Chill Factor Keeps You Shivering Until The Killer is Revealed

Hey Curious One! It’s been a killer week for me, and I was desperate for a break from all these shifters! I decided to dive into the world of Chill Factor by Sandra Brown. She’s a new author for me, I’ve never read her work before. I was a bit shocked to discover that Chill Factor was originally published in 2005! I’ll explain why below as we dig into Brown’s world today.

Wolf’s Bane by Aimee Easterling – A True Shifter Mystery

This was a good one, Curious One! I took my own advice and did some research. I found a collection of five books, written by individual authors that all centered around shifters. The first book, Wolf’s Bane by Aimee Easterling revolves around two sisters who are secretly fox shifters (kitsune) and a particular alpha wolf who isn’t the leading alpha of the pack. I will try to keep these all a bit shorter than usual too.

Still Waters by Tami Hoag – A Disappointment

It’s been a couple hours now since the last page of this book and I am in the middle of a battle here, Curious One. Tami Hoag’s Still Waters is my discussion of choice today and I can’t believe I’m gonna say this, but I was a bit disappointed in it. If I’m asked who my top crime and suspense authors are, I would have definitively included Tami Hoag in my list. Still Waters, however, is definitely not among them.

Still Waters begins with the introduction of Elizabeth Stuart walking down a gravel road in expensive clothes with spike heels after her car broke down. She literally stumbles into a crime scene and a dead body falls onto her feet.

Blooms of Consequence – Passion, Fear and Hard Choices

Well, we made it Curious One! The final book of the Dusk Gate Chronicles that I have, Blooms of Consequence, did not disappoint! Whoo! There was so much going on! At the end of the last book, Thorns of Decision, we were left wondering what would happen with the gate. The four of them, Thoman, Linnea, Will and Quinn were going to accompany Nathaniel to Quinn’s world to keep Linnea safe from Tolliver’s kidnapping attempts. However, before they could cross over, there were Philothean refugees camped out all over the area, so they were left to stay in the castle.

Breeana Puttroff’s Thorns of Decision Will Hit You Where It Matters

Okay, Curious One. I’m moving through the first four books of the Dusk Gate Chronicles by Breeana Puttroff fairly quickly! They are crazy good reads! This post is going to sort through the third book, Thorns of Decision. If it wasn’t hinted at by the title, you are aware that some prickly instances may happen throughout the book. Some hard feelings are felt, and some decisions are made that begin a trail of pain and new beginnings.

Inside Roots of Insight by Breeana Puttroff

Roots of Insight, book two in the Dusk Gate Chronicles picked up the day after Quinn crossed the gate back into Bristlecone, CO from Eirentheos at the end of Seeds of Discovery. You get a quick glimpse of how difficult it is for her to switch back into homework mode after being gone for 10 days.
