The Hounding is out today! My 2 Cents for Free! The Hounding by Xenobe Purvis Released August 5, 2025 Source: Netgalley Get it at your local library or see more @  Goodreads All it takes is one sonofabitch to stir up an entire village. Grrrr. The Hounding is a historical fiction novel about five sisters living on a farm in a small village filled with superstitious people. The sisters have been raised by their grandparents after being orphaned and are mourning their recently deceased grandmother. Many of the townsfolk are wary of them because they’re not demure, mild-mannered creatures. Their grandfather has allowed them to run free and wild.

To Trust a Stranger by Karen Robards Retro Review

Image
About the Book To Trust A Stranger by Karen Robards Romance  Audiobook , 450 pages Released December 2001 Goodreads  | Better World Books    While investigating Sid Carlson's possible adultery on behalf of his wife, Julie, Mac McQuarry becomes attracted to his beautiful client, stumbles into the middle of a mob assassination gone wrong, and finds himself on the run with Julie. These Are My Thoughts To Trust A Stranger starts out silly but it’s the good kind of silly that may actually make you smile if you’re in the right frame of mind. It was fun and just as I was settling in for a fluffy, light-hearted read the heroine went all grrrrr grumbly on me. And it’s never pretty when that happens. Sigh. This is yet another book I only finished because it was an audiobook. Two stars get knocked off because it irritated me so much on my already irritating commute to work. Things begin in a shady part of town in the wee hours of the ...
