Dear Ms. Smith, When I told some friends I was reading your YA novel, Flygirl, and what it was about, one of them directed me to this article at The New York Times. It’s about the awarding of Congressional Gold Medals to the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), who provided ... more >

REVIEW: What Sarah Saw by Margaret Daley

JayneBook Reviews / C Reviews / C Reviews Category / EbooksHarlequin / Harlequin Love Inspired Suspense / louisiana / missing persons4 Comments

Dear Ms. Daley, Modern methods of crime solving fascinate me. I admit I’m a real life CSI junkie and can watch a whopping amount of cable shows which explain how law enforcement officials crack a case.

REVIEW: Not Quite Dead by Sela Carsen

JayneBook Reviews / C Reviews / C Reviews Category / Ebookslouisiana / novella / vampires4 Comments

Dear Mrs Carsen, Thanks for sending us a copy of your ebook “Not Quite Dead.” I think it’s the first time I’ve read a book featuring this particular type of paranormal hero and to be honest, I’m still trying to name him. Is he a zombie? Or should we just ... more >
