So many good books these last few weeks but if you are a romantasy fan, then you must pick up Silver Elite. I DEVOURED that  book. I literally can't wait for the sequel that is out next May. Sarah Pekkanen always writes a great thriller and her latest kept me guessing.

Uh, wow it's been a bit since I've done a Sunday Skim. Which means there's quite a few books listed above. June and July are always filled with travel baseball weekend trips which means I get to hang out with some of my favorite people, so not a lot of reading is to be had. Also, it's taken me a bit to get through my audiobooks lately and I'm not sure why but hoping to get back into a groove. 

I can't believe we are almost in August!! Where does the summer go (asks everyone everywhere). Here's to the next week of great reads or listens!

Finally making it through some of my books, even though it took me longer than it should have to finish King of Ashes but it wasn't because of the book. S.A. Cosby always writes a wicked tale.

Review Quickies


Another fantastic mystery/thriller by the author of The Last Flight and The Lies I Tell. This one focuses on a 50 year old double murder that still hasn't been solved in the town of Ojai. Many suspected the middle brother but now he's ready to tell his story but only to his estranged daughter. This is definitely a quick read and while I figured out one piece of the puzzle, I didn't see the other one coming. Fun note, I was in California the weekend before I started reading this and drove through Topanga Canyon and by Ojai. 
I've never heard of younger people rooming with older people but it makes sense especially in a place like NYC. So when Ms. Schorr announced this book, I was definitely intrigued at how it would play out. Adam and Sabrina are adorable in their will they or won't they chemistry but you know they will but in that lies complications neither of them foresaw. Marcia is a ton of fun and knows when to lay down the law and when to let them figure it out. It's the perfect summer book and I read it in 2 days. 

So it does seem like every romance book is set in NYC and while I get that, can someone write one in Chicago? I mean it has just as much to offer as NYC (don't come at me, NYers). That being said this one has much more spice than I was expecting but it was also very sweet and insightful. I mean you know right away that Elle is going to give in to her attraction to Parker even though she insists she hates him. It's the whole "thin line between love and hate." Another quick read for me and definitely a great summer book.
