Readers who are searching for something to tide them over until the next “Black Dagger” book comes out should look no further than this series; Goodman’s second book in the series can be enjoyed by any contemporary romance reader, especially lovers of dogs and football; readers willing to withstand numerous ludicrous scenarios should have plenty of fun with this steamy romance |

| Fiction: Xpress Reviews | March 30, 2018
Part fairy tale, part coming-of-age adventure, Fine’s debut was written under the tutelage of Audrey Niffenegger; this tenth and final book in this best-selling Norwegian series is perhaps one of the best; Mackay delivers another gritty, staccato-told tale |
|
|
| Nonfiction: Xpress Reviews | March 30, 2018
Readers will get a better picture of Canada in Dave Bidini’s On a Cold Road; an essential purchase across the consumer, public, and academic market segments owing to its singular scope and acceptable execution |

| E-Originals: Xpress Reviews | April 6, 2018
A fabulous choice for readers unsure of or hoping to discover the motorcycle club (MC) subgenre; recommended for romance collections, especially where Sosa is popular; fans of Van Hulzen’s series will want to keep up; Wolff’s latest novel is emotionally charged and filled with white-hot intimacy |
|

| Fiction: Xpress Reviews | April 6, 2018
Strongly recommended for fans of suspense and enthusiasts of the short form; a baffling and intriguing science thriller that is part Tom Clancy with a dash of Michael Crichton; Barron delivers a fine first entry in the noir genre; for readers who appreciate twisted, unlikable characters; a must-read for fans of sf-based mysteries; fast-paced with an unexpected ending, this novel has everything fans of the genre could want |

|
| Nonfiction: Xpress Reviews | April 6, 2018
The only essay to discuss an artist at length is John Edward Hasse’s piece on Duke Ellington’s early years in Washington and his subsequent love-hate relationship with the town. A disappointing collection that lacks direction |
|
|
| Graphic Novels: Xpress Reviews | April 6, 2018
Will appeal to mature readers with a penchant for classic pulp fiction, great pen-and-ink work, and edgy whodunits; a stellar continuation of the first book in the series. Ideal for YA audiences, high school and college classrooms, and anyone interested in a full view of American history |
