Xpress Reviews: E-Originals | April 28, 2017
Bachar’s latest is a great read for sf romance fans; a perfect, quick read for those with way too much to do; and a bonus for romance readers with a passion for the icy tundra over the sweltering beaches
Xpress Reviews: Fiction | April 28, 2017
Blauner’s first novel in more than ten years was worth the wait; Daily’s debut is good for those looking for a fluffy, fun summer read; aficionados of Gregg Hurwitz will quickly become Hamilton fans; London’s third “Highland Grooms” title is enchanting; Nakamura is for those who like their fiction dark; Shaara offers much to enjoy; Swinson delivers a superb second series installment
Nonfiction: Xpress Reviews | April 28, 2017
Many sections of Crofton and Black’s book are too facile and leave the work skewed and unsatisfying; those interested in learning more about the Roosevelts than just their public personae will enjoy their grandson’s take
E-Originals: Xpress Reviews | May 5, 2017
Christian’s fast-paced plot and action-packed scenes are more than enough to keep readers turning the pages; a good purchase that will appeal to romance readers who like a sweet story with just the right amount of spice; a fun, lighthearted departure from standard romance fare
Nonfiction: Xpress Reviews | May 5, 2017
This book will appeal to readers interested in a comprehensive history of board games; Gibson’s latest will be a big hit for bakers of all levels; an excellent book for those with a serious interest in anthropology
Graphic Novel: Xpress Reviews | May 5, 2017
This well-written, splendidly illustrated title would be a good YA crossover. It will stir the hearts of misunderstood riot grrrls, owners of unruly canines, and LGBTQ readers
E-Originals: Xpress Reviews | May 12, 2017
Libraries where S.E. Jakes is popular will find a ready audience for Albert’s “Out of Uniform” books; with sexy heat between the sheets and an unpredictable twist, Dover’s new series opener should have wide appeal; Mecca’s book is a strong choice for any reader who enjoys stories set in medieval times featuring strong-willed female characters and knights
Fiction: Xpress Reviews | May 12, 2017
Fans of superhero fiction will find that these imaginative stories; this action-packed sequel to The Girl with All the Gifts is a zombie thriller with a sympathetic cast of characters and multiple narrators; Harrison’s latest is a lackluster thriller
Nonfiction: Xpress Reviews | May 12, 2017
Despite the tongue-in-cheek attitude and silly footnotes, Cham’s work is highly recommended for science shelves and YA collections; rather than resorting to health-scare tactics, this topic could have been presented by Dufault in a less ominous way
