Some Choose Darkness
by Charlie Donlea
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is the first in the new Rory Moore/Lane Phillips series. I have now read all of Charlie Donlea's crime thrillers and they do not disappoint. Rory is a forensic reconstructionist and her work with cold case homicides is remarkable!! I liked the use of multiple timelines and POVs and was intrigued by her restoration of porcelain dolls.

I do not read many graphic novels, but they can be informative and fun! I enjoyed this work set in 1848 detailing a 2000+ miles trip on the Oregon Trail. It is hard to fathom all of the dangers that were faced.

I really enjoyed this, but the ending killed me. ?? There were a few twists that were predictable, but I am glad there is a sequel because I still want to find out more.

I really enjoyed this book and was kept guessing as to what happened until almost the end. There were many sad moments but it was overall a very positive read.

Not his best, but not his worst. I didn’t find the twist to be shocking.

book cover


I read this book after seeing it recommended by a fellow Buckeye for a Buckeye Bingo Square! I found it very interesting and liked learning more about Tourette Syndrome. It was heartwarming to have Aven [the armless girl] bond with Connor [with Tourette's] and Zion [weight/self-esteem issues] and to see them supporting and growing stronger with their mutual support.

Here We Go Again

I loved the banter back and forth between Joe, Logan, and Rosemary. The road trip element and Remy were great pieces of the story as well. However, Logan drove me nuts at times with her random pop culture references and weird comparisons.

I had quit reading Patterson and did not realize that he had started another new series. This is the second book in that series and it was a fun read. I do enjoy the trademark 'short chapters' - makes it easier to read in small intervals of time!!
