I’m delighted to share my latest reviews, for books 5 and 6 in the Harbor Pointe Series: The Edge of Too Late by Jan Sikes and The Fathomless Affair by Staci Troilo. There are eight books in this series of novellas, all by different authors and set in mysterious and remote Harbor Pointe in northern California.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed both these stories, and also loved the first four books in the series. I’ve been amazed at the different slant presented by each author. But they all somehow manage to form a unified whole. I’m looking forward to reading the remaining two books.
I’ve actually visited that part of northern California, so it’s also been a pleasure to revisit my travel memories when I read this series.

My book review this week is a five-star review for Amanda in Malta: The Sleeping Lady by Darlene Foster.
