The Pact: A Kate Burkholder Short Mystery | Linda Castillo

pick

Kate Burkholder #11.5, less than 2 hours in length.

Two young boys go missing-one Amish and one English-and Chief Kate Burkholder is racing to find them before the bad weather claims their lives. Nothing added to the series at large in terms of plot, but these shorts are always enjoyable reads or listens while I‘m out running errands.

Second House from the Corner: A Novel | Sadeqa Johnson

pick

February 2025 Book #3

A contemporary chick lit where Felicia, an unsecured, immature character constantly take bad decisions that jeopardized her marriage, her emotional and physical security…and you, as a reader, will feel frustrated and mad during all this drama. Male figures here are terrible, abusive. Sexual abuse was minimized by family. Maybe the ending was a small step for Felicia start to grow up. Maybe this was the part that I liked⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) This is not a great story and a lower rating (so-so) would be more adequate. But maybe I saw it from a mental health perspective where I saw Felicia as a woman who didn‘t healed her trauma in an appropriate way, she didn‘t have support and just continue life but that scar was open. If you didn‘t like Queenie, you are not going to like this one and I think in Queenie this trauma part was better developed and worked. 3⭐️ 3mo

Another stunner in this series. Morally complex, expertly plotted, riveting – a tale of elusive evil.

January 2025 Book #11
This retelling for me is poor integrating and even boring. I‘m not the target audience but didn‘t like it. However, the illustrations are beautiful made by the author. 2⭐️

The Mystery at Bob-White Cave | Kathryn Kenny

pick

#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Finished Book #11 for #BobWhiteBR on Sunday. Trixie & the Bob-Whites (sans Dan of course & Di this time) are off to Uncle Andrew Belden‘s lodge in the Ozarks. Trixie is obsessed with finding rare cave ghost fish to win $500 to buy a station wagon for “crippled children.” As a child, I remember being fascinated with the ghost fish & admiring Trixie‘s bravery in spelunking in the caves. (My claustrophobia could never!)😱

Kelley Armstrong is still my favourite author, so I'll keep this short. It's a great book, love the mystery, and I'm glad there are still another 2 books left to this series. #11-2025

This is an author from my own City where I live, first time knowing about this author. The story was great..not knowing who the killer was until the end was good. Will read more from this author.

Cathythoughts Sounds good 👍🏻 6mo
