41. Alone - Loren D. Estleman

I received this as an ARC and am glad to have been introduced to this author! I have the first in the series on hold at our local library. Reading the second in the series first in this case didn't leave me wondering what happened in the first one, but it did get my interest up enough to want to read the first one. The research done for this book was amazing, and I didn't have the mystery solved before it was all wrapped up in the end. I love it when I don't figure it out before the author clues me in. All of the information was there, you just have to put it together! (Finished reading this one on Christmas night)

Special Thank You!

A very, very special THANK YOU to Minotaur Books for sending me a hardcover copy of Evil at Heart by Chelsea Cain! I had received and reviewed a preview copy and I am very happy to have a full hardcover edition to add to my personal library. I am grateful to the publisher for sending me the preview copy, as I had not read any of her other books. I have now read the three installments of the trilogy, and am really hoping this will blossom into a series!

40. He Shall Thunder in the Sky - Elizabeth Peters

This was number 12 in the series, and I am still very much interested. The characters are wonderful and the story always comes together. I always enjoy a happy ending!
