Paul Doiron's Almost Midnight

Almost Midnight by Paul Doiron was given to me by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. This book was released by St. Martin's Press Minotaur Books on July 2, 2019.

Warden Mike Bowditch is trying to figure out who attempted to kill his wolf hybrid when he learns that his best friend Billy is going to be released from prison after defending a female prison guard in an attack by another prisoner. Mike soon investigates and learns that the prison is filled with conspiracies and underground smuggling rings. Mike has to find a way to protect Billy's wife and children from the inevitable attacks on them before it's too late.

This was not the first book about Mike Bowditch, but it was for me. I really appreciated the fact that it didn't seem like I was behind or missing anything super important to the story by having not read the other books. I found myself really rooting for Billy. When it came to Shadow (Mike's wolf) I would find myself swearing I knew who did it. In the end I was somewhat right, but not 100%. I love when a book doesn't end up how I think it will.

Overall this was a good mystery. It had several aspects that all tied together. The characters were fun to follow and well thought out. I would definitely be interested in reading other Mike Bowditch books.

Is One Truly the Loneliest Number?

I was given a digital copy of One? by Jennifer L. Cahill. She reached out to me through Twitter, and she was so sweet. I couldn't wait to dive into her book.💙 The Plot (From Goodreads): It's London in the mid-noughties before Facebook, iPhones and ubiquitous wifi.

Wine or Lose by Amanda Chaperon

I was so freaking disappointed by this book. I bought the alternate covers (which are absolutely stunning) at Romance Con and I expected to read about (PER THE AUTHOR) small town charm, office rivals to lovers, and a happily ever after. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t feel like I got any of that. The first problem lies within the setup of the relationship. Amara and Cal meet in a club, fall in love after like 2 hours, and go back to his place before Amara realizes that Cal is the new CFO that her dad just hired for their family’s winery. He calls her a party princess, she storms out, and fast forward to five years later, when they’re both still holding onto that. How have you seriously not gotten over that one interaction in the span of FIVE YEARS? Second, Cal hates women. You can’t convince me otherwise. When he was trying to prevent Amara’s father from giving her the company, he ONLY talked to her father, shook his hand, and plead his case with him. He paid no attention to ...
