Deadly Nightshade (Deadly Mystery, #1) by Victor J. Banis

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The characters were fairly one-dimensional and not believable as police detectives. The who-dunnit was too straight forward and simple.
Both main characters were walking cliches. Especially the straight cop in this dynamic duo was portrayed as so simple and uneducated, that I wonder how he ever made detective.
Someone looking for a proper cop story should stay away from this. But if you are looking for a little light reading with some not very deep romance thrown in, it'll be fine. Take it with you to the beach!

Dime Store Magic by Kelley Armstrong

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I did not like Paige very much in the previous books, so this ended up sitting on my shelf for over a year. She was as annoying as I remembered in the first half of the book. But I liked the plot and the action picked up nicely in the second half, so I tried to ignore her more stupid personality traits. The book ended up being fun.


Irresistible Forces by Brenda Jackson

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


A free Kindle download. So predictable that I could summarize it after reading the first chapter and was almost spot-on. I skimmed after the first few chapters. Shallow and uninspired, it was painfully boring. Really? If I had paid money for this, I would not have been happy.



( Books I've read in 2010 )

The list is pretty pathetic. One of my two New Year resolutions is to read more in 2011.
