My Thoughts

This Krewe of Hunter series are my go to books when I want a guaranteed fun read. I always enjoy how the author mixes history, murder mystery and a small bit of romance. The stories move along nicely and I never get bored. Sometimes, I don’t want to cry, or have my stomach in knots from suspense or have bad dreams from something too graphic. All of those emotions can make for some very good reading. But when I simply want to be entertained, come to the end of a book and think “wasn’t that nice” - this is where I go.

Publish date: August 28, 2012.
