1.5 star.To be honest, my expectations for Claire De Lune were low. This is a book I bought a long, long time ago and have never got round to reading. I only read it now because it looked short and I wanted to get another book done before sleep deprivation and post-concert depression take hold of...
Better than most werewolf stories. Sometimes I feel like werewolf books get a little cliched and more than a little creepy (not in the scary-halloween way, in the eww-what-the-heck way). But this was actually enjoyable. I liked that humans were aware of werewolves and the prejudice against them w...
Unlike Poppinclerk, Captain Cross’s boots were stained and scuffed. His coat was clean but threadbare. His cocked hat sagged atop white hair and a weather-beaten face whose lines indicated he never smiled. He drew up before Rourke. “I’m sending my men over to patch the hull and pump the bilges. O...
Her feet were killing her, and she hoped it wasn't going to slow her down when she ran to the gathering. Maybe wearing the cute-but-deadly shoes hadn't been the best idea after all. At least she had her bag of comfortable clothes— complete with running shoes—waiting for her in the car. &nbs...

Her eyes had dark circles underneath them, but the smile on her face was genuinely happy.“Uh, hey,” Keira said. “How are you?”“Hungry!” Susan announced. “I overslept and missed breakfast.”The off-balance feeling that something was wrong spread t...
Hendrick recited that over and over as he fixed Mariah’s car. He wasn’t going on this trip because of some misguided romantic nonsense. He was going to help a little boy. Period. He repaired the car in a day. Putting the interview with Curtiss Aeroplane on hold wasn’t quit...
Her pulse skipped and bounded. Could it be? Seven years since she last saw an aeroplane. Seven years waiting. It had to be, it just had to. “Why did you stop?” Best friend, Beatrice Fox, pirouetted under her lace-trimmed parasol. “We’re already late.” “Just wait a moment.” Darcy stood still, list...
The place looked strangely quiet, considering Sunday dinner was about to take place. The pastor had indicated the entire extended family would be attending. True, Hendrick Simmons’s automobile was still parked at the carriage house, but Brandon expected to see one or two other cars here. &n...
Minnie would give him a piece of her mind the moment they were out of Vincent Galbini’s earshot. How dare he volunteer her to sew upholstery for some furniture he was making for Vince? What was he thinking? She had no idea how to upholster anything,...
Gabriel wasn’t sure how much she knew about her father’s involvement in the bootlegging ring, and he didn’t want to be the one to enlighten her. He climbed back into the root cellar and stepped between the toppled cases of liquor, avoiding the broken bottles. Slinky whimpered and quaked, definite...
