Review Quickies

It has been a long time since I've read a David Baldacci book but this one seemed a bit different than his usual ones, so I grabbed the audio. If you are a fan of A Time to Kill, then you won't want to miss this one. In fact, I would love another book with Joe and Desiree. There are some plot twists that I didn't see coming and fair warning if you have empathy this book will piss you off. As much as the book was set in the Civil Rights Era of the 1960s, a lot still, unfortunately, resonates today. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

So Fool Me Once was released 2016 and that's when I read it and I hadn't yet watched the Netflix show before reading it. So when I started this one, without knowing there was an additional character; so it took me a little bit to get into this one. I should have never doubted Mr. Coben because I really liked it. He has never let me down. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

I absolutely adored this book but I also loved Sleepless in Seattle. While it's inspired by the movie it is not a direct deriviative. Aiden and Lucie are fantastic characters and the banter is just perfection. It's not just them but it's the cast of characters in the book from Lucie's daughter, Maya to her dads and then there's Aiden's best friend, Jackson they just complete the whole book. I can't wait for the next one in the series. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Audiobooks have been rockstars lately. In fact, I've put off picking up a book for listening to and/or finishing my audio.  I haven't read a David Baldacci book in a long time but this one caught my eye and I'll be listening to it.

What a way to end January with Onyx Storm. It is my favorite of the series so far and that says a lot since well I've loved them all. I will over think and analyze that book for a long time to come. The Timothy Egan book is timely and not in a good way; except that maybe we should pay attention to history repeating.
