Blog Tour and Review: The Cold Cold Sea by @LindaHuber19 #LoveBooksGroupTours

August 26, 2018 by Ann Marie 9 Comments

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for The Cold Cold Sea by Linda Huber. Though reliably disturbing, stories about missing children never fail to attract my attention. When I had the opportunity to join the blog tour for this one, I couldn't say anything but YES! The Cold Cold Sea is told in the third person but straightaway events and twists brought the phrase "unreliable narrator" to mind. I ...

Review of “Inherit the Bones” by Emily Littlejohn

December 3, 2016 by Ann Marie 3 Comments

Inherit the Bones

"...I've always thought there are currents running through our world and our lives, threads if you will, that touch and connect all things. Events, years after they've happened, leave faint fingerprints that linger and change the surface of places over time." A murdered clown. An unknown murder weapon. A surprise ID. A pregnant lead investigator. Her partner with questionable professional ethics. ...
