A dark, suspenseful new thriller about the mysteries of fate, the unbreakable bond of siblings, and a notorious serial killer who was said to know the future. If your familiar with Alex North's work, this has the same feel as his previous novels The Whisper Man and The Shadows. The main idea in this book… Continue reading The Angel Maker by Alex North
A charming, touching, heartwarming story about found family in unexpected places. This was a feel-good story that also touched on heavy topics like bullying, marriage issues, ageism, loneliness and work stress, and all with such great humor. The cast of characters is so diverse that you wouldn't expect it to work as well as it… Continue reading Iona Iverson’s Rules for Commuting by Clare Pooley

This is a classic JoJo Moyes touching, heartwarming, & funny story. This premise, although a little far fetched, did grab me and had me wondering how a shoe swap could be such a life changing event. Nisha is a rich wife & mother. Her son is away at school in America. And her husband suddenly… Continue reading Someone Else’s Shoes by JoJo Moyes
I don't know if I would classify this as a Rom-Com or a Cozy Mystery, but it was delightful. This is a humorous, laugh out loud story that I really enjoyed. This is a story about family who is always there for you, even when you don't think you need them. Maddeline (Meddy) Chan's mother… Continue reading Dial A For Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto
