    Yay and congrats to all those winners! Jasmine just recently won a couple of books on my blog too...she is a lucky winner. :)

    "Killer Among Us" was my favorite from the Women of Justice series, more than "Don't Look Back." I do hope you love it!

    I too didn't love "Apothecary's Daughter" when I read it a year and a half ago. Enjoyed "Tutor's Daughter" more, I think.

    "Shattered" -- omw, it's so good! Loved Dani Pettrey, a first-time author for me. Looking forward to reading the other books in the series, and also to reading "Submerged."

    And "Grave Consequences"! I'm immersed in that one right now. Lisa does most certainly not disappoint! Grand Tour...fascinating time period, events, and series in general! :)

    Good list! :)

      Oh, it was your favorite? Now I'm looking forward to reading it even more! :)

      Yeah, I liked it, but there were a few things I didn't like about The Apothecary's Daughter.

      I'm super excited about Shattered! I have a feeling it is going to be so good and I won't want to put it down! :)

      Another one I can hardly wait to read! Grave Consequences is next on my list once I finish Code Blue. So excited! :)

      Thanks for commenting, Charity! :)
