Okay, so I love the Stephanie Plum novels. I mean, Steph, Ranger and the cop make a great team. Even the side characters like Lula, the parents and the grandmother are fantastic. I just didn't find that with Curious Minds. 

Riley Moon is excited about her new job. That is until Emerson Knight comes in demanding to have all of his money. Then things go downhill from there. She ends up being on the run with Emerson, the FBI might be after her and she might not have her fancy job any more. 

These characters, Emerson and Riley just felt flat. They weren't exciting or funny and they had next to zero chemistry. Compared to the Stephanie Plum novels this was just boring and it felt like Evanovich was trying too hard. I don't plan to read the next one of this series...

I'd only read one Evanovich book before this one and had a great time with it. I had never heard of Phoef Sutton but wanted to give this book - the first in a new series - a shot. I'm happy I did. It was truly a fun, non-stop ride filled with murder and mayhem. The storyline was interesting (tracking down stolen gold and avoiding being killed) and the characters were truly a hoot. The bad guys were bad and the good guys were lovable and a load of fun to get to know.

I'm looking forward to reading more about these characters in the next book.

I was given a copy of Curious Minds through NetGalley and Random House in exchange for an honest review.

So I guess the ability to find a comfortable spot in bed, traverses beyond your physical position at rest.....but also has an implication on what you are going to read. I have tried reading several ARC books that I have gained through different sites. Of course I leaped through Janet Evanovich's, Wicked Charms. It was a book I was eager to read since finishing the last one in the series. 

The other books I began are unedited proofs and although they are right up my alley.......my insomnia filled , coughing hacking, life just weren't digging them. Then there was this other book to preview but I couldn't get it to load on my other book social and tracking sites, and lost patience from that end.

While I was cleaning my Kindle, have to keep my baby germ free too it I am just going to keep getting the cold, one book kept on popping up on the internet, Facebook advertisement and in My Favorites (totally had the best intentions to read and re view it awhile back). Now that I have another book further in the series to read and review from Netgalley, I figured I would try and give it a go. Just like trying to find a comfortable spot in bed when you are sick, sometimes it is just as hard to find a book to comfort you through your sickness.

Of course there was a Mira Grant book that I couldn't go wrong with....but wasn't sure if I needed to read any of the other books that I missed in the series to truly love this book like I did with the 1st book in her zombie series Feed. I'm thinking about doing a whole zombie thing with mummy blogs and reading list with the much awaited Fear The Walking Dead starting soon, and the return of TWD. So I put off her book for the moment. 

So here's to Michael R. underwood's, Geekomancy. May this book keep me comforted through my long nights of barking coughs and feeling like poo. 

Of course another night if insomnia with this cold, not like the cold would have mattered. Although being sick with this bug and now being on round two of antibiotics has made me realize just how my day would go after reading this line from the book.....

"If I were a dwarf my name would be Clueless." That would be one of the Snow White Seven Dwarfs if that needs explaining to others that could possibly be confused too as this sun is rising and not a wink of sleep.
