Susanne’s Review: Another Pulse Pounding Thriller from Alex North! Fate is a funny thing. Either you believe in it, or you don’t. Alan Hobbes is a Professor who teaches Fate, and Free Will, and believes fully in both. As if he knew, or had some sort of intuition, a few hours before Alan Hobbes isContinue reading “The Angel Maker by Alex North @writer_north @CeladonBooks @NetGalley @MacmillanAudio”

Billy Summers by Stephen King @StephenKing #mystery #suspense #characterdrivenfiction #bookreview
Susanne’s Review: Quite the Tale! Billy Summers is gripping, entertaining, somewhat surprising, and yet, somewhat predictable. What I loved: The character of Billy. Brilliant, sweet, kind, and as honest as he can be, given his career choice. Alice Maxwell. What a surprise she turned out to be. The friendship that developed between Billy & Alice.
