A glimpse of Mexico from the inside

Revisado: 02-25-25

I had my heart in my throat several times during this book. I can’t imagine being a police officer in Mexico with all the crime and corruption. Never knowing who you can trust must be horrible. And then to be a woman police officer adds another level of fear. Emilia’s fellow cops haven’t always made her life easy at all and have sometimes put her in horrible situations. But there are good people in her life too and that makes this book both believable and enjoyable. Emilia is starting to blossom as she finally allows Kurt inside and lets go of some of her past secrets. Emilia is smart, sometimes a bit reckless, and very human. This book has a lot of darkness but it’s balanced well and I really like this series. The narration was fantastic once I got used to the accent.

Love this series!

Revisado: 09-29-24

This series just got even better. The second book was amazing. So much angst and evil and love, many battles, much deception and magic made this an amazing and epic tale. And of course the big beasties are fascinating. I don’t know where the next book in the series can possibly go but I am on board to go along for the ride. An aside, it did get confusing at times when it switched back and forth between the past and present but if didn’t harm my enjoyment.

Good vs Evil

Revisado: 02-08-24

4.5 stars rounded up to 5. What a unique take on …. Vampires? It reminded me a little of the Highlander series. Very enjoyable. Lots of history mixed in. Bad guys that it was easy to dislike getting murdered? I’m in! Excellent job with creepy atmosphere and explanations that surprised me. The ending was fabulous!! Lots of tension throughout. Every reveal was a red herring until the absolute last quarter or so. What an evil entity that was so good at manipulating even the best of souls. Loved this!!

Immature and disjointed

Revisado: 02-03-24

I am torn between 2 and 3 stars with this one. There were some interesting ideas but it didn’t flow well. It seemed immature and disjointed. I listened to the audiobook and I saw what another reviewer said about having to listen to it at 1.8X speed. I did too. The narrator was soooo slow. I also hated the political rants. So it was a so so listen for me. I think Stan Lee’s name was used to sell something mediocre. I didn’t hate all of it so I am giving it 2.5 stars rounded up to 3.

Kept me on the edge of my seat!

Revisado: 12-31-23

Wow! That was fun, exciting, and terrifying all at once. Don’t get me wrong….parts were completely ridiculous liken to a James Bond variety of novel and/or movie. However, if you can leave reality behind and get swept up in the story it’s a really fun novel. I mean an untrained person going into space and not passing out is completely ludicrous. But it was still really fun. McCracken balls has a new cheerleader. Count me in! It was a great audiobook!

I liked a book about chess?!?

Revisado: 12-22-22

I was debating between a 4 and 5 star rating and I am going with 5 stars because this author actually made me read about chess and like it! I loved the ending. That was the real icing on the cake for me. Beth was sometimes hard to like but overall she was a pretty strong character that did an amazing job raising herself. Because ultimately that is what she did. I am so glad that her experimentation and trial and error with drugs and alcohol didn’t ultimately snuff her life or talent out. Jolene was the perfect choice to help her turn her life around. An amazing story. And not always an easy story. Definitely worth your time.

Dewey Andreas is amazing!

Revisado: 09-27-20

What can I say? The sequel was equally entertaining. A true warrior has to have training, quick thinking, and a certain amount of luck to live very long. Yes, of course, sometimes it seems a bit too amazing that he survives some of the situations he gets himself into or he finds himself in. However we all love a hero and that’s part of the story. They somehow survive, go on to avenge their brothers in arms, and save the world yet again. I’m ok with that. I very much enjoy Dewey Andreas and will keep reading this series.

A story set during the pandemic

Revisado: 08-28-20

This one was a little tough for me. Partly because it was predominantly about relationships without much action. But mostly because it’s set in the quarantine and pandemic going on now. I keep trying to pretend this is over because I’m tired of behaving in such a crazy way even though the death rate is not as great as it is for the flu. It feels like the world has gone mad and focusing on it is NOT something I want to do. So it was rather painful for a while. But overall the story was a good one and there was more going on then I first expected. It won’t be a read for everyone but it is a good story.
