It's time for your curiosity to explore brand new worlds in the palm of your hands.
I couldn’t wait any longer, Curious One! Hide’n Go Seek, the second installment of the Psychic Vision series by my new favorite paranormal author Dale Mayer took me on an incredible ride! If you remember, I read the first book of the series, Tuesday’s Child a few months ago and as soon as I found Hide’n Go Seek, I was ready to step back into the world she created for us!

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.

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.

Sooooo… What do you think of this novel, Curious One? I’m gonna start off by saying that Degree of Guilt, written by Richard North Patterson is one of the most intense novels I have read when it comes to raising questions of personal ethics and morals. Literally every page is full of questions, lies, half-truths, concerns and confusion. Honestly, even with my personal struggle regarding half the content, I loved Degree of Guilt.
I’ve never read or been too interested in courtroom-based novels, but I’m glad I read Degree of Guilt. It was suggested to me by a friend, and I will definitely say it was worth it.

Okay Curious One. This next novel will get you! I promise, if you are into psychological thrillers even in the slightest of ways, you will fall in love with this debut novel, Before I Go to Sleep, written by S.J. Watson.
Hopefully, we can stay on the same page with this discussion as I do my best to navigate both my feelings towards the events happening in Before I Go to Sleep and depicting the events happening in a way that doesn’t lose you! At the ending there are a few group discussion questions that the author posed and a couple of them I would love to explore with you.
I realize how often my brain gets tangled up in the web of the storyline that is being weaved by the author, but Before I Go to Sleep was astounding! I undeniably loved it! Even as the reader, looking into the life of Christine, you think you have found the answer and then get convinced you are totally wrong! Surprisingly, one of the first thoughts that popped into my head was “what if Ben isn’t really Ben?” And then Bam! You are convinced so deeply that he is and you forget you ever thought that until almost the very ending and you are left with a “What??!” expression on your face as you keep staring at the sentence you just read in complete bewilderment! I mean…WHOA! You see it coming, but even still, it slams into you like an avalanche.

Alright, Curious One. If you read my last Curiosity, you will be aware that this is officially my second audio book! I cannot say how thankful I am that the The God Project audio book was amazing. It was good enough that I am contemplating visiting another thrift shop to find some more for my next few trips!

Hey there Curious One! I have been spending long hours on the road recently and therefore, haven’t been able to read as often as usual. My spare time is filled with driving and gas stops instead of reading, so when I was browsing a thrift shop, I saw some audio books and, on a whim, I grabbed one! I have never been interested in audio books before. I prefer the feel of the paper between my fingers and the ability to voice the characters in my own head. However, spending 6+ hours on the road a couple times a month, I began to miss reading. So, I decided to give audio books a try!
First off, let me say that my car is an older model (1999) so it doesn’t come equipped with an aux cable (just a single disc CD player) which is why I want to specify that when I say audio book, I mean books on CD’s, not an audio file downloaded to my phone or a media player. Gotta go “old-school”! Hahah!
Written by Stephen White, The Siege is described as a pulse-pounding thriller. I may or may not fully agree with that. We will get into that in a moment…
