Xepherus Reads

  Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!       Christmas books can be whimsical, touching, or down-right hysterical. Whatever Christmas book that you love to read, we can all agree that they make the holidays a lot brighter.   Here are my favorite books that I pull out every Christmas:   How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Suess-  This childhood classic never gets old. I always love reading this tale of grinch in need of Christmas cheer. Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark mysteries-  this mother-daughter collaboration has been a holiday staple for mystery fans for decades. They two authors crossover their popular detectives to create a whimsical and adventurous tale with every book. Dashing Through the Snow is my favorite so far. Free Christmas E-books books-  this has been a tradition of mine for a few years. Kindle offers Christmas themed books for free every year. From young adult to romanc...

  Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!    January 2020 started out hopeful. We even had a decent February and beginning to our March. Then, our lives changed for the better part of a year. I stayed in quite a lot and in doing so, I began to rapidly start to finish the novel I have been writing. Isolation and the ability to work solely on my book gave the venture a new purpose. I developed my characters further and extended the story outward.  Now I am going through my 400 plus page manuscript and fine-tuning the narrative.    They say the next step of any avid reader is to become an author.    I look forward to having the world read my work. I am not a patient person, but with this, I have to be. More news to come.   I will be adding past reviews in my Book Review Rewind series. This will give new readers a chance to view my reviews. I am also reading, which will give you all new reviews.       Have fun reading this ...

Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!   Fool Me Once and  Run Away  were two novels that I could not put down. I became an instant fan of Harlan Coben's writing style, and his ability to tell stories that delivered shocking finales. I decided to seek out more of his novels, and I am happy that I did. Once again I close another Coben novel extremely satisfied.    Don't Let Go is released by Dutton Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House. In this Harlan Coben thriller, we are introduced to Detective Napolean Dumas. For the past fifteen years, he has sought answers to the sudden disappearance of his high school sweetheart, Maura Wells. At the same time his brother, Leo, and Leo's girlfriend were found dead. Many years of questions have circulated Dumas' life and there was always a feeling that something was not quite right. Then a police officer is found dead and the car his...

  Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!       Run Awa y  was a favorite read of mine in 2019. I loved the mystery and the shocking finale. In that intense thriller, I was introduced to Simon Greene and his quest to find his daughter, who had gone missing. Along the way, he encountered fierce lawyer, Hester Crimstein. In her seventies, Hester is a non-stop juggernaut of a personality with a nationally aired television show. I had wondered what she had done while separated from Simon. In the Boy from the Woods, we find out.                                          The Boy from the Woods is published by Grand Central Publishing, an imprint of the Hatchett Book Group. In this story that happens simultaneously with Run Away, we find Hester Crimstein is separated from her client, Simon...
