Summary: Eve and Peabody had no idea how their lives would change when they are called to the Wilfred B. Icove Center for Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgery to investigate a death. Before they leave the first crime scene, another death occurs. There is clearly more going on at the Center than meets the eye. But even Eve can’t imagine what she’ll find before this investigation is over.

💭 This is the case that is referred to over and over throughout the series. It’s essentially the case that makes Eve, her team, and Nadine Furst household names in this future world. The Icove case really makes you suspend belief as the technology in today’s world is not yet this sophisticated (I hope). But it’s hard to rate this as anything less that almost perfect because of the impact this case has on the rest of the series.

I will say this every time I review a book from this series: If you need a good audiobook series, I implore you to try this one starting with Naked in Death. Susan Ericksen makes the characters come alive with her brilliant narration.

❓ What is a technology you hope will be developed in the near future?

Thank you to @bookmarked and @netgalley for the #gifted book.

Summary: Nora dreams of working in fiction publishing. To get her foot in the door, she takes a job at Parsons Press, nonfiction publishers, as an editorial assistant. Five years later, she’s still taking coffee and lunch orders and doing grunt work. Until she meets author Andrew Santos. Nora has an opportunity at a promotion if she can convince Andrew to stay with Parsons. But is that really what;s best for either of them?

💭Who doesn’t love a book about books? This was a nice, easy read and Nora was a relatable character. I liked the chemistry between Nora and Andrew and enjoyed the interplay between them. Interspersed with all the romantic tension was actual life advice about finding one’s purpose and working towards what you really want out of life.

I really enjoyed this one!
