Sister Mine
This is a tale with a few interesting, quirky touches, but it's weighted down by one-dimensional characterizations, and long, awkward scenes. Only die-hard Hopkinson fans will want this fantasy. [See Prepub Alert, 9/24/12.]
PREMIUM
Target
An interesting and highly entertaining police procedural for those who wish to read their way around the globe and especially for those inclined to move away from some of the "chilly" Scandinavian thrillers and into warmer climes. [See Prepub Alert, 3/21/12.]
PREMIUM
Darker After Midnight
There are some truly stomach-turning scenes, and even a hardened reader of thrillers will blanch. Burdett, as usual, can't resist his tendency to lecture farangs (Thai slang for Westerners) on materialism and the myriad weaknesses of the Western mind. While these lectures are getting tiresome, Sonchai and his gritty adventures as philosopher-cop will have fans looking for the next installment.

Money Can't Buy Love
Fans of Briscoe, frothy chick lit, and African American pop fiction will enjoy this as a quick summer read.

If Sons, Then Heirs
Those familiar with Cary's excellent 1991 memoir, Black Ice, may be tempted to give this novel a chance, but the book never really finds its rhythm and ultimately disappoints.
