Shelter in Place, by Nora Roberts

I shouldn’t have given in. Alas, the woman can write, and I’m weak.

Beware: copaganda; mass shooting; fatphobia; slut-shaming; suicide; PTSD; lots of page space from the killer’s point of view; graphic gun violence; domestic violence; explicit sex on page; swearing.

Lakota Dreaming, by Constance Gillam

Book one

Since my first choice for this month’s TBR Challenge was a resounding failure, I’m giving this ARC by an entirely new-to-me author a try: the heroine has just been fired, and is taking the “opportunity” to travel from New York to a reservation in South Dakota.

Beware: HFN, magical Native Americans, swearing, racism, equating evil with mental health issues.

Snowstorm Confessions, by Rachel Lee

Another year, another stab at SuperWendy’s #TBRChallenge. The theme this month is “Once More with Feeling”; my interpretation is two fold: trying again an author whose work I used to enjoy but haven’t read in a while, and a second chance romance.

First Grave on the Right, by Darynda Jones

The theme for this month’s TBR Challenge, hosted as always by the most amazing SuperLibrarian Wendy, is “Once Upon a Time…”

And, because I am intimidated by the sheer number of books in both my print and digital TBR cordilleras, I settled on this book after two minutes of searching: it has paranormal elements, which means it’s just a bit beyond a fairy tale, therefore it fits. (What do you want from me?)

Also, this review is late.

Beware: domestic violence; threat of rape; sexual abuse of a child; death of children; death in childbirth; miscarriage; swearing; explicit sex on page; racism; mentions of cancer.
