Fantastic! I entered the world of Diana Gabaldon via the Outlander series on Starz. Oh the world of Jamie and Claire is lush and romantic but then dark and deadly. Somehow Diana combines romance, history, and fantasy all into one. The narrator was greatly enjoyable and I hope she the narrator the entire way through the series! Now onward...I believe there are currently ten books so far in the series!

Nick & Kate are back to take down some more bad guys. This time their target is Evan Trace, casino owner bent on expansion and destruction. I enjoyed this book the whole way through and then it ended with a big 'ol cliffhanger... Not cool. Also makes me want to visit Hawaii and gave me a hankering for shaved ice.
