Book Review: The Last Carolina Summer by Karen White

The Last Carolina Summer by Karen White is the story about Phoebe Manigault returning home to Mt. Pleasant, a suburb of Charleston, South Carolina, to help her sister with their ailing mother. When past memories resurface, Phoebe is thrown back into some childhood turmoil. I requested an Advanced Readers Copy ARC of The Last Carolina Summer from NetGalley, and I was ecstatic when the provided me with a copy for free in exchange for my honest review. So, a big thank you goes out to them! When I began reading this story, I just happened to be vacationing in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. I loved hearing about the different places, including streets and a bridge called the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, which I had to cross to get into Mt. Pleasant as well as Isle of Palms. It's always nice to be able to visualize the places and author writes about.

Book Review: Racing the Light (Elvis Cole and Joe Pike, #19) by Robert Crais

book review racing the light robert crais

Racing the Light (Elvis Cole and Joe Pike, #19) by Robert Crais is a thriller where Elvis Cole is contacted by a worried mother named Adele Schumacher because her podcaster son, Josh Shoe, is missing. She brings along bodyguards and is full of conspiracy stories of why her son is missing. Elvis figures this will be an open and shut case but quickly learns he isn't the only one looking for Josh.

First of all, I'd like to thank NetGalley, Penguin Group Putnam, and G.P. Putnam's Sons for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC). I was thrilled and honored to be chosen to read Racing the Light by Robert Crais.

Well written, fast paced, and unputdownable is how I would describe Racing the Light (Elvis Cole and Joe Pike, #19) by Robert Crais. I would've stayed up all night long reading this book if I didn't have to work the next day. This is the first book I've read by this author, and I wasn't disappointed at all.

Situations from previous books in the series were mentioned, but it didn't detract from this book, and it still flowed well. There was plenty of twists and turns as well as some humorous bits that had me laughing out loud. It even had a little romance in it. In all honesty, there isn't one negative thing I could say about this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, and Robert Crais has a new fan in me. 

Five out of five stars is what I give Racing the Light (Elvis Cole and Joe Pike, #19) by Robert Crais. I will be purchasing and reading all the books that came before this book in the series, and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.
