![]() ![]() ![]() The “Now” is in the third person, meaning the narrator is outside of Mary Grace but she is the only character to who we are privy to her thoughts. The “Then” is told from Mary Grace’s pov as an 11-year-old as if she were writing the book. The story is told through a “Now”, “Then” structure that includes different points of view. The events in 1995 seem to be repeating themselves in 2019 when another girl goes missing, and past and present collide for Mary Grace and the town. In 1995 two school girls went missing and both were connected to Mary Grace. ![]() Mary Grace is also very religious, sees portents and omens in the weather, and is obsessed with events that occurred when she was 11. She got the job after the previous sheriff died and as deputy, she was next in line. Mary Grace Dobbs is the newly sworn-in sheriff of her hometown of Redemption, Arkansas in 2019. This is a bad, Z-grade attempt to emulate Gillian Flynn, Tana French, and Paula Hawkins without understanding what makes those three so good. The story alternates between frustrating and non-sensical and the finale twists are eye-rolling. There is not one likable character, nor one that exhibits more than one dimension of personality. I’m not going to bury the lede, I deeply dislike this book. ![]()

![]() ![]() There's decidedly elements of Mary-Janice Davidson's Undead series here, but the overall tone, quick wit, and excellent supporting cast is more reminiscent of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books. Things only get hotter from there on in, and towards the end of the book I was starting to get concerned that it would burst into flames given the chemistry between two characters! ![]() This is snarky, smart, filled with great characters, and seriously raunchy - while the paranormal genre is huge for both adults and teens these days, this is decidedly aimed at the more mature reader, featuring a fabulous heroine who starts the book wondering if she's going to die from earth-shattering climaxes and later introduces a male character to her breasts, Danger and Will Robinson. With the help of her uncle, a detective, she sets out to do just that - as long as she can avoid being distracted by the nightly dreams she's having of a sexy entity… When three lawyers from the same firm are murdered, they ask her to solve the case to allow them to rest in peace. ![]() Anyone looking for a decidedly adult paranormal romance shouldn't miss this.Ĭharley Davidson is a private investigator with a difference - she's the Grim Reaper, ushering souls towards the light. Summary: Super snarky, super steamy, and a truly awesome cast of characters here. ![]() ![]() I really appreciate all the feedback I get for these stories and want to assure my continuing readers that nothing is necessarily permanent. I've done a lot of reading on the subject before, but I'm looking for more specific theories that I can use to explain some of what happens in the story now. As we get closer to the end of the series, I need to tie up loose ends and supply enough time travel information to keep the science in science fiction, so that's what I'm reading about now.

She embraces their way of life, the hard manual labor of a farm, and discovers herself embraced by Rafe’s parents, if not so much by Rafe. The Martinellis are farmers in the Texas panhandle. It begins with sewing and an alluring dress, and setting out to find love–and she does, with Rafe Martinelli, who she ends up having to marry, abandoned by her own family. She also hears the words of her grandfather, a former Texas Ranger: “Be brave.” The rest of this book is Elsa’s struggle against the verdict that she is weak, unloved, and undesirable to be brave. ![]() ![]() ![]() Suppressed by her successful father and overbearing mother, she takes refuge in her books–and dreams of someone who will love her. In my mind, this one holds its own with The Grapes of Wrath ( review), both in capturing the conditions of the Dust Bowl and the migrant camps in California, and in its lead character, Elsa Martinelli, who holds her own with Tom Joad.Įlsa was the sickly sister of two beautiful girls, taken out of school and confined to her home after contracting rheumatic fever.

Gradually, the small farmers and sheepmen begin to rally to Joe's beanfield as the symbol of their lost rights and their lost lands. But like everything else in the dirt-poor town of Milagro, it would be a patchwork war, fought more by tactical retreats than by battlefield victories. And so began-though few knew it at the time-the Milagro beanfield war. Carefully (and also illegally), he tapped into the main irrigation channel. Joe Mondragon, a feisty hustler with a talent for trouble, slammed his battered pickup to a stop, tugged on his gumboots, and marched into the arid patch of ground.
