays

I have a name for fun, frothy, good-time books that make me happy: “candy.” I know, maybe not the most unique moniker, but we all need a little sugar in our lives and even better if it doesn’t cost us any calories. And A Week of Mondays is just that sweet, delicious, wonderful candy. Ellie,…

Editor’s Pick: Devil and the Bluebird by Jennifer Mason-Black

July 21, 2016 by Erin Leave a Comment

Editor’s Pick: Devil and the Bluebird by Jennifer Mason-Black

Blue Riley’s sister Cass made a deal with the devil and now Blue has too—if she wins she gets to keep her soul and Cass does too. But the trick is she has to find Cass, who ran away two years ago, with nothing more than magic boots, which are less than forthcoming. Blue has…

Editor’s Pick: Chasing Stars by Helen Douglas

July 18, 2016 by Erin Leave a Comment

Editor’s Pick: Chasing Stars by Helen Douglas

I’ll start with a confession: I haven’t read After Eden, the book that precedes Chasing Stars. As far as world building and plot goes, that doesn’t really matter. Despite the sometimes clunky dialogue, Douglas did a bang up job getting us newbies into the loop. Even though the story can get bogged down in the…

In WITH MALICE, Jill Charron wakes up battered, broken and wanted for the murder of her best friend. The trouble is, she has a serious case of retrograde amnesia.
