King and Maxwell by David Baldacci My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read this series with the World of Sleuths Group. These were my first books by David Baldacci and I really enjoyed them. This installment seems to be the last in the series, which makes me a bit sad and the end felt incomplete as well which doesn't leave the best last impression for me. As usual, I did enjoy the investigation. I did also like that a character from a previous book was tied in. That being said, there is something that happens with said character at the very end of this novel that doesn't make any sense at all. I have listened to most of this series on audiobook. The first 2 were narrated by a different person than the last 4. There was also dramatization added to the last 4 audiobooks that I didn't quite care for. That didn't prevent me from continuing to listen to these books though. As a series, I really enjoyed this one and am looking forward to reading mor...

The Cat, the Quilt and the Corpse by Leann Sweeney My rating: 2 of 5 stars Read for #Book1CoziesClub This one was just ok for me. I never owned pets, so I couldn't really connect with these characters. I did learn a lot about cats though including a breed I hadn't heard of before. The main character's investigative style bothered me. She threw out some snide comments about people's appearances in her head that I didn't appreciate. Threats are thrown about unrelated to the case, but nothing is done about it and that didn't sit well with me. Seeing how long it took me to get through this one, I think it's highly unlikely that I will read the next one. You never know though. View all my reviews

Generations by Steve Alten My rating: 3 of 5 stars Truthfully, I was a little disappointed in this one. First of all, there was so much going on in this book! I kind of wish we just stuck to a couple story lines instead of all that we encountered here. Can Terri just get a break for a second? Not only with Terri, but a lot of the personal story lines brought the pacing down a bit for me in this one. The jumps in time made things confusing as well. There were sections about the animals, which truthfully is what I enjoy most in these books, but there are just so many species now. The last few chapters of this book were my favorite. Full of action and the animals, which is what really hooked me on this series in the first place. That ending though, seriously?!? While I'm glad there will be more to look forward to, I hope there is not long to wait. View all my reviews
