Ok, so ... this is the third in a series of which I hadn't read the previous two books. It's easily read as a standalone but I need to say off the bat that although this is the case, and the author does a good job of filling the reader in on the backstory, this … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Perfect Bones by AJ Waines (Dr. Samantha Willerby #3)
The first thing I need to say is that I absolutely love the fact that the author, a MAN - the 'M' is for 'Mike' - has the incredible ability to create such strong, resilient female protagonists. He must have had some pretty amazing role-models in his life! I've had 'The Girl With All the … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – Someone Like Me by M.R. Carey
