This is my favorite of the Vanza books, I love the female lead and her views on women's rights. This is the book I read first of Vanza and got me into it and standalone this book is great. I didn't catch any references back to the first two that I was hoping to but this one takes place a number of years later I think which is also interesting.

Wicked Widow (Vanza book 2) (again)
by Amanda Quick.
Read this one really quickly, started last night and finished it this morning.

I thee Wed (Vanza book 1) (again)
by Amanda Quick.
Just had to re-read the vanza books in order this time. While the Vanza stuff itself can be annoying (and i remember complaining about that the first time through), I really like the actual characters in the Vanza books.
Finished this up this weekend, I read most of the drive and finished it when we got home.

Wait Until Midnight (again)
by Amanda Quick.
Another re-read. This one is about Adam Hardesty and Caroline Fordyce who is an author for the Flying Intelligencer. This paper pops up in a few of her books but here, the heroine is a sensation author and she's a great deal of fun!

Silent in the Grave (again) (Silent series book 1)
by Deanna Raybourn.
Yup - AGAIN. An absolute favorite series and they re-did the audiobooks so that Ellen Archer was reading all 3! So a nice consistent listen I buzzed right through book one and on to book 2 already!

The River Knows (again)
by Amanda Quick.
Now that i've read all there is to read by Amanda Quick i miss them! So I'm going to re-read a few that I read over a year ago. This one was pretty much my favorite, it was my first by her that was not Arcane Society and it surely left an impression as being my favorite. I thoroughly enjoyed it the second time through knowing the characters a bit already!
One thing that kept bothering me was the mention of some side characters - Clement Corvus specifically and his female counterpart. I felt like they had a bigger part in a later book so I'll have to keep my eye out in case they come up again. I remember them so well and yet they have a pretty small part so I was mightily confused.
I'm also currently listening to Deanna Raybourne's Silent series again in audio form and there are strong similarities between Amanda Quick and the Silent series so I may have been pushing characters from one to the other.
Anyway - loved it the second time through enough to continue with the re-reads!

Red Lily (In the Garden book 3)
by Nora Roberts.
The last in the trilogy wraps up the mystery of the ghost and brings together Harper and Hayley. Hayley is plagued by possession by the ghost which adds a very interesting twist and helps us to learn more about the ghost.
I enjoyed the series, probably this last book the best of all of them.
