Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes by Denise Grover Swank

Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes by Denise Grover Swank

By LK Gardner-Griffie on January 18, 2012

I think I’ve said this before, but I love mysteries. I cut my reading teeth on the cozies of Agatha Christie — I have read every single one more times than I or anyone else can count — and it didn’t stop there.

Author Spotlight: PJ Cowan

By LK Gardner-Griffie on January 14, 2012

I woke up in a somewhat reflective mood this morning and as my mind rambled through various reflections, I stopped when I came to one of the authors I have known for a few years, PJ Cowan.

Review 263: The Fallen Queen by Jane Kindred

Review 263: The Fallen Queen by Jane Kindred

By LK Gardner-Griffie on November 21, 2011

Epic Fantasy, Action, Adventure, Romance. I have been waiting for a chance to read The Fallen Queen for quite some time now. I’ve had the privilege of catching some snippets of the book while playing on Twitter, and the concept intrigued me, so I jumped at the chance to get my hands on an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of the book.

Review 236: Candy Wars: The Tooth Fairies vs The Candy King by R. G. Cordiner

Review 236: Candy Wars: The Tooth Fairies vs The Candy King by R. G. Cordiner

By LK Gardner-Griffie on September 18, 2011

Think back in time to when you were young and had lost your first tooth. The excitement of putting it under your pillow, knowing that the tooth fairy would come and retrieve it and leave you some money in its place. And hoping, against all hope, that somehow you’d know when the tooth fairy came, and might sneak a peek at her as she carried away your tooth.

Review 232: Squalor, New Mexico by Lisette Brodey

Review 232: Squalor, New Mexico by Lisette Brodey

By LK Gardner-Griffie on September 1, 2011

Remember those humiliating moments during childhood and adolescence when making a public mistake? Or when someone outside the family has been subjected to the dorkiness that is your parents? If so, you’ll have an idea of what it’s like to be Darla McKendrick…

Review 226: The Devil’s Garden by Jane Kindred

Review 226: The Devil’s Garden by Jane Kindred

By LK Gardner-Griffie on August 5, 2011

A book’s cover is its calling card and this cover is gorgeous. A lot of times I’ll read a book and go back and look at the cover and realize how the cover didn’t quite capture the story, or how there are bits of the cover which don’t quite fit with the tale inside. But in this case, I couldn’t imagine a more perfect showcase for The Devil’s Garden.

Review 221: Born To Be A Dragon by Eisley Jacobs

By LK Gardner-Griffie on July 19, 2011

It’s not often I have the pleasure of reviewing a book prior to release, so I’m especially honored to have the opportunity to review Born To Be A Dragon the day before it launches.

Review 187: Discovering Wounded Justice: Cruel Menace by Belinda D’Alessandro

Review 187: Discovering Wounded Justice: Cruel Menace by Belinda D’Alessandro

By LK Gardner-Griffie on January 30, 2011

Upon graduation from college, the road of life stretches in front of us. We have seemingly unlimited potential and just need to hop on the road and start moving forward. At that point in our lives, we see the possibilities, we have hope fueling our desires, but out of sight are the curves life will throw as well as the pitfalls we hope to avoid.
