the 2-hour episodes make it easier to digest, mark meer is a lovely keeper (his voice and flow >>>>), and it introduced me to some very cool players!

i knew carlos luna from dimension 20 (his role in coffin run was hilarious!), and saige ryan from the good time society’s call of cthulhu games, but lucia versprille and patrick logan were completely new faces for me

loved the chemistry of all the players! felt like a mix of scooby doo (each pc clearly has an expertise/“role” in the group) and stranger things (relationships and varied backgrounds of the pcs)

i’ve recently been getting into lovecraftian stuff and always loved dark academia so the outfits, setting, and general vibes of this gang were 10/10

the actual play itself was super fun! i enjoyed the various props, actors brought in to play npcs, and the choice to have the dice and such online instead of taking up space on a table to make the visual arrangement feel more intimate and era-appropriate

Title: Amber Alert Author: Patrick Logan Series: Chase Adams FBI #4 Number of Pages: 255 Genre: Hard-Boiled Mystery & Police Procedurals Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Date of Publication:  July 31, 2018 ISBN: 978-1724627575

Patrick Logan’s Chase Adams FBI series was another series that I started reading in my local mystery book club. Book one we read about three years back. His books are super easy to read, a little unrealistic, but really action packed and fast reads which is why I like them.

The series revolves around a drug addicted FBI agent who is constantly looking for her sister who went missing when she’s younger. In the mix of being addicted and trying to find her sister she is finding herself in dramatic situations where she hangs on to the few people who still care about her and help her solve the cases.

In this book she is attempting to find a group of missing girls who are kidnapped and Chase believes it’s by the same group who took her sister. Her therapist and partner do not believe her and want to get her into rehab, however her partner has drug secrets of his own that are revealed, and Chase turns out to be right about the connection.

If you can get past the unreliable characters and the unrealistic storyline’s you can really enjoy the quick pace of this series. I will look forward to what happens next in book 4.5 based off of the sister.

Woohoo, first book down for the year on the first day of the year! Off to a good start! Happy 2024 everyone!

Drawing Dead is book three of Patrick Logan’s Chase Adams FBI series. I started this series during my local mystery book club. The storyline revolves around a woman in the FBI who has severe trauma after her little sister was kidnapped years before. She’s also a drug addict and can’t keep it separate from the job.

I like that these stories are easy reads. The storylines and settings are different in each book and Logan keeps it entertaining. For the most part I also like the characters in each of these books. Logan has kept a consistent partner for Chase within the FBI and his character starts to develop more in the third book. I like that this book toggled to his point of view of things.

I don’t care for Chase’s drug use / background in these books. I’m hoping after this book that Logan works to move Chase on from that. I feel like it’s a common theme among a lot of police crime series to have the main character ailed with addiction problems.

★★★★ Will read book 4, would recommend the series if you’re looking for some light reading.

Another book down for the year. April has been going by way too fast! This one was another crime book. Read book 1 for my book club and I have an OCD issue where I have to continue reading a series even if I don’t like it. This one currently has 11 books and counting…

The story line revolves around a woman named Chase who’s training to become an FBI agent so she can hopefully find her missing sister. Chase is a struggling addict in the middle of a divorce and custody battle. She likes difficult cases and tends to want cases that have women for victims.

I like that the storyline is fast paced and is entertaining. There were not any slow parts and the characters are relatively likeable. The ending have a good twist when it came to solving the case.

I did not like this book as much as I liked book 1. The addiction part was a little drawn out during the entirety of the book and it took focus away from the case of the murdered women. I think there could’ve been a lot more focus on the actual case versus Chase and her personal issues, the case lacked a lot of detail and felt rushed.  

★★★ Not too much of a fan of this one. But because of my OCD issues, I won’t leave a series unread, I will continue on to book 3.
