The Alchemical Detective (Riga Hayworth #2)

Amazon / Goodreads

GOODREADS BLURB

Her gargoyle’s got an attitude.

Her magic’s on the blink.

Alchemy might be the cure… if Riga can survive long enough to puzzle out its mysteries.

The first in the addictive, action-packed Riga Hayworth series.

Someone’s killing psychics in bucolic Lake Tahoe, and the police think Riga may be connected to the crimes.

They could be right.

Riga recognizes the sinister hand of a long-dead enemy in the crime scene. Juggling demons, daimons, and a devilish casino owner, can this metaphysical detective catch a killer before she becomes the next target?

If you’re a fan of Patricia Briggs, Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris or Deborah Harkness, don’t miss this twisty paranormal mystery, because this complicated, 40-something heroine isn’t like the others…

I added The Alchemical Detective by Kirsten Weiss to my TBR on 11.8.12 and I am sooooo glad I am doing the Backlog post. I may never have found this otherwise. A female Gargoyle…sounds like a hoot to me and I am glad the book was brought to my attention….again. 🙂 What a fun play on the character’s name….Riga Hayworth.

Midnight Blue by D S Land & The Timekeeper by Jordana Barber #DSLAND @JordanaBarber

Midnight Blue over MexicoI was really excited about Midnight Blue Over Mexico by D S Land because it seemed to be a bit different than the usual technothriller, you know, greed, conspiracy, technology…used for good and evil… characters that kept me reading, caring, hating…and I have to ask, could you do without your cell phone…for a minute, an hour, a day, to save your life and those of others?

I had added Midnight Blue Over Mexico by D S Land to my TBR on 10.9.12 and The Timekeeper by Jordana Baker on 10.12.12

The Timekeeper (Aliis Mundi, #1) I saw the cover…and the title…and thought The Timekeeper by Jordana Barber would be filled with awesome characters…IT WAS…a lot of danger and action…THERE WAS…some hot romance…CAN’T DO WITHOUT THAT.. a satisfying ending…GOT THAT…and a desire to read more…I DO.

Books From The Backlog – Resonance by A J Scudiere @ajscudiere #booksfromthebacklog

Right now, I have 2488 books on my Goodreads TBR. No matter how many books I read, the mountain grows taller and I am going through it…slowly. If I have the book, it stays, no matter what. I’m adding tags that I never even thought about doing at the time I added the book. It would have been so much easier if I had done it then.

Resonance

Amazon / Goodreads

GOODREADS BLURB

The shift is coming. Soon. Dr. David Carter knows this. However, he’s a geologist, so ‘soon’ means anywhere from tomorrow to a thousand years from now. People are dying. Now. Drs. Jordan Abellard and Jillian Brookwood are standing at the edge of SuperAIDS. Or are they? They won’t be able to figure it out if they can’t get some authorization signed – and soon. But they’re peons and no one is paying attention. Whole species died at the last polar shift. 65 million years ago. Right now Dr. Becky Sorenson has some seriously mutated frogs in her lab. In L.A. Bees are making abnormal columns on the side of the freeways. In Georgia, birds are migrating out of season. It all makes a sick kind of sense when the doctors consider that the last magnetic shift is strangely coincidental to the dinosaur die-out. And the only similarity in the problems today is that each is occurring in a ‘hotspot’ – a pocket of reverse polarity tells them all them all the shift is already here.

I added this back on 10.2.12. This Amazon freebie has a cool cover. Reading the blurb again makes me feel this will be a good fit for me and I am really curious about the ‘shift.’
