The girl I met when we were nine is now the woman who said “yes” to being my wife.
But Josie’s not planning our wedding; she’s too consumed by things that happened over a century ago.
She has terrible dreams and unrelenting visions of the unspeakable. I believe her, but I don’t understand her.
If I can’t understand her, I can’t stop her.
If I can’t stop her, I can’t save us.
And without us … well, I can’t imagine that world.
I enjoyed Memories of a Life far more than the first book, where my issues with the main character overshadowed my appreciation of the story.

Mystery, Romantic Suspense

Aly Martinez is my go-to author when I’m looking for romantic suspense with lots of twists. In a departure from her signature duets and trilogies, From the Embers is a standalone.
I really liked this second-chance bodyguard romance, but the audiobook narration for Code Name: Genesis took my enjoyment to the next level.
The Ravenhood series was only intended to be a duet. I devoured Flock and Exodus. The plot is unique, riveting, and twisted, but they are not easy reads. I managed to keep my sanity intact, however, with the help of some Tums, screamed obscenities, wine, and therapy sessions courtesy of Facebook spoiler groups. The Finish Line was going to be an extended epilogue but it turned into a full-length novel. Some epilogues are simply a nice bonus, but this book? I had no idea just how much I needed to read it.
Loverboy is exactly the light diversion I needed. The co-owner of a cybersecurity agency goes undercover as a barista in a plucky heroine’s pie shop. Pie. Lattes. Mystery. Romance. Sold!
I was pleasantly surprised by this romantic suspense. Unlawful Contact has a story sucked me in almost immediately, and fed me a steady diet of yummy intrigue, danger, and sexiness. The mystery involves an investigative reporter and an escaped convicted killer/decorated Army vet/ex-DEA agent who team up to find his missing sister and uncover some shady drug dealings in the process.
I pulled an all-nighter reading Flock and my mind is reeling. I really wasn’t sure what to expect from the plot because the synopsis is frustratingly ambiguous. Now that I’m familiar with this very original story, I’m still trying to process what I read.
The conclusion of the Life Duet is every bit as riveting as I anticipated. The Life You Stole is twisted and dark on a totally different level than book one. I feel like I’ve been emotionally pummeled.
I’m still trying to wrap my brain around what I just read, but what I do know is that The Life That Mattered knocked my socks off. With painstaking execution, this entirely unique, consuming, passionate, and thought-provoking novel puts Jewel E. Ann’s literary sorcery on full display. Nice to see you again, Book Hangover.
I had forgotten just how well Jewel E. Ann writes suspenseful fiction. Jersey Six is mind-blowing, nail biting, deliciously complex, and intriguingly dark. I. Loved. It. That’s really saying something because I don’t typically go for dark stories.
Ok, Aly Martinez. You got me. You got me good. I pride myself on being able to spot plot twists a mile away, but I should know by now that I’m no match for your clever mind.
Heartbreak Warfare deserves to wear its title like a badge of honor. The book is a military romance unlike any I have read before. It is unflinchingly raw, poignantly real, astoundingly passionate, and compulsively readable.
